Small upgrade from a base veloster

I was seriously considering one of these, but the price scared me off. Post an update about how you feel about it in 6 months.

I really like my 2012 Golf R, but I’ve had it for almost 2 years and I’m starting to get a little tired of it.

Do the rear seats fold flat?

So - just got this in the mail. knew nothing about it so it was a nice Surprise. I am on teh waiting list for Aug 7-8th for the complimentary driving school.

That’s pretty cool of them, it shows they are really trying to make this a great ownership experience.

Just wondering, does the door have the built in “active door edge guard” like they showed on The Grand Tour?

X…

May be selling my 06 WRB WRX hatch Limited after winter. Has 140k miles with no body rust. Short throw shift, Leather heated seats, 4 piston front brakes 2 piston rear. Rare car to find around here in limited.

And I am definitely jealous about this. I was debating as well to throw a lump sum at one of these but could not pull the trigger on such a new car/technology as well as the high price for a Ford Focus.

If i’m reading this right you are soft-pitching your winter car to me… no thanks man but I appreciate it.

I’m leaning Subaru again… (u vape breh?) but it’d be a newer if not new car.

it unfortunately does not :frowning: that was one of the first ‘stupid features’ i looked for after seeing it on the Grand Tour.

More of a DD, not just winter. But I can understand the want for Newer. And thankfully no on the Vape. haha

Just a couple month update - but im still loving the car. I’ve seen a few more driving around now, and might trade in for a blue one for the 18MY if they make one.

Gas mileage is definitely less than the veloster and taking a bit of getting used to, but still completely worth it.

I’m about to get the winter tires switched out, and then I signed up for the Autox at the stadium on 4/23. Only Novice since its my first time but should be a good time regardless.

awd snow donuts?

Very cool. I considered getting one of these but I think its 10 years too late for me; went through this stage already (EVO, WRX).

I hope you bring this by cars and coffee as I’d really like to check it out. :tup:
