That's one hatch I'd be willing to make a consideration for!

It's like getting drunk before you go to the bars saying to yourself, I'm gonna gonna get laid by a fatty anyways since I need to get laid

There are always exceptions!

QFT..especially C&D...you will NEVER see an American car at the top of any of their tests...even if it runs rings round the German Competition.

I know...they will praise the GTI until the end of time...even if it's closest competitor these days is a Standard Civic SI...and the CSRT is NEVER even mentioned 90% of the time. I, personally, love that car and wish that it was featured more often before it was so wrongfully taken away from the Caliber lineup.

Its OK. Id rather drive a rare car. Screw those assclowns. I can push 570 whp stock internals. Id LOVE to see their precious GTI do that.

That GTI may have a better interior. I obviously have a better engine FTMFW!

That's exactly why I bought the Cobalt. It's a better car IMO OVERALL than the GTI. The GTI is sexy to look at and looks more sophisticated, but it'll still see my taillights at the end of the dragway

You've got a fridge in your glove box...not even Audi's have that!!! The GTI is a good looker...but performance wise...WEAK SAUCE! They need 3 grand+ to keep up with a CSS or CSRT with about 500 in mods...ugh..plaid seats FTL C&D.

arent the 09 wrx's blowing pistons or engines?

I find awd over rated for track use in stock/street form once you've seen the time attack and koni SS's.

That was happening to quite a few of them but only between a certain build date (Late 08-VERY Early 09 because it was a bad batch of rods or something. That issue has been fixed if I'm not mistaken.

there is no plaid if you get the leather seats. i like the plaid seats, but i also think houndstooth interior looks awesome too.
