do people in the snow belt even buy RWD cars?

id rather have a manual though knowing how hard it is to change the clutch on an Evora that might make me lean toward the auto. Im curious to see the performance of each. the 4 might not be too far off due to lower weight and more low rpm torque. Id also like to see how tunable each is since it can vary a lot between…

IMO this list if missing the #1 car im most excited about. The Lotus Emira

Strange not posting pictures of the car. so here you go

young people do like cars that are more fun to drive and look less like shrunken minivans

The bolt could be so much better.  If they made it RWD instead of FWD that would make it a lot more fun.  Then shape it like a good looking hatch much like a GTI instead of a shrunken mini-van.  Just do that and change nothing else and its suddenly a car people would want

Porsche should make a 2dr 2+2 taycan.
maybe call it the 928-can

is the narrator of this video Dewey all grown up.

yeah this is likely the answer

I second the wagon suggestion though the ones with AWD like the alltrack dont get great mileage. GTI on the other hand get incredible mileage and have the same passenger space but less cargo space.

Id add to the list replacing sparkplugs on a flat engine like a Subaru WRX with its flat 4.
Or on the GTI replacing the air filter is not hard but annoying since you dont undo a clip but rather have to unscrew 7 screws with a special tool you may not have

scrolled through all the posts and searched for your name and no such post appears

overall the manuals do get better mileage than the DSG because you have more options on how you can drive them and that helps

yes checked with paper. i once drove from houston to austin and got 38.5 mpg and was not going slow. Overall the computer was 0.5-1mpg better than paper calculations for my car

yes duh.  and the GTI is lighter and also has a more efficient engine with more modern tech

GTI is underrated the WRX is overrated. When i owned a 2002 no matter how i drove it it could not get better than 24mpg. driving the GTI the same way would get massively higher than its rated mpgs

This is one of the reasons in 2016 i got a GTI. one of the many. But the WRX is known for getting even worse mileage than its rated at and the GTI can consistently get better. Mine with a tune making 330hp was capable on getting 39mpg on the way to work with traffic

yeah for me a fat D pilar makes a car look muscular and solid.
like the difference between these two

Personally i thing it would look more muscular if that rear window were wrapped in body color. but really liking the design
