I would never take it over a coupe. But people were very excited when the convertible first appeared.

That's probably 29.5 %. But give me some more time to calculate...

Great suggestion! Jalopnik should make a self-aware QOTD "Show us the posts on which we were totally proven wrong."

That's definitely gonna happen. I am exactly 30 per cent sure.

Must be the BRZ/FT-86 Convertible...

Wow. That's supercool. I expected it to be just 5 years away though...

Well I usually tend to find them. Driving on weekends and further north certainly helps though... The Autobahn is usually less travelled here but traffic is going slower. In certain southern regions the Autobahn is packed but everybody is driving crazy fast (for the circumstances). It definitely differs from North to…

I just looked it up. It's still around 60 per cent unrestricted Autobahn left. I honestly can't fathom how people survive miles and miles of 70 mph. Germany isn't that big of a country but it gets big when you have to creep...

You literally unintentionally described the Škoda Citigo. 940kg, 44kW, 10.500 €. No unnecessary crap, plastic everywhere.

Ok. Fair point.

Sounds like a Volt with a fancy chassis, 2 doors, and 3 cylinders.

In my mind even better:

self-explanatory.

You leave at 4:30 pm on Fridays in an RS5? What's your job? I want it. Seriously.

If you have to commute 100 mi/day you could as well do it in something you enjoy and adore not caring for crappy shitboxes or boring automatics that make you fall asleep twice every mile.

Failing the road test is pretty common in Germany. Some people say they let you fail because it's practically a money making machine. They will pick on you because you didn't check your blind spot long enough (turning your head .5 secs instead of 1.5...) and that's it.

That's not very convincing indeed. How do you prove that you had three years of driving with a family member? In Germany you can have theoretical + 20h with an instructor + practical test at the age of 17. And afterwards (!) you can drive with a family member until you reach the age of 18.

What kind of driver's ed do the have?

ahh ok. Because I think it's really hard to determine the demographic of those cars. The Tesla might be a bit easier because of its higher price. But the (early) Prius and Volt seemed to appeal to people that came from much more expensive cars. Would be interesting to know how those buyers relate to those who are…

Arsehole.
