In the past he will need to man up his car control skills to really be worthy to drive such a powerful car. Now he can just leave the stability system on and 'race' around. 20 years from now probably the car can do everything for him and he is just along for the ride |

don't get me wrong, it's a great all around car.. but being a special version of a driver's car means you need to focus first and foremost on the driver's experience. it performs, it just doesn't feel special or create excitement for the driver in any way. |

As to the Golf R, it is similarly a question of what would you get instead, in today's market, that's better, and won't make you look like an overgrown teenager in the process. I used to own an STi, which undoubtedly is more engaging vehicle, however I don't think I could stand to be in one for more than 20 minutes at this point, the overall experience being pretty terrible (not to mention way less practical). All the other cars in the segment would embarrass the shit out of me to be seen in, plus they aren't really any better anyway. As someone who demands a MT in my cars, the choice nowadays is pretty piss-poor. And within the choice present today, the Golf R is pretty good for what it is, warts and limitations and all.

I guess you and some "people" need to change the channel?
