I like the R Variant too, 5/7 would buy when I was shopping for said thing, not so much anymore unless I could get one a 2017 used at wholesale of 20-25K. :scrooge: lyfe

Basically any small (actually small, not a 3500 lb Golf) affordable hatchback with :manuel: and RWD. Does that even exist anywhere anymore cheaper than the Cayman?

There used to be tons. 944, fox mustang, celica, base supra, corolla, base z cars, 318ti, etc.
basically the previous gen 1 series (F20) is the last one left :sad:

This is by far the best only car I can have, throw my dirty mtb in the back and such. RWD V8 with a light rear end :jimp:

I don't know why I love weird car pickups so much. They're my weakness apparently.
This is the correct answer.

We were so fucking close to getting it, too. It was coming as a 2010 Pontiac.

The Yaris GRMN is a strong contender, but I would daily the fuck out of this. GTD Estate.

There are others. They’re all wagons.

In addition to the Eurofist

I’d add the AMG version of the A-series hatchback, and the CLA shooting brake.

Always liked the Sciroccos. Probably would've gotten one of these instead of the GTI's. R looks great too.

Ford Focus RS 3-Door, most likely in this blue. :jimp:

I would throw money at one of these in a heartbeat if it was available stateside.
This is the only one posted that I wouldn't mind having.

It's weird though, I honestly can't think of any car I want that isn't available here, except maybe this one, but I wouldn't be hunting one down.

I feel strange about that, it doesn't seem right.

:dat: cause more expensive ones are already in the US market with only a few exceptions. Hot hatch and wagons are basically the only ones I'd choose and perhaps the ute's

Adding a TVR to the list. https://youtu.be/1eWFcABix_U

The rest of you can jerk off to utes and long wheel base golfs.
