New, 2017 VW Golf Wolfsburg. I'm about to take the plunge.

>>17131743
a regular golf? not a GTI or R?

>>17131748
Yes.
GTI is $30k.
R is $40k.

Too much.

>>17131767
buying a regular golf in America is like buying a v6 mustang especially if its a new car under warranty unless you are crazy enough to modify a new car.

>>17131748
Hey it's still more hp than most of the competition. The Golf has a 170 hp over the Mitsubishi Lancer's 140 hp, or even that of a Chevy Cruze.

>>17131810
less than a Civic hatch though

>>17131812
>CVT
Keep it.

>>17131812
the power difference is small and the golf get a better automatic transmission.

>>17131834
It comes in manual

>>17131767
Buy a used one, there are tons of low mileage MK7 GTI's for 20k

>>17131834
>he can't drive manual
top fucking kek

>>17131743
If money is a problem, get a few years older used one. It has the same amount kf streetcred and you won't notice much difference

>>17131743
Buy a civic for 3k or get a v6 Accord for your 20k. Vw a shit.

>>17131838
>automatic transmision

>>17131743
Hatchbacks are gay. Literally designed for Euro-cucks.

>>17131841
>>17131845
Only the low trim LX comes in Manual.
EX, EX-L, and Touring are CVT only.

>>17132525
y tho

>>17132562
Who cares about the trim level it's just a bunch of memey shit you don't need

>>17131743
The Wolfsburg interior trim is sickening. Enjoy your LITERAL chav wagon you sack of fucks.

Get a Focus ST

>>17132583
The cloth seats in the low trims feel cheap as fuck.

>>17132598
The interior is exactly the same as the S, just with leather seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel.

>>17132625
I prefer cars that don't spontaneously burst into flames.

>>17132631
You either burst into flames and go out like a man or die slowly of Freon aids when all the plastic pumps in your engine blow.

>>17132575
They're ugly and wrong wheel drive. It's the most poorly designed hatch on the market. It looks like a giant egg. The hatchback design as a whole is just ugly.

OP here.
I actually considered a Mazda 3.

But it's 2 feet longer and 3 inches wider than my current car. I think that's just too much.

Scrap together some extra cash. Get nearly twice the car.

>>17131743
20K OTD is not bad at all for what you get.
Only thing is maintenance is horribly expensive if you keep it maintained by the dealer.

Any car's maintenance is expensive if you have the dealership do it.
