a friend is looking of a 4 door car in the price range of $40,000 - $43,000. what would you suggest??

he is quite the audi guy... he's considering an '07 audi a4 "s-line". he also prefers a manual tranny. thoughts??

his current cars... cayman s, audi s4 (older body), audi tt (dsg trans)... the tt is the car which is being replaced...

thanks for any input. i'm looking to give him some choices...
