the hatch on the new Civics is way more of a fastback lookin thing than a practical hatch to me. already was true of the previous gen but it seems even more pronounced now. its like a poor man's 3-series GT

Agreed, the greenhouse looks too high too. I’m not in love with it but I can’t think of a better new option.

I would legit consider a 2019 V60 T6 or whatever the year/trim with the faster power train was.

I live in the PNW and never drive my car. Sometimes when I think of trading in the GTI for something better I always have to remind myself I drove a total of 2,000 miles this year and my car still looks like it came off the dealer lot.

If you decide to sell it, send me a PM - I'm in the neighborhood.

Can anyone chime in on historic resale value on Golf R vs Civic Type R? I'm eyeballing both the Mk8 and whatever the Civic is when they drop. The car markets are obviously skewed right now and it's anyone's guess, but anecdotes are helpful.

Can anyone speak to what the CTR is like in the snow? Looking at that and a Mk 7.5 Golf R, which I understand to be just Haldex - so I'm not sure how great it is either.

How's the FiST as a road trip car? It looks fun for around town but I'm curious about noise and other comfort in that interior.
