i dont like the TC at all…just seemed like such a cheap plastic interior…definitely intended for first time car owning kids/teens/etc… I full support the GTI…as i said in my test drive thread…i haven’t had that much fun driving a car in longer than i can remember…more fun than my car even…probably though because i didnt have to worry about anything stupid going wrong while test driving it lol…paranoia about unreliability can be quite the buzz kill when it comes to having fun driving ---

Am I the only one that thinks that things like Fits and Yaris’s are really lame ways to spend $17k? I mean, they’re incredibly economical, sensible, and responsible. Yuck.
