omgitstheinternet posted:Took my hot hatch up in the mountains for a drive this weekend Nice car and all but you seem a little confused on the term "hot hatch". Your car would fall more into a coupe definition than it would as a hatchback.

Bovril Delight posted:Counterpoint No, it's not. There's more to a hatchback than just being able to raise the rear and put things in, it's also got a lot to do with the shape of the car. Look at the Focus, Fiesta, GTI (both VW and Peugeot), Renault 5 turbo, Lancia Delta, Mini, etc... Notice the similar body shape, the upright styling, the lack of slope on the rear window. These are all things common to hot hatches. BMW make hatches too, the 1 series is a great example, however the Z4 is not a hot hatch, it's been designed from the ground up as a 2 person sports car not a nimble, light, practical grocery getter that's been warmed over for the performance market. Vvvv. Fastback, hmm maybe, I'd still stick to coupe. The z4 is based off the cabriolet with a hard top added. Fastback I'd consider to be more of a sedan with a sloped back, so maybe an Audi A5 four door or the A7, or even the abomination that is the X6. I'd actually almost consider the original z3 clownshoe to be a hatchback, just the z4 has morphed into a Cayman contender so it's now a Coupe.

PabloBOOM posted:I think most of the DSG's advantage 0-60 is down to the launch control and the so-satisfying dual clutch gear changes. Definitely try one if you never have and aren't a stick shift die hard. Nothing can really top a good manual, but I also seriously love the DSG for my DD purposes. It does have some quirks without the typical torque converter, and it downshifting to a stop takes some getting used to. As someone who drives a lot for work in city traffic the DSG is a godsend. I briefly considered manual but really for 90% of the driving I do I really couldn't justify it. I've had a bit of the low speed shudders people talk about but it's no real worry, and never had a problem downshifting to a stop.

BraveUlysses posted:Any GTI owners with a DSG? Any regrets that you didn't get a manual? After 10000k's in my Skoda I'm still pretty happy with the DSG. I use my car for work so its only occasionally I wish I had a manual I reckon it'd be about 500km total so far.
