Here my "what car to get in 3 months time" post.

I'm gaining momentum for a new car soon. Last effort was squashed by the arrival of a new baby and upgrading my wife's car. I'm in the States. Here's my short list.
1. New Golf R
2. New WRX STI with wing delete.
3. 2016-2018 Focus RS (if I can find one)
4. 2016 S4 Manual transmission (very hard to find)
Anything else? It has to have 4 doors and be a manual, and it should be AWD.

Probably going to go with the Golf R because it's the most practical and understated. I just feel like I should wait for the MKVIII if going that route.

I also wonder whether I should just drive my paid for, perfect condition, 50K, 2011 MKVI GTI for 3 more years and then go electric when things get more interesting. I just find myself driving it like I stole it too much lately... in other words, really finding it boring.

Mk7 golf R and a full revo kit will see it run 11.6 1/4 miles, 0-60 in ~3secs

I almost bought a WRX STI recently but the fear of ringland failure put me off quite a lot, although if you're buying the brand new model i'm not sure if that's still an issue.
