with all due respect: i DID drive over 2000 different vehicles, and some i drove many times each as well

the reason i know: I WROTE IT DOWN in a notebook i kept in my pocket as an exercise ............... or differed in certain specs like sports/family/luxury or wagon/sedan etc.

and i never drove them around a car park: i drove them between clients' locations and the workplace, anything from 5km-50km each way - some days i drove more than 10 cars, and i often worked 6 days a week.
............... (which i also would administer to some of the vehicles in question throughout my working day)

So being a car groomer leaves you qualified to comment?
I spent 3 years working for Aucklands only Lotus Service agent, and have been involved in motorsport on and off, at varies levels for nearly a decade.
I also moderate the internets largest automotive forum.

Of course, I lack that unique knowledge so important to all new car buyers: How to clean the mag wheels on a Toyota Camry.


Its one thing to offer your opinion, its something else to try and back it up with more misleading, misrepresented opinion in an attempt to sound qualified.

Like I said, it's subjective. Some people would say a seat of the pants go-kart drive like an elise is the best drive, others will like the whiz bang gadgets and luxury comfort of a 7 series beamer, and still others the economy and handiness of a daihatsu charade, etc.

Nah, previous model. Don't care for the shape.

This one.

By all acounts, though, since the original R32 the performance and handling has gotten progressively worse in each generation, up till and including that one. The new one is the first one which lives up to the standards and 'drive' of the original.
If you're buying an R32 you have to be doing it for the performance, otherwise you may as well buy a standard golf.

SS has had the privilege of driving all these cars in their glorified condition. Immaculate. Yay

But I'm guessing it would have been only a comfort drive, nothing show true capabilities of the car, such as handling and performance.

Speaking of cars, I'm about to list my 3rd owned car.

First was a 1983 Honda Civic
Then my Toyota Corolla Ceres 1995

Then Kirsts same model, but with better engine, 20V 4AGE, lowered, pod filter and powder coated wheels instead of caps.

I sold my previous one for $2k in February. Hopefully will get a bit more for this one.
