I’m already driving it. My 2018 Golf Sportwagen 4motion 6MT. Best car I’ve ever owned, one of the best cars ever made imo. MK7/7.5 Golf is GOAT status

I would also check on that kid to. anyone that would pull a gun out instinctively on someone dropping your daughter off at your house should be evaluated. My mom would have thanked the Uber dude and smacked the black off me if I ever did that.

If you were going too fast to avoid a stopped car, you were going too fast to avoid a pedestrian. I’m good with this one.

There’s definitely an aspect of rage bait going.

Just feels all rage baitey to me. No one can actually be this stupid. Right?

2024 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback with 2.0 NA engine and 6 speed manual. I just picked the modern equivalent of the last car I had that went over 250k (a 1993 honda civic Si hatch-D16 with 5 speed manual). They look pretty good and just work. That’s the beauty of low trim economy cars.

Yup. Bought my GTI because it has a manual. I will not buy one without. 

The Golf R station wagon. Never understood why VW never made the effort. This thing would have sold like hot cakes. I would have definitely bought one

They’re probably hoping for some of the “near luxury” segment - the one where Buick and Acura are included in. A few years ago I’d have thrown in Volvo, Saab and Mercury but Saab and Mercury are gone and Volvo seems to have moved upmarket. That being said - Mazda strikes me as most similar to VW, with buyers across…

I think the bigger issue at hand is the chicken tax making these vans more expensive than they need to be and/or harder to import. I may be an idiot, but it seems to me that being the only game in town for a small van would be very lucrative. And unlike pickups (where the small ones aren’t really that much smaller…

A moose bit my sister once.

You must be one of those Tesla fanboys that owns the stock but not the car. I own a Model 3 and if you did, you’d know how easy it is for this to happen. The car requires a significant amount of torque on the steering wheel to exit out of autosteer/FSD. After that it does back to steering normally. So you have to be…

I’m of the opinion we hit our peak about 20-25 years ago as far as the sweet spot between tech, reliability, driver engagement, and safety are concerned. Older cars (think pre-90's) were not nearly as safe or reliable, and it seems newer cars (and this is strictly my opinion) try to “outsmart” their drivers and keep…

I love love love my ‘19 Golf Sportwagen 6MT, as I’ve mentioned many times. In May of our year of COVID, I did (deep breath): is38/MST intake/Unitronic tune/Koni SAs/Golf R springs/Golf R rear bar/S3 short shift linkage/312mm front brakes/Audi TTRS clutch/18" Pretoria wheels/Michelin Pilot 4S. I added an Integrated…

What!? Are you trying to tempt the wrath of the whatever high atop the thing!..?!

It sounds like you understand that sometimes the buyer is not a fault(5~10%) but you think that the media is not showing enough “Tough love.” You want Tom to outright say these buyers have been stupid, and now they are crying for someone to fix it. What Tom has said is that if people instead of taking what they are…

When you have an administration that has to take a person’s OPINION and graft the data to create a policy to reflect that idiot’s opinion, this is what you have.
