One thought is just buy a four-door VW GTI with a stick. Could easily become my son’s college car.
yep. Wife wants to hand mine down to my 14 year soon when he is ready drive

I am very happy with my GTI. My poor turbo does not get driven because of it. Hauls my bike and surfboard around and still fun to drive. FWD with diff gives it some personality on the road.

Good to know. I guess the FWD X2 also has a front diff. But for a lot more dinero!

(Do you put the bike in the car, or do you have a rack for it?)

I hitch mounted rack(1up).

You can put a bike in the back with the seats down and front wheel off. I do occasionally if I need to run into a store after a ride.

My annual reminder to Nick about how much of a disservice he's done himself by never daily driving a Fox body Mustang 5.0.
