Newest unrealistic want.

And it’s incredibly unrealistic because the base manual R starts at $35,655! And I bet they won’t lose their value quickly enough for me to ever afford one.

But hey I’m pragmatic.. I’d be willing to settle for a lesser model... with PLAID!

I don’t even know why I bother. We all know that even if I could afford something nice, I’d just use the money for the house or investments and savings anyway... Still, it’s fun to dream.

I’ve been thinking my next car just might be one of these.

Or GTI, more realistically.

That’s what’s so annoying about VW these days (other than the cursed Jetta they built and thrust upon JKM). Too damn expensive for the “people’s car.” Audi is supposed to be upscale VW. Instead, they want VW to be closer to an Audi than a Toyota in hierarchy.

Responsible me says GTI, irresponsible me says R, and hooligan me says WRX.

Reminds me that I need to get a custom tartan if I every buy a GTI. Although my family colours might not work with that.

Good, I know who to rob next year. Name and address, please?

Newer WRX will never be an option for me because sedan only.

I have those seats. Can attest that they are indeed awesome chairs to drive in.

Former cow-orker had an R. Full stage 2 tune too. Car is frighteningly fast. As in I was scared to ride with him because OMGTHISCARISN’TSUPPOSEDTOGOTHISFASTTHATQUICKLYHOLYSHIYWE’REGOINGTODIEPLEASESTOPUSINGTHEGASPEDALRIGHTFUCKINGNOW

GTI?

I’d like one, more than the Passat.

I heard the other day that there’s one down here with 85k miles or thereabouts for $19k.

That’s the perfect color / interior combo too. I always see white and black.

As a used car buyer, the one thing I always accept is that I will probably never get the color I want, in the package I want, in the condition I want, with the transmission I want.

As a buyer just dipping his toes into the used car waters for the first time, this is something I am learning to come to grips with.

Pfffft that’s like $300 / month on a 96-month loan. You can totes afford that.

$300 a month for the rest of my life?!? You’d be crazy NOT to!

Can relate... I admire new cars, and always thought someday I could afford one. Well, the Mrs. and I broke well past the 6-digit income mark last year and I celebrated by buying an 18 year old $2,600 Suburban. Plaid seats rule, but so does financial security and property ownership.

LoL nice.

After I got a nice raise, I was like, “Hell yeah! This is THE YEAR. I’m going to finally treat myself!” So I bought a Tercel.

OK, but here’s an alternative:

See, with just a little badge alteration, you too can have a Golf R.

Well, my wife’s immaculate 2011 mk6 GTI autobahn 4 door is coming on market this year. 66k miles on it. Only 5k miles since moving here in 2015.

We are thinking about getting a 2018 golf r for her to drive around Queen Anne, to the Whole Foods in interbay; and to putt putt the baby around to play dates and library reading times. Then In another 6-7 years, we will have another gently used golf, probably a barely touched golf r with under 30k miles.

Hell, the Golf Rs on CarMax are all around ~$35,000 and they’re all used even.

If I ever sell the A3 it will likely be for an R or Golf Alltrack.
