Buying a new Audi...Ideas?

Hello all,

I am looking at buying my first Audi. I am looking at either the 2003 3.0 with 58,000 or the 2004 2.7T with 43,000. I am also considering a 2003 3.0 with 59000. I love the AWD option as I live in the midwest + handeling. I have been doing some reading here since I found this forum and it seems like both have +'s and -'s, however none really address the main reason I am buying this car. ATM I need something that is sporty, safe, reliable, and fun to drive AND gets good gas millage. My SUV currently gets about 15mpg on the highway so the 25 to 27mpg is a great upgrade. I also wanted a bit of a bigger car so I can fit my dog kennel in the back for weekend trips. I plan on drving about 400 miles per week. I don't plan on doing any performance mods, other then maybe a filter or other little things, though I have found an RS bodykit that I love the look of. I also plan on keeping this car for about 4 years or so till I can buy a 2 year old diesel Audi in 2010 or 11.

So, which one do you guys think is the best option for my usage? If I go with the 3.0's I'm going to insist they do the TB and waterpump replacement so I don't have to worry about that since they are at the 60k range, and 70k will be coming fast at 400 miles / week. I also plan to get an extended warranty to cover me for 2 years of replacements as it sounds like they my need a good amount of stuff replaced depending how they were driven by the previous owners (which I have no way of knowing).

Thanks for the help, and I can't wait to get one!
