What was your last car?

While I haven't officially joined the GTI ownership club yet, my "last" car is a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i. Fairly fun to drive, but tons of body roll, and despite the 50/50 AWD, it's still understeer city (though it responds to trail braking quite well). Nowhere nearly as quiet or as comfortable as a GTI either...

Before that, I had a 1990 Nissan 240SX, which was my first car. Great handling, terrible engine, and by the time I got it in 2002, terrible reliability. Lots of fun memories in that one though. Looking forward to hopefully saying the same thing about the GTI.

Last whip was an 08 G37S with 20" Maya MRS






Before the G was a 96 Prelude, JDM H22 swap, just about the whole car was modded

I definitely find this thread interesting to see the automotive tastes and previous experiences prior to all of us getting together behind the following of the Mk6 GTI. :)

What did you switch from?

And what do you think?

Okay- switching from a 2006 Saabaru 9-2x (with the 2.5L H4 Turbo).

Gotta say, I LOVED the Saab and do not regret owning it for a minute- rear bias AWD, plenty fast for anyone with common sense, and never caused me a minute of trouble-

However, for a car with less engine- the GTI pulls way harder up to 3,000 RPM- only 58 miles on the car so far, but absolutely shocked at how tractable the engine/DSG combination is esp at lower RPMs. Unfortunately this being OH in the winter I currently have cheapo 16" wheels with snows on them for the moment- Will have to hold on the handling specifics until I put the 18's with the PZeros on in a couple of months.

Also- I can listen to the stereo in peace in the GTI- refined does not even begin to describe the difference in the interior environment between the two cars- no way I'm ever going back.

I would love to hear what other people's impressions are compared to their prev rides- anybody switch from a MazdaSpeed 3?

switched from a chipped mkv sort of a mazda speed 3 i guess...and i would just like to say i enjoy stock because of no worries of damage warranty or speeding tickets...and the interior is a lot nicer imo
