Everything JST is mentioning here just keeps goading me to stay interested.
I mean, they’re very serviceable, but I’m not sure that you’ll be especially happy. I’ve spent some time driving my Mom’s GTI, and the predominant impression was that it was like an audi, but worse. And if there isn’t a way to permanently disable to lane keep “assist,” it’s intolerable. I will absolutely not accept having to constantly fight the wheel because the car knows better.

For $20k, they’re good cars. But…
