My initial list is M3,S4,and Type R.

More things to look at? Reasons why you would choose 1 over the other please as well.

Type R should be removed assuming you mean Civic - it's a quick trolley not in the same league as an M3.

Would be a lot newer than a M3 for a similar price.The Type R is more of a whim,i know the S4 and M3 will blow it away but i just like it.Insurance isnt a issue as we get a real good deal through work [Redbull F1] and i just want something that wont look out of place in the car park.
 
How is an Impreza too much effort yet a Civic Type R not. Once delivers effortless turbocharged shove in any gear at any speed, the other is slow unless you cane it to within an inch of its life.
 
Well if im truthfull ive never driven the Type R but the Scooby was hardwork.I am a bit lazy and used to the semi auto of my Alfa.
 
Definitely forget the Type-R then, it's a car that requires constant effort to extract the performance from.
 
I can't think of anything EASIER to drive than a high powered 4WD rally rep.

You just press the laughing gas and look through the big sheet of glass in front of you at the pretty pictures. Middle pedal makes the pictures move slower.
 
Yes and no,Mrs will inherit the Alfa.I looked at the Brera 3.2V6 and the M3 on the same day.couldnt decide which i liked more.
 
I dont like the look of either of those, i test drove a full blown 450 bhp Subaru and was astounded but in day to day use and travelling the 40 mile a day round trip it seemed like it would be hardwork.Beautiful car but to much effort.

How could you be so wrong!? It is NOT beautiful, but it IS effortless to drive fast. 450bhp might be a lag monster though couldn't comment, but in the low 300's they pick up well.
