So I posted a few days ago asking for some suggestions to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The sunroof which was estimated to be over $1,000 to repair ended up being under $100 (slight software adjustment), so I decided I’ll enjoy being without a car payment for a little while longer.

With that said, it dawned on me about what I should replace it with.

What Has:
- 4 Doors
- AWD
- Manual
- 250+hp
- Turbo
- Somewhat Rare
- Looks Nice
- Built Well
- At or around $26XXX

A Golf R. I’m going against what I originally stood for, and looking at something without any ground clearance.

In the meantime, I got amber foglamps!

Your current car is cooler than the MK6. Also that R is the Gen that they decided not to let you turn the traction control, but the aftermarket may have found a fix for that by now.

I was thinking WRX but fine. Go the boring TCS only route.

I’ve got a Mk6 R and recommend it 100%! Just went to Apr stage 1 and now it's crazy fast on boost and still comfortable and economical off boost when I commute.

I think sunroofs are like the biggest waste of money. It's either too hot, or let's in too much sun, or makes too much wind noise to comfortable enjoy. Add to that you ever see how small some of them are? My last 3 cars, I think I could count the number of times I used it. My current car, I've had 2 years doesn't have one, haven't missed it at all. To each their own

Your other options are a 335 or S4 that’s about 5 yrs old.

Or a Jeep.

Claustrophobia. Cars that dont have them make me feel like I’m in a cave. Believe me - if I could live without a sunroof I’d be so much happier.

MS6’s are cool, but I don’t think I’d be upgrading much in terms of...anything. Build quality is lesser, it’s slower, and it’s just as old. Plus, reliability on these is apparently a little iffy.
