Go hypothetical car shopping and complain about FP. Huzzah! :D
‘We’re going to find the perfect car for the “New” average commenter on FP.
Requirements.
- Must have a zero to 60 time of under 4.5 seconds. And that is literally the only performance metric that matters.
- Must be AWD, because anything that’s not AWD can’t be taken as a serious performance car. And again, by performance car all we mean is sub 4.5 second zero to sixty.
- Absolutely no hard plastics in the interior for cars worth more than 40k. Even the backside of the fuse box cover must have hand stitched alcantara on it. For car’s under 40k seats, dash, and door cards must all be some kind of premium material, not a spot of cloth, plastic, or rubber on any of them! The headliner and backside of the fuse box cover are the only places cheap materials are acceptable.
-Must ideally be a hybrid or EV
- Must have 4/5 doors, being a hatch or wagon.
- Must have bold, but non offensive styling. We can’t have something as boring as the SS, but god forbid it takes risks like the Juke.
I think that’s all for now. Have fun finding this unicorn!
Additional challenge: Must weight less than 3,000lbs. Since the Panamera’s pretty much won already.

Porsche Panamera Hybrid Sport Turismo. 4.6 seconds to sixty is close enough.
EDIT: Nevermind, there’s a Turbo S E-Hybrid or whatever. That’ll do.

Damn, that’s way closer than I though anyone would get.

I have two very simple requests, but apparently they’re impossible for most car companies: 1) if I choose brown leather, I’d at least have the option of having a dash that isn’t black. 2) I’d like a performance trim car where I can have wood trim instead of plastic or fucking carbon fiber (I’m looking right at you Jag; you can fuck right off with that XJR in carbon or piano trim bullshit).

Guess we got to let FP know what their new favorite car is now! :p

By the way, you forgot that this car should weigh no more than 2,000 pounds. Anything more is bloated and fat.

You can have the Cayman/BoxsterS with a wood dash and trim! I know because that’s how I specd mine when someone posted the buider thingy.

We’ve at least got to give people a chance in finding it!
I’ll add it since the Porsche Panamera pretty much fits the current requirements.

Porsche and Mercedes (they offer a beautiful brown dash with tan interior) are basically the only two companies that get this right.

Just because you have a family of 8 doesn’t mean you can’t use a Miata as your only car.
You’re requirements are meaningless. All Front-pagers must bow down before the one and only, the Miata, the messiah, that fulfills all driving requirements at all times for it is truly the answer!
Hallelujah!

Guess I should be faster to reply. The Golf GTE checks most boxes, nice interior, hybrid, hatchback... 0-60 is around 6.3 according to some owners

The true answer is a three car garage of Miata, Integra, and El Camino.

You can get a brown-tan-wood combination with Jaguar and BMW too

I’d like to replace the El Camino with a Subaru Baja. Please sir

Nah, because the Integra is your four seater and you need something with more than 4 cylinders!
Although you could sub the baja for the Integra and then put any old muscle car in for the El Camino.

Not on R-spec Jags, although you can probably custom order it if you have the money.

You can consolidate further with a Miatamino...

This Time Attack Subaru WRX STI is close enough.
AWD, meets your performance targets, probably under 3000 lbs, not a hybrid, doesn’t meet your hatch requirements, does have a luxurious alcantara dash.

I thought Miata, E30 and Land Rover would cover more bases - both work though.
