Totally different kind of car though; four doors, all wheel drive, not great on fuel consumption.
As Tcoat already stated; watch out for "the grass is greener" mentallity. It's an expensive ideology (a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy) to cave in to.

The Grass is Greener Syndrome is a real thing and we have seen go wrong it many times on here (for both people coming to or leaving the 86).
Too lazy to pull the text book but a 10 second Google search pulled this piece of wisdom that sums up the whole "but maybe that car is what I want" mentality perfectly:
"This is where the element of fantasy comes in, and with the fantasy comes projection. We’re going to want what we don’t have, and
there’s a fantasy that we’ll get what we don’t have, and that the parts that we’re currently happy with won’t be sacrificed in this change. However, what ends up happening is that after the “honeymoon phase” of making the change, we find ourselves
wanting to flip to the other side of the fence again because we discover that there are other things that we don’t have, and because the novelty of the change wears off. It ends up being true, that we always want what we don’t have, even if we’ve already jumped the fence several times."
