Crap. Thanks, Spinner. I missed that. Anyhow, I'm shocked at how painfully slow the car is.

This thing is about as fast as my Mitsubishi Mirage from over a decade ago. Probably getting so much praise for it's handling because of it's low weight by todays standards.

Hurts, doesn't it? I was so looking forward to this car. Still gonna test drive one though. If it sucks, I'll pick up a GTI or used TT.

So much potential went right out the window. This car with a k20 would have been PROPER.

Don't forget it was with the CVT, which is quite a bit slower than the 6MT. Other tests put this car at a smoking 0-60 in 9.3s with the manual transmission.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you excited now?
