Just got rid of my Mini Cooper and purchased a 2016 GTI. Great car for the money. Base GTI under $30000. Hard to find a two door manual but was patient. No regrets.

I had a 2013 Mini JCW. Loved it but rode way too rough...rougher in fact than the GT3 I had at the time as a toy.

Drove the new JCW and Cooper S...just not the same...

Loving the responses...I need professional help. Might get another R8...

Interesting. I'm contemplating a 997 DD...What is it about the 4S that is prompting the change (besides A.D.D.)..

Don't make my mistake(s)...I've tried the sensible route twice:

997 C4 to Audi S4
&
991 C2S to BMW M2

Guess what I'm driving now? Back into my 991 Carrera. Sensible only works if you've never owned a 911. Once you've owned a 911 your toast...

I chose my 911 because it was the practical choice!

Greg981

Agreed on the rough ride. Even got rid of the run flats but still crazy. I also drove the new version. I passed.
For 210 hp and 258ftlbs its hard to beat a GTI. Owed 2006 Subaru. Worst car I ever owned. In 8 years of ownership and 170000klms - $10000 in repairs. Never again.

Drove a Golf R last weekend with DSG. Fantastic car! If they offered a wagon version in NA I would be all over it

NOBLEGT3

Yes do that get an R8

Just ADD. The 4S is perfect. It's beautiful, reliable, good looking, only has 47,000 km and looks and drives like new. I wouldn't sell it....but maybe stop DD'ing it.

I'm on my 5th 911...trust me...I know.

I traded a 2012 R8 V10 manual I bought new on the 2011 GT3. I'm trying to buy it back from the guy that has it now...not going well...

993GT

I'd vote sell the 360 and C4S and get a new 911TT or GT2 to daily, add roof racks...my GT2 is my summer 'daily'
If ^ a no go, go for a Subi over the VW...WRX/STi are fun drivers and very reliable/low run cost

I DD my c4. It's great!

Did you just turn 18 and your friends don't respect you because the Porsche ain't cool. I see no reason to have a Golf R as a DD, maybe a Golf TDI but a R is just very immature.

LastMezger

I wish I was 18. I figure it will be like a quicker GTi and the GTi is great. Nimble, good front axle grip, supple ride, DSG pairs well with the 2.0L turbo.

TDi doesn't have the same chassis feel. I wish they offered the GTD in Canada...a GTi chassis with TDI engine. That said...they're not offering any TDIs at the moment ;-)

I tried the new Mini and it's just not the same. Kinda like how the 991 isn't the same...

We ordered a 2017 Golf R for my wife replacing her Mercedes B class, should be here in Oct/Nov and I'm looking forward to it. I'll admit I influenced the decision too, I drive her car a fair bit on the weekends to run errands etc and I needed something more exciting vs the utilitarian nature of the B250. She was onboard though and she enjoyed test drives of the GTI and Golf R... as did I, the Golf R is a rocket!

Golf R is life driving a 993 Turbo with worse gas mileage, 1/3 the power. Bonus ++ look like a retard. + small step up from the B class pos.
