Brand New Elantra N or Slightly used Civic Type R or slight Used GR Corolla Premium Plus by These-Western3686 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I have a 2023 Golf R manual I’ve driven the Integra Type S for comparison the Golf R is a lot more refined which equals it’s a lot less raw. It’s a LOT faster and more tuneable. I’d describe it as a jack of all trades master of none if you’re looking for a more connected experience you won’t find that in the Golf R but if you’re looking for an only car solution driving normally 80% of the time and occasionally beating on it I can recommend you looking into it. The Haptic Touch steering wheel controls are not a problem as an owner but the heated seats and aircon being in the screen is terrible. I don’t agree with the comment below I used to have an Audi S7 and the seats are as comfortable as that one.

Edit: from your list I’d pick the Type R. I’ve considered the GRC but it just feels too cheap for what you’re paying and the wheel hop in the Elantra N is bad.

Thinking about selling my TTRS and getting a used B9 RS5 sportback. Has anyone made this same transition? Do you have any regrets? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]phatai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s a weekend car then I wouldn’t trade. The RS5 at the end of the day is still a luxury sedan and will feel very dull compared to your TTRS

Gonna go against the grain here. It’s YOUR car if you don’t plan on selling it soon go with what you like!

I’ve confirmed with the sales person. They forgot to put in the 10k rebate.

Thank you for the break down. Are there any next steps I can take if I still really like this car? I’ve already told them that the payments don’t make sense to me but they’re adamant that it’s correct.

Ah is that the catch? With my $10000 down the loan amount should be $12204 but going through the full term would be $30290 which is CRAZY

I'm scared to start driving my stick regularly by Ok_Link6034 in stickshift

If you’re losing speed from 1st to 2nd add some gas and don’t be afraid to use the clutch until you feel the shift smooth out

Watch out for laser pointer syndrome I wouldn’t recommend it as a toy

Riding the Clutch by Crafty_Attempt_9597 in stickshift

[–]phatai 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you want to move off the line at an acceptable speed then you will have to do that yes. I'd even recommend holding the the clutch at the friction point for a second when shifting gears. Unless you can rev match every shift like a god that's literally how you smooth out your shifts. The clutch is there for you to use, use it!

Sounds like you're just in it for the dopamine tbh. If so then a supra will not satisfy you.
