On occasion, I would simply let my car do the talking when my friends and I approach a turnpike. :thumbsup:


On a more serious note, I've given up trying to reason with people like that anymore. The average consumer has been trained to shop with a one-dimension focus. For example, the only important thing in a car is its horsepower and 0-60 specs. Another good one is how a TV is automatically good if it has 1080p display and at least 60 Hz refresh rate.

This is hilarious. In the end it comes to a different strokes topic but I really feel like people don't get the purity in a low hp, light weight, RWD car.

To claim that the GTI weighs less is complete negligence. A quick google search says they weight at least 3113 lbs and has 200hp....just like a twin.

Maybe he was referring to the Turbo AWD version BRZ.

fang_gt86 03-27-2015 04:47 PM

Here's what everybody's been saying about the 86.

Daily beater for average Joe - "The car is perfect, affordable good looking coupe with good MPG"

Weekend track & enthusiast Joe - "The car is perfect, well balanced, nimble but need 30 more HP and better tires. Time for some minor mods"

Hardcore Joe - "Only thing I like about this car is the chassis. Everything else has to go. I'm going FI, LSX or 2JZ swap!"

Others - "Hmm what so special about it? It's just another entry-level sports car"

dirtymax 03-27-2015 04:48 PM

mmmm......I do love me some VW electrical gremlins to go with all that super duper handling

I don't care for car opinions from people who more likely than not--
1. have never seen redline.
2. can't drive manual transmission.
3. take it to the dealer for all maintenance/repairs for the life of the car.
4. have never changed their own oil, air filter, battery, or a light bulb.
5. have NEVER opened their hood. Ask them to do it,, you'll be surprised how long it takes for them to find the hood release or hood latch.

I am sad to say that I met all of these before I bought my twin.

EDITED:
Actually I fit none since I won't take it there for the life of the car. YAY

On another note - gonna go stalk Koa on facebook now :party0030:

How the TV industry is moving towards gimmicks instead of actually improving picture quality infuriates me to no end. The idiot consumers looking at buzz words like LED, 3D, Smart, etc.. are the worst. At least OLEDS are coming.

Well to get back on topic. I think the GTI is a great car and probably works better for 90% of people that want a sporty entry level car. The other 10% of people who value handling/fun over all else know how special this car is. I'm still concerned about when I eventually need to replace it. If there will be a newer model or if I need to pony up the money for a porsche.

So I just bought a TV on black friday sale. Tell me if I'm an idiot. yeah 1080p yeah 60hz yeah smart. for $500. Idk about you but the smart buzzword got me - I can stream things from my phone and compter quite easily. But I guess it can be had for $25 Chromecast...

Not to be an ass but your punctuation could use some work as well. :bonk:

you don't own the 2015 GTI which is what we are talking about.. to be fair, the new gen got a huge upgrade from earlier mk gen

Pkush 03-27-2015 05:20 PM

Koa you're confusing me.

GTI = FWD 210 hp
Golf R = AWD (auto only) 292 HP.

If I'm as much of an ass as most of you guys that means I'm pregnant right away? I'm being too nice...

I've never understood that. Why would I want a smart tv? My computer, my receiver, my chromecast, my phone, my ipad, my xbox, can all stream media and get Netflix and whatever else. I don't want to be cut off in the middle of something because my tv has to update its apps. It's a display device; it doesn't need any apps.

Mine doesn't update anything. At least not in the last 6 months did it ever need to update anything. Maybe it's not smart enough:iono:

Guess Canada gets a headstart?

Article from 3 hours ago for example:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/volkswag...f-r-1427477683

"In the interests of a fully immersive European drive, VW arranged for a Golf R with the optional six-speed manual transmission (available late summer in the U.S.). "

Deliveries are not until mid summer for either model here in Canada, but both were available from the get go.

And these are the kinda ppl that go around screaming that certain cars (namely the Twins) need more HP...

Ironically enough mine has not updated in months either then I look up from reading grams post and wham there it is!!

Simplicity 03-27-2015 09:09 PM

I remembered when I first bought my frs then told my friends about it, and they shitted on me saying I should've got the brz instead because it was faster. I told them they're the same shit and next thing you know, they pulled out their phone, go on youtube and watched a frs vs brz video to see who finishes first so they can determine which car is better... I was just laughing my ass off at their dumba**es lol

The FRS must be faster because we are 8.6 ounces lighter due to not having the trunk lid liner!

Nope. The fancier fender garnish resistance cancels out the mustache.


Now mind you the Scion emblems weigh 1/4 ounce more each so the FRS loses a bit of it's advantage there.
