Sorry to hear all that Donald. If i were you i would stick with the R, you have new components which is great, although somewhat frustrating at the time. Id say unless the same thing keeps failing keep it. The accidents suck, but hey your just unlucky there, could happen to any of us. I think Junga felt the same at one stage when a list of probs all happened at once, it happens. You could go see a priest and get it blessed etc chuck some holy water on the R....LOL
If you really did feel the urge to change then i would say BMW 135i coupe or 335i coupe or sedan if family requires the extra doors, or maybe Audi S3 as you could hang for the 5dr if needed also, guess it depends on your variables, manual or auto, 3dr or 5dr, 2wd or awd, the $$$$$etc etc Hey you could always grab a chipped GTI LOL
Hope it all works out:thumbsup:
