So as part of my training for my new job we had to go and fake buying a car at another lot today. Since I'm in the market for a new car in the next 6-8 months or so. Ended up going to the VW dealership down the road and drove a GTI. Having driven the old version I have to say this is a great improvement. The power is just so smooth coming on and the stiffness of the suspension is perfect. My biggest complaint about the car was the clutch. It's just too soft. When I got back into my car the clutch felt so stiff it wasn't funny. Anyways overall I think it's a great car but for 27k I'd have to sleep on it.
