I sold my 04 RSX Type-S about 6k miles after that. Nothing wrong with the car at all other than rock chips and paint starting to fade on the roof, ok and a couple small rust spots that were starting to form. Ok, and it probably needed new shocks and struts.... But that was it, I swear! I miss that car....

You got #1 correct and that's all that matters.

I was going to post this as well. I don't care if they call it the GT, Spec B, or STI. Just give it the full STI powertrain, drivetrain and a manual and call it good.

Tale Spin was the shit!

It's just missing a roof rack and kayak carrier and hitch extension/carrier to fit my 14ft kayak, but other than that it's got everything else.

There's nothing wrong with the DCT, it's just I'd rather pay $2k less for a manual transmission and get the S3 at a discount at the expense of shifting gears myself which I've been doing for the last 10 years anyways......

Please Please Please let this come to the U.S. I will high tail it to the nearest VW dealer to order one of these.

When I drive around in my friend's C6 ZO6 and my other friend's ZL1, it seems pretty manageable to daily drive unless you get on it, or drive in inclement weather. Both of them have another car for their daily driving and winter driving. Do they have traction issues when pushing it hard? Definitely. Especially in the…

While I largely agree, I disagree in certain cases.

Depends on WHAT used car you're trying to get. I bought a WRX new because I couldn't find any used WRXs or STIs with low enough miles or in stock condition. Then the ones that were in my price range, I could spend $5k more and get a brand new car vs a used car which…

I thought the same initially, but the impact and blast radius of modern munitions are meant to be more precise and directed and by the looks of it, if there was anyone in that building, there's a very high chance they would have been killed if not by the first JDAM, but by the second.

I completely agree because I posted something similar. Pretty much any warplane in the U.S' arsenal could have carried out the same mission.

There probably wasn't even anyone there......

So basically the F-22 was used to drop two JDAMs on an ISIS compound? Great job U.S. You proved that the F-22 can do what any other war plane in our arsenal could also do. It seems to me that this was more of a political move rather than being strategic.

Makes sense!

I'd still buy an AWD Golf SportWagen over the Alltrack. I personally don't have a need for a raised Wagon personally. However, more options are always a good thing.

"It's a Volkswagen Golf wagon with permanent all-wheel drive...."

"It also comes with 4MOTION all-wheel drive, which decouples the rear axle in order to save fuel until the point when you need extra traction, in which case it can send nearly 100% of the torque to the rear. "

So it's their part time Haldex based AWD…

Before I got my own first car, I was driving my parent's 94 Chevy Lumina APV....

I'm highly considering a used Transit Connect Titanium Wagon once my wife plops out a couple kids. The only downside I've read is that since they are intended more for commercial use, they're not as comfortable and something you want to drive every day. But hey the interior is going to get trashed by the little rug…

But is the 6spd DSG built to handle 400hp+ in its stock configuration? At a certain power level wouldn't upgrades have to be done regardless? I imagine they would also be more expensive as well.

I understand the advantages of a DSG, but it's usually the extra upfront cost that I prefer to avoid if it can be had for a…

What? We don't get a manual? I thought we were. :(

I do agree that this car looks really great in person. I was waiting to have dinner with a friend one evening and there was a new S3 was parked across the street. It doesn't scream look at me, but the changes between the S3 and a standard A3 are just subtle enough to…
