I just want a comfortable car, the AWD is a huge bonus for rain/snow/etc. and its rated at 30mpg, plus 2001 the 1.8t is rated 20 hp more
If I did mod it, it would just be very minor stuff, I will probably have a project car as well sometime
Don't take this personally, but just about anything on your list would be an entirely different class from what you're accustomed to with the Prelude. I liked your car a lot actually, but if you go from a Prelude to an A4 or a 9-5 (or anything even remotely in that class), you will probably be loving life behind the wheel. Granted, they're not super luxurious or anything, they are still leaps and bounds ahead of what the Prelude was.
If you don't mind my asking, what else are you looking for other than (preferably) AWD and good gas mileage. Are you looking for leather interior, or cloth? Sunroof/moonroof? Premium sound? I don't know what it is about a European cars interior, or if I'm just crazy, but I think the Japanese have a lot of catching up to do.
