i wouldnt want the wife to be driving a really fast RWD car though especially in the wet, thats the main problem for me with BMW

I'd have no issue with that TBH - I've always been impressed with the traction control and stability systems in BMs.

The ones I've driven have never anything but very surefooted, even with wet conditions.

WOW. that is one impressive build thread.

Out of that list, I'd be looking at the Volvo or Mazda. I was deeply unimpressed with the S3 and found it a bit lacking in excitement to drive. Volvo has the most comfortable seats I think I've ever sat in with fairly soft suspension and from what I recall the dash was a bit naff. Went very well though

Maybe you could get her some driver training, rather than buying a boring car?
