Frankly this thing is a grown up GTI...

I have no idea who complained about lack of refinement or shitty cabin in this car. It is a very premium experience, on par or better than the A3.

I will post pics once I take better ones but frankly this is an AWESOME CAR. Yes shoot me, I love the baby dick benz but it is better than the C class that I drove for an extended period of time.

Here is what is great about it.
1. Great lights
2. Great moon roof
3. Great seats
4. Most of the interior is super premium
5. Very good steering, it is pretty heavy and responsive similar to Mk6 GTI/TDI/R
6. Nice suspension over 90% of pavement
7. Tons of refinement, no windnoise, almost no road noise etc.
8. Decent trunk
9. Very decent stereo.
10. Engine has a great punch especially from 2500-6k rpm
11. Insane turning radius, you can easily park this thing anywhere.
12. high 20s in terms of MPG

Here is what sucks...
1. Useless back seat, unless your passengers are 5'6" or shorter, and i seriously mean USELESS.
2. Back visibility is blah
3. EVERYTHING IS A GOD DAMN OPTION, this 32k car had 14k options and frankly they make the car great the base car would be absolute shit. This car is not worth 46k period, that's insanity. Is it a good car FUCK YES, is it a 46k car? No
4. The transmission refuses to shift, or shifts by itself even in manual mode, the DSGAY is better in that regard. however in sport mode it allows for very decent driving.
5. I hate the way it looks like a squished bug... :disgust:

Here is a video of what the brakes looked like after i took it through the canyons for 5 min... and yes this is with the fancy "AMG" package

Honestly I would recommend this car over a C class to most ppl, it is a far far better driving experience and it is downright FUN. I wanted to hate it, I really did, but surprisingly I loved it. It is one awesome machine
Great review, not what I'd expect, still can't buy a car so hideous regardless of the price. What is it doing in your pay area garage? That's quite a test drive.

At the poverty spec level I'd probably rather have a nicely equipped PP GTI and at the :waxer: level with options, I'd probably rather have a Golf R. :gaydance:

The real question though is were you out drinking wine in Napa with Mk2 in Mk1's loaner while Mk1 got a boob job when you took that picture^^^^ Because if you can answer that question in the affirmative it will be
difficult to question your reign as the new Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

I don't understand how he ended up with MK1's loaner in the first place if relationshit status is :nuke:

Between Max not telling us what is really going on and him actually not knowing what is going on himself, the newsfeed on the AZN issues is fairly sporadic and difficult to connect. Lots of BENZO action doe.

Good fakies can be fantastic.

Infamous has fakes, and I prefer reals. I am not upset at all.
