GoRf brougham sedan

Wild card hybrid hatch because you kinda implied no sedans

Interesting, but hatch required as noted. Also, guess I neglected to note that ICE is also required. Thanks, doe.

No question, but no want.

Well at least get a well optioned GTI or an R. There's nothing excessive about that. You should buy new or barely used because

Don't disagree. Thing is, I think the S level of GTI, while the lowest, is the best because it's the only version with cloth plaid seats, which I
Halogen headlights doe, which blows.

2018 GTI’s have the 6 year, 72,000 mile transferable warranty (power train and bumper to bumper). Updated facelift. Runs on 87. Depreciated like crazy so dills to be had.



Also, my 2018 GTI is an SE so it gets the lighting package, performance package, and PLAID SEATS!

S are cloth only
SE are optional cloth or leather
Autobahn are leather only.
(For 2018)

I think 2019’s had the rabbit edition, which are not available for 2020

However, warranty update for 2019+ models are 4/50k instead of 6/72k

Mk7.5 GTI.

I second that, and you can get 87

That is correct, come with 4 colors I think, nardo-ish grey?, black, white, and the most beauty of all CoRn FlOw3rBlU3!

2019 and 2020 are still S, SE, Autobahn

The LSD is now standard on all 2020's now
S (non Rabbit), no sunroof, cloth only, halogens. Still comes with driver assistance as an option.
SE (unlike my mk7) still comes with cloth, sunroof, with leather as an option, dat touch screen head unit with the volume knob, xenons as standard, I think.
Autobahn is too overpriced just the navigation when you have CarPlay or android auto, auto AC, FULLY powered seats and Fender (which what I have). Can confirm basic bitch stereo is pretty good too.

[Gberg2119]

VW website the GTI has a 14.9 gallon tank now. Used to be 13.something. When did this happen? This is good development.
https://www.vw.com/models/golf-gti/section/overview/

about that one. R has the 14 gallon tank. What do the other car comparo sites say?

Is it still available ?

I do think an SE like Rudy has is the sweet spot, speaking as a Gorf owner.

[max225]

What I want:
Small – 179” max length
Car height, no CUV
Utility, specifically, 4 doors and a hatch.
<<$30k.
Much prefer new, but would MAYBE consider a 2018.
Able to burn 87 would be nice
Needs to be kinda fun to drive, so decent performance. It needs to be quick enough to get out of it’s own way, merge on short on ramps, etc, and some handling chops is a must.
A real color would be nice this time.
What I don’t want:

CUV/SUV/ /
Toyota anything – sorry Fled, et al, it’s just nahgonnahappen
Some 4+ year old luxury thing that was $50k+ new but only $25k now. Not interested in the maintenance and upkeep those will require.
An ugly-ass Civic


Current contenders:

GTI
What can I say? Still the overall Best Car to Rule Them All, the Swiss Army Knife of cars.
Plus’s: Value, quality, comfort, performance, superiorinterior, it’s got all that.
It’s quick enough, handles well enough, hauls shit when necessary, great road trip car.
They seem to have the EA888 down in it’s 3rd generation with fewer carbon issues. Correct me if I’m here.
There’s a reason why so many of us here bought one.
Can be found for mid-$20’s

Minus’s: I’ve already had 2, though the Mk4 2.slo is a completely different animal than a 6 or 7.5 so can’t really include.
Smaller fuel tank than a Mk6.
Not available in many colors. The blue looks a lot like my CSG and I don’t care for red. Honestly, it looks best in white, IN MY OPINION. I could live with a white GTI.

All-Track
Plus’s: Scratches that wagon itch I’ve had for a while.
Bigger cargo capacity. Duh.
It has the 1.8 engine. The only reason I’m not including a GSW here is because of the 1.4.
Available in real a couple of real colors.

Minus’s: Not as fast or as nimble-handling as a GTI.
about AWD, though the owners here don’t seem to mind it.
No cloth/plaid seats. Big bummer for me.

Much farther down the desirability list are
Those are the main ones. Told you this would be a boring thread.

Elantra GT or N
Plus’s: Not a VW
Epic warranty
Epic feature content
‘s to be had. True for all choice, tbh.

Minus’s: Not a VW
Not as good looking as a GTI
Not many color choices
No cloth option
Mazda3
Not that many plus’s, honestly. Kinda meh about this, really. Supposedly quite nice but even less sporty than the previous gen.
No real minus’s really. Don’t like the C pillar.
No Mazdaspeed version.

That’s all I got for now.

I would likely recommend a 1/2 year old used GTI or a new one if epic money is on the hood. Once again the key here would be waiting... which I am you're willing to do. We will start to see epic 's in 2 weeks or so, and in 1 month I would expect most of the country to be open for rape/businesss.... so it will be an amazing time to shop if you can hold out that long.

know that if you're shopping now you're only there out to NECESSITY.

[max225]

Are there major MPG/maintenance considerations ? If so a 340i will present an excellent value for not much extra.
Amazing examples can be had for 25k or so. IMO there is no better value on the used market than that... but it comes at a price of premium 23mpg and BMW rape fees for repairs.

[max225]

Another vehicle that people will LOATHE me for is a Crosstrek ... but you'd want to wait for the 2.5 engine.... and that won't shop up for another 3 months

Spend his $1,200 in TrumpBux to Turo a 911 GT3 for a month until he finds the car he wants.

FUCK. YES.
