I had a 2002 Audi S8, it was a simply fantastic car. Incredibly well made, easy to work on, and very reliable. Incredible AWD system. With it being a very expensive car when new, they engineered out many go the annoying little issues that the cheaper cars suffer from. The other models seem to be very hit or miss, but none of them are reliable when compared to the Subaru. With that said, I would go Audi all day long over BMW. Audis have vastly better interior materials and assembly, BMWs simply fall apart over time. In the 535 the HPFP is a huge issue, definitely do some research there.

The WRX is great, but also consider the Legacy GT and Forester XT. Same basic goodness in a more adult package. I had a lightly modified 2005 Legacy GT wagon that was a rocket.
