The new yellow / green GTI color is pretty interesting as well.

Woah I didn’t know the MK8’s were already showing up. I love that moon-whatever grey.

The interior though :(

What’s the next step “up” from a GTI/R? I can get nearly what I paid for my 17 for trade in and something a touch larger would be nice now that the kid is here. What’s that sporty Audi sedan folks like?

The Golf R and the Audi S3 are basically the same car with different styling. You're not going to get a significant increase in space going from a GTI to an S3. Also worth noting the Golf R and S3/RS3 have the same FWD based Haldex AWD vs. the higher model Audis that all have the RWD biased quattro setup.

Personally, when I wanted to step up from my Focus ST I ended up in a B8 Audi S4 (2014) which before prices went crazy this year could be had in the mid-high 20s with lowish miles. Now they're mid 30s though. But it feels like a tremendous amount of car for the money and I've been very happy with it. I've got over 400hp in a car that doesn't have boy racer vibes

God I wish they hadn’t gotten stupid with the interior controls, otherwise I’d totally go get a R.

I was gonna get the 22 GTI until I saw people using the head unit in the reviews. Touch controls for volume are a deal breaker, no exceptions.

Was legit also looking at the new Rs since we had a brand new 2013 that was great to us. The interior controls completely obliterated it from possibility though. Just garbage.

Bought a Volvo wagon instead :v:

I don't think you can even just buy an R, the dealer I talked to said they were all reserved months ago, and even the GTIs get sold before they hit the lot. But yeah, I agree the interior is a deal breaker anyway.

Reminds me of when I had a Mustang, you started noticing all the people putting 3.7L badges on their V6’s.

and today (yesterday?) some dude in his own FiST, with a bunch of aftermarket stuff and some OZs on it, pulled up next to me in a parking lot, wordlessly shot me a thumbs up, and then drove away

In the mid 90s I helped open a coffee shop, and in exchange for a month worth of demo and construction the owners offered me the choice of either an 85 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser wagon in two tone brown or a tan 83 Rabbit. I chose the Rabbit because it was way more fun to drive, but part of me always regrets not going with the wagon.

Wagons, hatches, both are good

The Pontiac Vibe GT, a classic Toyota, was classed as a wagon. It’s all about perspective, man.

Hey we've got a wagon:



Debatable if its 'hot' or not but it does have more power than our 2013 Golf R and since there are what, two? One? Hot wagons you can even get in the USA I'd argue that a not-lifted, not-plastic-cladded wagon of any kind counts. ESPECIALLY if its red :colbert:

Man, all we had growing up were wagon after wagon, and this volvo is just making me realize how much I miss seeing wagons.


Ugh, that looks so much better than a crossover it hurts.
