F*ck that is one ugly son of a bitch.

The Volkswagen dealership here in Cary, NC will only offer the leasing discount ($7500) on a lease period of 24 months. 36 or 48 months, no dice. So I walked. May try the dealership in Durham this afternoon.

Also it’s a cat. Most cars are social creatures like dogs, and aren’t included in as many activities as dogs usually are.

Are you freaking kidding me? Most dogs would be miserable if they never went anywhere beyond walking distance of their home. Because that would mean they’re separated even more from their owner.

You’ve got some serious financial problems if that’s all it takes to make you stray from putting what’s recommended into what is likely one of your most expensive possessions.

LOL, alarmist view much?

I loved the movie, highly entertaining and fun to watch.

Pretty sure they didn’t sell 125k AWD models. And either way, in a 1992 issue of Car and Driver their as tested price of a TSi AWD was $20,972, so I highly doubt they were $13k a mere 2 years earlier.

I’m pretty sure I’d rather have the DSM instead of a 15 year old Boxster.

I agree that it would be preferable for that LSD to be a factory option, but no it’s dealer installed. And yes, you can roll it up into the upfront cost of the car and finance it. You can do the same with the available ECU reflash that gives the engine more power (by Ford).

Gotta do that pedal dance, which unfortunately (at least IMO) also disables ABS. SMH!

it’s horrible.

Nah. The Volvo one is ESPECIALLY bad. It shuts the engine off way way too much. Inching forward to a stop sign behind several cars - the feature will shut off the car every time you briefly stop, as you move forward one car length at a time. My parents’ new XC60 has it and it drove me crazy. Hell it shut off the…

You can’t start the car with Sport mode enabled because Fiat didn’t EPA fuel certify the car in that mode. That’s 100% why you can’t do it. (and it sucks).

Not if you buy a manual transmission. Literally no cars with manual transmissions are offered with any of that safety tech.

Subaru BRZ

The FoST has the brake based “LSD” (which we both probably agree is crap, esp on a track) but a Quiafe LSD is a dealer installed option (i.e. retains factory warranty).

No, not really. And inserting a video of a jackass doesn’t bolster that position.

well...have you bothered looking at it’s competition?

Umm, how about every Civic Si since 2006?
