Yeah, I remember from when she came to visit. My friend Sam has an IDENTICAL one...
Though he doesn't keep his wheels nearly as clean.
Despite his abuse, it's been a flawless car, and I've really enjoyed driving it when he's tossed me the keys.

Fair enough>>>
i appreciate your thoughts.....i liked it for its simplicity.....
Plus...the seats are much nicer then the OEM standard gear....(maybe because i am a fat a$$ and you are not) helps....
Regardless...whatever you decide on, i am sure it will be fun....

I like the Mazda 3... but that aside, read the last two paragraphs of this:

I'm concerned about the Haldex units on the .:Rs, otherwise, yeah, that'd be a big consideration.
But I still find the handling slushy, and I don't want to end up throwing all the money I threw at my TT on another car to get the handling the way I'd like it to be...
Honestly, the TT is one of the reasons that I'm so turned off of VAG cars. That, and the fact that they haven't made anything that I've been at all interested in a while.
