You made me want one when you compared it to a 944 (my first car). Much to think about.

I may be the minority, but I hate that the black bits on the front bumper don’t do anything. It’s a sports car... they’re supposed to do something!

What would make me buy this over a gently used Volvo S or V60 Polestar? I’ve never driven a Golf R, but I HAVE driven a V60 Polestar... and they are amazing.

Something something Toyota drivers.

Their target buyer is the person who wants a BMW but without the BMW reliability issues.

The cover photo reminded me of something I miss in all modern sports cars... body roll.

Ugh.

I could care less about the color. What bothers me is when the whole light flashes when clearly it should be only one portion should blink.

While I applaud Mercedes efforts to sell more wagons, I think I’d rather have Volvos offering.

With looks being subjective and all that, you’re allowed to have your own opinion. But aside from the front, the wagon looks nothing like a XC90.

I don’t know. With my Zip code on Ford’s website, the Fiesta ST starts at $20,345, the Nissan is $21,245, and the Focus ST starts at $24,425. Is $3,180 worth the additional sportiness and additional 62 horsepower of the focus? Or is the $900 savings you’d have with the Fiesta worth an additional 12 horsepower and more…

Jeep. I understand that this is not meant to be a definitive list, but when someone says classic 4x4, Jeep immediately comes to mind.

Perhaps having the best warranty out there might weigh pretty heavily on buyers.

Excuse my ignorance, but... someone made a huge omission.

The Veloster and Fiesta ST might be stretches, but the Focus ST and GTI are certainly not. The rear space in the Focus ST (23.3 cubic ft) and the GTI (22.8 cublic ft) are both larger than the Sentra by a considerable amount.

...for buyers who want all the attributes of traditional compact sedans but also desire some serious turbo performance...it’s truly the complete package for compact car buyers and enthusiasts alike.

Your comparison to a minivan from 2005 to a car with AWD, modern safety tech and 325 is certainly apples to oranges.

Is that MPG good? No. But you don’t buy a car with those features for great mileage. Buy the Hybrid if you want that.

Your 11-year old minivan didn’t have 325hp, AWD, and wasn’t laden with a million tons of safety shit, either. Apples and oranges.

Rage problem. That’s what this is.

I’m here with you. I love to work on my own car, but I also love higher home values... that’s where garages come in.
