Default help me decide! give your input on my next car

okay to get this out of the way, dont flame please. im a 17 yr old that works at best buy so telling me how stupid and slow hondas are is indistutable, but honestly theyre reliable and practical so keep flaming to yourself... but anywayy hopefully in a month or 2 ill have 6000-7000$ to spend on a car. this is the part where you give me ideas on what to get. my current thoughts are:

*98-01 audi a4 2.8 quattro (i know sounds really pricey but ive heard they can be reliable and this is like my dream choice right now)
*WRANGLERRR i was obsessed with them a couple months back that kinda died down but theyre still sweet
*some honda.. probably civic or prelude
*i dont know much about the nissans but i do like them... like the older RWD stuff
*focus zx3 or svt..i sorta like them and i really want a hatch or some sortof nice trunk because of the amount of audio i have to work with considering my discount at work

umm so yeah, if you have input, experience with the cars ^^, or new advice and ideas please let me know! and you might wanna know:

1: im really not gonna do any mods probably..
2: its my dd so dont tell me i should use all my money to get something that needs to be pampered or repaired daily
3: id like a nice ride (like handling and comfort..hence the audi

so let me know! i appreciate the opinions

big no on focus.

if you want something reliable look for a 00-01 sentra SE. they come with an sr20de, if you get the PP model you'll also have a LSD. they're fun, and damn near guaranteed to last 250k..

or a civic. lol

i'd get a honda or if you can get a wrangler.

don't get a 2.8 a4 quattro. there is nothing that nice about them inside or out. it looks like a fucking jetta and drives like one as well (aside from the quattro).
