I can't speak for the Mk6/7, but when I test drove a Mk5 I really was unimpressed... Honestly other than feeling a bit quicker and having some turbo noise it felt so much like the Focus ZX3 I was driving at the time. I mean it was a 10-15 minute test drive and I wasn't driving the tires off, but still it didn't feel…

Is this why it's called a golf?

Yeah, seriously. I was expecting something more Jaguar E-type or Ferrari 250 style nose....

I love the way the C3 looks, but yeah the engines were pretty pitiful.

This all day. I'd even settle for a Cayman (S)

My cat was pretty much terrified of everything, especially when she was younger. Very affectionate, but definitely not one to defend anything lol.

If you watch the whole video it actually chases the dog around the car then runs back to the kid.... clearly something is wrong with this cat since it wasn't acting selfishly, but it was totally defending the kid.

Yes, but as a qualifier it should be a good automatic transmission.

Adaptive transmission logic I think only applies if you have an automatic right?

7.4 is still pretty far off from 8 seconds. Also 0-100kph is 0-62 mph, so either they were testing with an automatic(presumably without a launch control) or there is a shift between 60 and 62 mph. 6.0-6.2 might be a little over-estimated, but I provided 5 test from 3 reputable automotive publications that all did 0-60…

I could be wrong, but I think Dougs 360 actually is a stick, so the sport button probably doesn't do a whole lot on his.

For a car that is meant to be sporty they should add a "comfort" or "eco" button and leave it in "sports mode" as the standard config. I think that's the real solution here.

I think you should only have a sports mode if the car:

I don't know about the GT-86, but at least for the FRS and the BRZ in the US that doesn't seem to be the case.

I work in Irvine, and the car that used to be everywhere was probably this:

The "Subaru scion thing" definitely has a worse hp:weight ratio.

I didn't make any claims about my opinion on Tesla. Although congrats on winning a internet argument. You are definitely going places. Or maybe not since you seem to keep coming back to argue with "internet idiots/children".
