I chose the twins twice because I loved the handling and race car seating position. I also loved the styling, size, weight and price of the vehicle (if purchased used). However, as I gained more...

I'm not a 4 door guy and I really don't need the extra cargo space. It will come in handy when I need to transport large items though. I wish they still made the coupe version of the GTI, but such is...

I agree. I do miss rwd and the amazing seating position, but for now, I prefer having a more comfortable ride and effortless acceleration with the quick shifts of the DSG. I'm waiting to see how...

This is a car that must be driven hard to get the most out of it. As Chris Harris said, it is a 10/10 car.

I noticed this immediately when getting on it and I was surprised by how it just kept pulling. My two previous turbo vehicles both had manuals and it did not feel that fast because you lost boost...

Yes.... without a doubt. However, if your sitting in traffic 90% of the time, I don't care how well the car handles, it is not going to be fun.

Pot holes didn't have a huge impact on my decision to get rid of the BRZ because the BRZ actually has thicker sidewalls than the GTI. It really came down to not having curvy roads nearby to exploit...

Tried To Give It Another Shot

I agree. The gearing puts you in the peak of the torque for the lower rev range. In first and second gear, the dip is not really felt as much because your in and out of it fairly quickly. However, if...

This almost happened to me back when I had my FRS. It was my first rwd vehicle and I thought I was Chris Harris in it. One early morning, on my way to work, I decided it was a good idea to turn off...

If it was that big of a discount, I would have bought the auto, ordered the manual and traded it in when the manual arrived. Aftermarket upgrades are not going to change the fact that it is an auto.

I'm curious to see if you would notice a difference in the suspension with the PP. I never drove a limited model without it.

I find that you have to shift pretty quickly from 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th depending on how high your RPMs are. You have to pretty much dump the clutch when going from 4th to 5th.
