SlvrTarantula has a little shameless behaviour in the past
A Volvo s70

The T5 (Turbo) models are still very affordable on insurance. I pay less for my T5 then I do for my Mitsubishi non-turbo.

Why dont you just stick with a normal 1.8T A4. Is one of the the best all-round cars and you can easily upgrade them. Adding a turbo to a non-turbo car can start causing lots of problems. On the 1.8T A4 you can even change the turbo in less than 2h in your own garage.

E36 or E46 3 series, older gen IS300 (my pick), older gen G35s, of course, all depends on your budget too...

i agree though, A4 is the best starting platform, but since you don't want a turbo, E46 328 shouldn't break the bank by now

I have been looking at the audi A4, just wondering what insurance will think of the car.

A4's are nice cars, but if you're going to look maintenance, insurance and live with a power adder, you could consider an srt 4 as well.

lol An SRT-4 isn't exactly a regular Neon, its actually a credible car. And you said you were looking at a Jetta, but wanted something cheap to repair? Well unfortunately V-dubs aren't cheap to fix. I've owned two and it sucks, but obviously if you can find aftermarket it'll cushion the blow a bit
