2007 Mazdaspeed 3.
Even though it was a quick car in a straight line, it was so boring to drive compared to the GTI. The handling was very disconnected...the steering was very heavy and this took away a lot of the tossability that the GTI has. This is my first VW, and it will take me a lot to back to Japanese cars, even though they are more reliable.

I had 2 - 99/00' Civic Si. First one a lady failed to yield and T-Boned me. Loved the car so much I went out and bought a second one and in 03' it was stolen from a north Phoenix suburb. Car was sitting on the frame in downtown PHX. Motor, doors, glass, brakes, everything was stripped out of the car. Basically broke and going to college I took a hand-me down pickup from the parents and have been driving it since.

Really? May I ask why? I'm asking because that's the one other car I was considering to purchase.

2007 Black Cherry Scion tC
It was pretty fun to drive, but the ride was supremely uncomfortable over the common California freeway. My commute is no longer such a pain in the ass. :laugh:
Paint was kind of crap--so many chips after just 3 years.
Definitely liked the moonroof better in the tC, no wind with the deflector up and the noise wasn't bad. And I do kind of miss the stereo controls on the steering wheel, but I've gotten over it.

I have a '97 Maxima SE that I will be trading in on a MKVI GTI this summer. It's at 300,000kms and about time to be retired.
I also had a 1971 Opel GT that was working on restoring, and currently ride a 2002 Triumph Sprint RS with the 955cc Triple.
Prior to that was two Eagle Talon TSi AWD's and a Nissan 200SX 3.0 V6. All fun vehicles!

98 Wrangler with 4" lift
99 Mustang GT 5spd
01 Explorer Sportrac
07 FJ Cruiser 4x4 auto
Here's the listing on my FJ at the VW dealership I traded it in at http://www.westhoustonvw.com/VehicleDetails/645343583
I loved that FJ but the gas was killing me. Now the dang VW dealership has it up on ramps right in front. Everyday I drive by it on my way to work and get a little sad.
