2016 FoST. Didn’t get the price as low as I’d have liked, but got significantly more than I would have asked for private sale on the GTI so came out decent enough. Blue inserts on the seats aren’t really my cup o’ tea, but she’s happy/I’m happy.
Now we’re back to being those weirdos with similar cars (a number of years ago we had a Protege 5 and 6 wagon). I suppose we need to get rid of the Miata and get a Mustang GT vert to complete the assimilation.
Congrats to Luke’s Dad, Caleb, Admiral_cb. Here’s your odd stare as promised:
What will she come home with?
Currently drives a 2010 GTI.
Budget we discussed was 40k when she started looking.
I know she’s looked at and liked the FoST, Clubman S, Mazda 3S, WRX, and CT200h. She did not like the ATS, CLA, either Mazda CXs, Crosstech, or regular Imprezza. I know she drove some other stuff as well. VWs are out since the GTI was a PITA.
What’re your guesses? Winner gets an odd stare.

I wonder how many people cross shop the WRX and CT200h.

Clubman S
Saw one in forest green on the interstate. The 90-degree rotated and elongated tail lights shook my very core.

She loves the body of the CT, hates the drivetrain and had never owned anything but manuals. I give it very long odds.

Mazda 787B

No way. She has undying hatred for that. She did go to a Hyundai dealer though, not sure what she was looking at there...probably something on the used lot or Elantra GT.

Chrysler PT cruiser - long shot but you know women.

Depends. Does she adhere to the tavarish philosophy? If so ‘07 S63.

I’m going to guess the FoST because if she loves the GTI, I don’t think she can go to the Japanese because of the not as German interiors.
Unless the VW was a really awful maintenance experience. Then she might go all the way to the CT for maximum reliability.
My dad had a ‘98 328i that was a maintenance nightmare. Now he hates German brands so much we have 2 Toyotas and 2 Lexuses.
Also, them charging $40K for even a fully loaded CLA is ridiculous.

Very pretty...I tend to lean towards the FoST more than the FiST for purely cosmetic reasons, to be fair I have never driven either.

Not in the US. It’s unlikely we’ll see any on lots that aren't spoken for, too. They aren't making/importing many of them.
