Fascinating...I suppose you test drove the WRX that they were letting people
test drive? I have yet to find a dealership in the southeast that will even
permit that.
Funny that you say it has no power. Grassroots motorsports pulled a 5.7 0-60
out of it. Maybe you need lessons =).
The 1.8T golf is a TURD. If you honestly think it's faster, you may want to
consider that you are probably feeling it's bloated suspension bucking and
heaving all over the road. Then go buy one...I'll gladly pass you =).
take care,
