I have to agree, at least about the soft ride. My wife's car is a LS460, and while it's comfortable, I don't like driving it. I think the vette's ride and feel is much more comfortable. Unless the road is really rough, the ride is actually pretty nice... for a performance car. In comparison, the Boxster I used to have was a great car, but the ride was a bit choppy.

I'd love to have an Audi S6. I had an A6 Quattro and loved it. The S6 is too much coin new, and it's hard to find a good used one.

Being tall has saved me the cost of a Boxster, or a Miata for that matter.. Just can't get the legs

unfolded. The little Jetta, on the other hand, has all the leg room in the world.

Have you ever sat in a Boxster? It might surprise you.

Oh, and if I expand the carmax search out to 500 miles, there's *1* S6 available, and it's in VA. Titled new in FL, then records have it in CA before ending up in VA. Uh, no thanks.

Yeah, I've sat in both the Boxster and the Miata. Too small.

The Audi you found was the same one I found on the way Dulles airport.
