    Make me choose between Avant/Sedan!!!!

    So, B5 Avants were just legalized up here in Canada, and I really like them but have never seen 1 in person. I'm thinking of selling the sedan and importing an avant from the U.S. I need you guys to show me some shots of both sexy avants and sedans to help me choose.

    no I mean that they cannot be registered up here. Our rear bumper laws were stiffer than the U.S. and europe, but were harmonized with everone else this year. we also can't get VW R32s up here because of tougher front bumper requirements. we get gyped on alot of cool cars.

    Stick with the sedan unless you do some hauling. In which case you wont want to do it in your baby anyways.

    The tough part is I have a set of k04s and a southbend stg3 sitting in the garage waiting to go in. If I install the turbos, the car aint going anywhere.

    Re: Make me choose between Avant/Sedan!!!!

    If you like the avants more than the sedan, get one. However, I would personally never buy a car without first seeing it in person. You yourself have already said you've never seen one in person, and who knows, you might completely change your mind when you do. I know plenty of cars that look unbelievably sexy in pictures, and complete ass in person... and vice versa.

    No thanks! To be honest I really didn't even want Imola, but I searched for a low mileage 6spd avant for about a year and that's all I could find, and now I couldn't imagine not having Imola... I love it!

    Re: Make me choose between Avant/Sedan!!!!

    I think a big thing to consider about getting an Avant is, are you single? If you are single I say go for the sedan. For most females wagon=boring guy with kids. A sedan does a lot better with the ladies which is a nice bonus with these cars. And before someone tells me how I'm wrong because their lady likes their wagon, I know not all ladies don't like wagons but if you took a survey of the general female population the majority will prefer the sedan.

    Actually we can get the R32 in now - along with the RS6.

    Personally now that it is available for import I am thinking of doing it, but I am Stage III with the sedan which blows.

    Reason being, the B5 Avant in general was not allowed in Canada, so you would have one heck of a unique vehicle. Plus I have opened my trunk several times and I was like 'man I wish I had an Avant'. Only down side is girls (married or single) hate the thought of an avant /wagon. I even asked my married friends and they agree. This is something you have to trick your wife into since single girls are too unreasonable.

    First stick them in a SUV, and get them loving it. Then bash the crap out of the SUV (slow, bad on gas, handles like crap). Then you pull the 'on the other hand...' card.

    One option I was thinking of doing is turn the sedan into a parts car and the Avant into a daily driver. Swap out the Stage III to the Avant. Lots of work though.

    Re: Make me choose between Avant/Sedan!!!!

    I would say go for it if your sedan is high mileage / silver / stockish (no major work, or stuff you can transfer over)

    For all-around flexibility/practicality and stealthiness, you can't beat an awd avant - FTW!

    Rides:
    '06 S4 Avant, silver/black w/ alcantara, w/ V8 goodness - new DD (finally back in an S!)
    '07 A4 Avant 2.0TQ S-line & Ti, I-white/black (unicorn?) - w/ APR goodness, old DD, now beach-mobile
    '93 BMW 850ci, FE Red/Black - major garage queen

    Previous:
    '01.5 S4 Avant, Silver/Onyx (Sold...miss it a whole lot )
    '98 BMW 328ic, Cosmos/Grey/Black (Sold...miss this one a whole lot, too)
