New WRX STI with wing delete
i've not driven the new gen WRX STI but i had a previous gen and it was a pretty frustrating car to drive for all of the time when you weren't wringing its neck in the back of beyond areas in Scotland or Wales.
When you were doing that, it was bloody brilliant but for me, that was only about 5% of the time and the rest of the time it was a crashy, noisy car with a cheap cabin and nothing to give below 4,000 rpm. And circa 200 miles between fuel stops.

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.
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.
