The m2 is probably the best there is on top of the GR and type R. But frankly, the GR feels like an old STI except an even less nice interior, and the Type R is just insanely priced for most buyers. |

For me, the low-rent interior is a feature not a bug. I have big dogs and I don't want to have to care if they're dripping snot on the leather I don't have
It's also right-sized, the interior is like exactly the same inside for me and my body type/seating position preferences, as an E90. I can reach the back seat and such - one of my big bitches with newer cars is just how huge most of them are compared to even my E90 which wasn't tiny back when it came out. Like, I am eye level with the door handles of an Accord in the E90. Yeesh. The corolla hatch is at least kinda still a compact, even if it's also 30% bigger than a corolla from 25 years ago

Fair points - I’ve just accepted having the nail scratches from my vizsla on the soft m3 leather….
It’s too bad the latest golfs seem so boring to me. It’s such a great daily package, and an R has sufficient power and performance nowadays. They just don’t do it for me the same as a civic type r. |

FL5 Type R certainly seems interesting but have you actually driven one? But also if we get a Type R while keeping the M3, they’ll both serve a similar purpose practically…, if adding a 2nd sporty car would it not make sense to get something more sporty/less practical than the M3? Like.., ND2 Miata or a Cayman of some sort? I currently have My e92 M3 & a 981 Cayman S, both 6MT. Cayman feels special like a sports car should, if I drive it twice a week, anymore frequently & it starts feeling “normal” plus driving the M3 after the Cayman, M3 feels too soft & not sharp enough! Just don’t feel like paying so much for the Cayman if I don’t drive it much.. therefore entertaining the thought of replacing the Cayman with a Miata or Type R.. |
