I know you are a fan of them and I am still angry you suggested one

Never drove one though. Have driven some nice GTIs though.


Yeah, it's the kind of car that gets ragged on by magazines and eaten up by people who haven't driven one.  And yet, they're still fun cars despite not being great at irrelevant things like track times.  By all accounts, the new model is supposed to be even better than a GTI, thanks to its lighter weight through the use of aluminum.

He should know me better than that.

You have a Golf and a 350Z.  I have no idea what you're into anymore.  I expected an Accord and another Accord, but with the back seats removed.

Meh, Golf was the wife's car. I put it like this. If money were no object, I'd have a Desmosedici RR, an Ariel Atom V8, and a E63 wagon. Lightness, picking the car for the job, yadda yadda... same shit I've been saying for years. I am a speed freak now though. I don't think I can daily drive something slower than the Z for a long time, it's not even fast to me anymore.

You're only a speed freak because the Z doesn't feel fast.

The Z feels faster than a lot of cars folks suggested I buy. It's still a low 14 second car.

It is faster than a lot of cars suggested...but in my experience it definitely doesn't feel it.  All that weight dulls the senses.

Speed is overrated. Having your ass almost bumping the asphalt with as light a car as you can get is where it's at.
