Well I honestly never thought any of the mundane nth hand cars I have owned
would ever add anything to this discussion,
but,
I owned a 'G'-reg Audi 100 Avant with the i5 2.3L engine,
134hp of smooth easy power,
purchased to easily transport 4 adults plus child in child seat
plus all the 'stuff' you need when you have a first child.
This US-focussed wiki suggest the 2.3 and the i5 2.2 could easily,
(turbo & 20v head) could get to 217hp.
The same i5 engine in the 2.2 R5 20vT 232kW (RS2) version gave 311hp
in the RS2 Avant
