Lucky kid, curious to hear your thoughts when you get it.
And I totally get JST's frustration. It is completely ridiculous that VW dealership won't let you test drive an R. Especially for a possible customer pulling up with his wife in either a tesla, previous gen R or a boxster... come on that sounds like a car salesman's wetdream.

I know there's a smurf blue one at Lindsay Ford in Wheaton sitting outside lined up for an easy egress to the street...

The Recaros are a love/hate thing in the ST. How does the RS compare?

If I didn't already have the AWD Golf, I'd probably be totally happy with the GTI. But...

I have a very vague recollection of yours, but in the RS, it feels like some of my organs are getting moved around. I certainly don't recall hating yours. My sister weighs nearly a hundred pounds less than I do, so she loves them.

I know your frustrated and I totally get it ... when I was young I loved going to the dealer to try out cars and enjoyed the whole buying process ... now I find I really don't enjoy it, it is just annoying sitting at a sales persons desk for a freakin hour just to buy a car. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth ... do these guys really have to check out EVERYTHING with their manager. |

Good thoughts, but the weekdays are even harder than the weekends for reasons I won't bore you with.
At the end of the day, there's only so much effort I'm willing to expend on buying a VW. VWs dealers have made clear they don't need my business. Fortunately I don't need to buy their car, so we are on the same page. Win/win. |
