I would cross shop the N with the CTR also, and the Golf R (which I’ve spent a lot of time in). I know almost without a doubt the N wouldn’t win that comparison for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'd certainly test drive the VN but as much as I didn't really care for the CTR I'd be surprised if I'd take a VN over it. All those 300ish HP cars are just too fast.. that's why I have a fleet of slow 86s. And a slightly more than 300HP Camaro but whatever.

It's a VW hot economy car, speed costs money.

I test drove a 2021 DCT N today. My next car will either be the N or 202x BRZ (upgrading from my 2014 limited)
The sales man insisted on going along for the ride, I wouldn't have abused it anyways, and I think he wanted me to floor it more than I did. I was a bit underwhelmed...and that may have something to do with not flooring it, seeing its full capability and only being on the road for 15 minutes. I didn't find the power to be a night and day difference and i find the driving ergonomics to be far better in the BRZ. The tech in the N is far better, but that wouldn't be the biggest selling point for me. I didn't hate the drive, but i wasn't in love....choosing between the 2022 BRZ and a 2022 N will be challenging, but right now i am leaning more towards another BRZ. Though....I don't love the exterior changes, I still prefer 2017+ aesthetics. The wife lived the N though...mostly due to more interior space, less road feel and it's not as loud as my BRZ (JDL header and perrin CB) Last edited by dtrop; 12-12-2020 at 12:54 PM. Reason: add |

I agree that it is expensive, but it would be relative to what Subaru and Toyota price the next gen at. |

Since buying my BRZ in 2014, I have since bought a house. Car mods are no longer on my list.
