So the wife and I have been debating our next car purchase. We currently drive a 2013 V6 accord coupe and a 2013 genesis 2.0t coupe. We would like to turn these cars into something new without some ungodly payment. Anyway here some priorities:
4 door - easy access to baby seat fun to drive at least as fast as our current cars AWD Manual (insisted by my wife actually, that's what I get for teaching her) - I think she could be convinced by a decent paddle shifter Decent warranty The only cars I know that check all the boxes: Golf R - not wild about hatchbacks or VW for that matter Wrx/STI - warranty kinda sux, not wild about subarus either (especially outside of their warranty) Cars with compromises: Kia Stinger - Great Warranty, auto only, kinda big Genesis G70 - Great warranty, Basically the same as our current genesis (good thing), auto (unless 2.0t RWD), pushes the price limit Maybe an audi Maybe a Bimmer What an I missing... new car choices leave me wanting for more.

I've heard great things about the G70, but man the Golf R checks all your boxes and then some. The horrors of lulvwunreliable are gone. I really do recommend driving one.

I almost picked up a new Stinger GT2 but then the Corvette was sitting there. Needless to say the wife wasn’t super thrilled when I came home with it. The excuse that Ibsaved is $20k didn’t fly to well she she is getting a cruise this summer.

I am not wild about their looks. YOu cant get them new, except there are some 2017 leftovers on autotrader... Warrenty is not great. but I hear they are a hoot to drive. Maybe I should see if they wanna cut a good deal on a leftover.

I don't know why it's a big deal. Like "Neat." but I don't know enough about space to understand why it's cool.

I hope so too. I'd like to have new up to date how to videos and what not. Also youtube took a big market chunk away with DIY channels.
