Yes, if I wanted a Tesla, I would have bought one. I wanted a car that makes noises and have things I can touch and scares me a little.
when it advertises itself as ‘more digital’, that is a serious turn off for me

Pet peeve of mine too. I watch LOTS of car reviews on youtube, but making a stupid face of the thumbnail will make me not click

This is why Carfection is my go-to for modern cars and Petrolicious for classic cars.
As a film editing instructor, they’re also sources for some really well shot films.

The car? Yeah, with the confirmation of a three pedal option, I'm likely in for a second year model.

It's an option on the UK configurator. I hope it doesn't make it here, or is at least an option. I disliked the one on my Mazda 3, useless with polarized glasses and unless it's the kind that Mazda and Mini use with a pop up focus screen, they make the cost of a windshield about $1500.

I'm waiting for my current R to hit 10 years (2026 for MY, 2027 for ownership) before I start looking again. My wife already approved a Porsche Cayman as our next fun car (or Macan if we consolidate cars), so a less expensive alternative would make her happy
I might just make it to the last year of the Mk8 haha.Def the second MY is the way to go. I made the mistake of getting the first year of the GTI in Canada and missed out on the PP :/

Just get the GTS Cayman, you'll forget all about the VW. If I didn't need the back seat, that or a GT4 would have happened a long time ago.

The T is my attainable dream car (Macan GTS if we consolidate) but auto rev-match can't be fully disabled
. I also wanted the sat-nav delete, but not legal in NA bentin

I can't get excited about the current Macan. We ended up with a Q5 after shopping both. They just feel so similar and the Porsche premium is heavy. The torque vectoring is nice, but it's also weird to use it in something so big and heavy. Now if we were talking about a used Panamera Sport Turismo, I'd be all in, but the wife wouldn't budge on wanting something taller, dammit.

I agree with the Porsche premium. The SQ5 is worth considering as well - when I can get over floating screens :/
And I just remembered, it's another reason the Mk8 is turn off for me.
