Go to dealer, show interest, provide drivers license. Drive.

Though driving one on the track is much more fun.

not really. not letting an 18 year old kid who probably can’t afford one is a smart business decision on sooo many levels.

no. VW wanted to make the car perform as best as possible.

ive heard multiple times that its boring.

they wouldnt even let a 30 something year old dude drive it. they kept bringing up a gti when he suggested a test drive of the r. he got frustrated and left. i was ACTUALLY INTERESTED in trading over and they were hearing nothing of it, even with my dad there.

why do you think the r’s are all still at autohaus? they’re so rare and wanted that theres still 3 of them fucking sitting there. shitty business huh.

Yeah, because to be honest, BMW’s SMG effing blows. Audi’s DSG is like driving a well thought out manual with a computer helping you, BMW’s SMG feels more like their suggestion lever automatic.
