electric car with gears, that's where. Why does it need them? It always provides the same torque. you're limiting yourself by trying to make your commuter shitbox anything but the most efficient it can be.

That's a "normal car" that's faster and has 3x the range and 4 years worth of gas.

That's a fairly simple process that also locks the battery in place. Clever desu.

Posted this in the VW thread but I need high visibility.

I know I'll get shit on for buying a VW, but I need help, I'm not sure whether to buy a 2015 GTI for $30,000 CAD with 20,000km (12,427 miles) or a 2013 Golf R with 50,000km (31068 miles) for the same price. The Golf R is from a Chrysler dealership 3 hours away, so it's not certified by VW itself and I'm not sure if they'll bring it over to one and check it out.

I've test driven both and I find the Golf R is a superior drive it actually feels like a whole new car, but I'm still undecided. I'm not sure whether to get the GTI because it's newer has better warranty and has less mileage on it, but one thing I don't like with the GTI, the pedals and the clutch and shifting feel a bit stiff, I've never driven a new car so I suppose it needs to be worn in, whereas the Golf R I test drove had 100,000km (62137miles) was worn in, the pedals clutch and shifting felt nice and smooth.

I think I'll be happy with either, but I can't make up my mind. I know if I buy either, I'll wish I got the other. Sorry if this was hard to read, I had a hard day and my mind is burnt out. Thanks.

Steering question.

When my steering wheel is straight I go straight, but lately something odd has been happening. If go at a set speed or accelerate slowly the car is fine and same for braking.

But when I push the clutch to shift or when I accelerate hard the car pulls to one side. Instead of TDC of my wheel being 12 o'clock it goes to about 2 when I accelerate hard.

And when I push in my clutch to shift the wheel TDC moves to around 10-11 area.

It's pretty sketchy and I'm not certain what could have caused it to do this.

Any help? It's a odd question so I haven't found anything searching yet.

Car is FWD.
