The 370Z doesn't baby.

I have seen first hand the production of a VW (worked on their production line) and I will never buy one except for the R line since they are special productions that are given a lot more care than the typical VW.

That being said a Golf R is in your price range, and I believe they got a nice power bump this year.

Were you in Germany? I was under the impression that all GTIs and Rs were made in VWs Wolfsburg plant.

I would second the R as the sti alternative. I personally find it more family friendly. If you don't need awd then I'd recommend the GTI to save some money.

Nope notice I said I wouldn't buy one other than the R. Anything built in Wolfsburg is good by me. I was in the states. On another note though all Golfs and GTIs are now made in Mexico. The Golf R I believe is still in Wolfsburg.

I got PTSD from dealing with a VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition around 11 years ago and I'm still not over it. That car cost me more to fix than my payments plus insurance over my ownership term. Complete piece of garbage inside and out.

The only part on that car that didn't break was the check engine light. I damn near replaced everything else.
