https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAE92HXhMrA This has always been a really, really good car. But it brings up the very important question: why wouldn't you get a Golf R for the cost saving? Because in Canada anyway, it's like 30 grand cheaper to get a Golf R. The answer is speed, power, noise, and a fixed interior. The big big answer is the extra cylinder because this noise is unique to this car now in the world (this and the TTRS which is gone). It's just a little baby V10. It's half a V10. And I absolutely love the sound this car makes. Five cylinders are really, really funky engines and I wish we had more of them. We are very much in the midst of a second malaise-era and one of the biggest losses (to me) is the loss of personality and character in cars. Gone are high revving motors and unique engine designs. This is the last of it's kind; very likely the last 5-cylinder ICE you will ever be able to buy. submitted by /u/dustygator [link] [comments]
