Hey everyone!
I just traded in my much loved Mini JCW 2-door hardtop for a 2016 VW Golf R - tornado red with DCC and a manual transmission. I loved my Mini, but after owning a Golf for a few weeks - I GET THE HYPE. Build quality is great, the driving experience is phenomenal, and the thing is just so damn practical. I'm still not sure how this is only 1.5 feet longer than my Mini, but has 2 extra doors and more than 3x the rear cargo volume!
Oh also - 30 y/o mechanical design engineer working in product development at Trek Bicycles in Wisconsin.
