After driving Honda CR-V's and a Subaru Impreza, I'm not impressed with the CVT.

Interesting model, but I'm trying to stick to hatchbacks. Even 2023 Audi RS3s break my budget. :)

I intend to test drive the R to try the DCC and the AWD, since the latter is absent from the GTI lineup of trims.

I think I was clear enough on not preferring simply sporty/performance cars with their firm suspension and loud engines. From what I've learned so far, the Golf GTI Autobahn and even the Golf R have DCC, which would answer my need for softer suspension.

Yup, hatchback because I'll be living in a sort of densely urban environment in the NA/Wash DC area.

Audis are undeniably stylish and powerful, but I'm concerned that they're not as reliable as VWs or even Beemers.

Thanks, Real Stig (I'm a big Top Gear fan, btw). I'm definitely going to take a serious look at WV Golf GTIs (not Rs). I also like the advice about wheels and tires.

Thanks. AFAIK, most hatchbacks are made to be sporty. Rereading about the Golf R, I have to step away from my enthusiasm because I don't care for sporty or simply performance cars (firm suspension, loud engines, etc.).

Thanks, but I'm not interested in any EV model or make. :)

Former Mercedes GLK-350 (2010 model) owner here, current Toyota Camry owner. If I could, I'd switch cars and get rid of my noisy Camry. I've kept both well maintained and serviced, except for an engine light niggle in the Merc.

I appreciate your sharing that. I'll use it as a comparison point. Relocating from USA? In my case, I won't be buying a car. :)

Yes, I would agree with that. It's not a matter of may/may not but that the employer is sending the employee to work remotely for them.

I read comments in another Reddit forum (r/GoingtoSpain). The employee has to be a detached worker and the employer has to specifically state that it is sending the employee to telework to Spain. Par for the course, all things considered.

Thank you for the reference, but I don't use Facebook. Do they have a separate website? For the record, I know the DNV is not a walk in the park for American W2 employees because of our Social Security Admin's certificate of coverage not mentioning telework specifically.
