I have a Mk8 R 6MT and had Mk7 and Mk7.5 GTIs. Anyone saying they’d rather have a Mk7 is Bilal levels of high. Drive both, it’s not close. User interface is fine, I traded my Mk7.5 in, drove off in...

Lexus has been around long enough that it sure seems like they should have developed a design language by now. That car could be from any brand.

Funny, I’d have gladly paid extra to get cloth in my car. Very few modern cars have leather that resembles anything from a cow anyway.

Yeah, the RS3 with the Magna rear diffs does quite well on track. Also not sure I’d call it a straight line car, stock they’re not really that quick.

Plastic raw material is cheaper than recycled material, so aside from green cred, there’s no incentive to use it.

No car with under 100hp would ever sell well here. I drove a Smart Formore from Frankfurt to Prague. That was not the ideal way to do that. Pretty drive, lousy car.

Do you enjoy being wrong? The R and R32 (outside of the DSG only Mk5) are among the best of any non exotic. In 2020 when both cars were out of production, Rs were up quite a bit more than CTRs. Now...

The Golf R also has excellent value retention and they cost the same new. I'm not sure I'd say it's more fun either, it's a much larger car with less power, less tuning potential and they tend to get...

True of the 8V, but the 8Y doesn’t use Haldex, but instead the newer Magna torque vectoring rear diffs. They do continue to offer the reverse staggered tires, but they appear to be standard now.

Yep, you can either unplug it or disable it with OBD11 or VCDS. It’s actually a little buzzer fitted to the bottom edge of the windshield.

I have one and it’s a great car. I can’t imagine choosing the 228i over one, but then I’m a manual only buyer, so most BMWs aren’t on my radar.
