Hatchbacks FTW

[@Gonin60]

Yes sir! Equivalent to the Triple Take

[@RaceCarFriends]

Aww man you know I had to jump in on this one!

[@Gonin60]

Thanks buddy!

[@RaceCarFriends]

@@Gonin60 No problem you're welcome brother.

[@jrock-xs9vp]

I miss your WRX videos I'm still rocking my 22 wrx . Thanks for your VW videos can't wait to see the 10 k review

[@Gonin60]

Thanks man!

[@kao9379]

People want the WRX in a hatch and they just refuse to give us what we want. Toyota GR is now the King. Subaru blew it.

[@Gonin60]

I tend to agree with you!

[@omarmuhyar2005]

How does the R compare in the snow to the WRX?

[@Gonin60]

It does well but the Wrx I feel is better since it’s symmetrical AWD

[@omarmuhyar2005]

@@Gonin60 Makes sense. I also live in Utah and regularly drive up Big Cottonwood to Brighton. Want a sporty upgrade from my Impreza in a few years and probably do a VB WRX just for the snow traction.

[@rinodoog]

The mk8R with the new awd… very comparable. Drift mode + all the driving assist off.. very fun!

[@rinodoog]

@@Gonin60I had 5 wrx before mon 2024 R. 2 fun cars.. but the R is better in every way…

[@kradios09]

As a volkswagen fanatic (I've owned 7 glis, gtis, golf rs etc) that recently bought a vb wrx, most of your points are what actually puts the Golf R in a completely different price bracket.

[@Gonin60]

Yeah that’s fair

[@kradios09]

@@Gonin60 I feel like if the STI wasn't killed off it would be up there with the golf R in creature comforts these days. A friend that is deciding between vb and mk8 asked me to describe it the other day. The mk8 is definitely nicer, quieter and more comfort oriented, the wrx is a more fun drivers car. This is gti vs wrx though, the golf r is in a different stratosphere and stomps the wrx

[@Gonin60]

@@kradios09 agreed!

[@RaceCarFriends]

As someone who has made a similar move I approve this message lol.

[@Gonin60]

Hahaha let’s go!

[@bmanboogie]

Is the WRX gone?

[@Gonin60]

It is

[@bmanboogie]

@@Gonin60 How about the GR86?

[@OOOnanana]

WRX looks better in my eyes... has that aggressive look and more clearance. Important since I bought it as an mtb rig but has become my daily. 4 series taking the back seat. Golf R still dope.

[@Gonin60]

Thanks!

[@vr6gls]

In what world does the VB WRX look better than the Golf R? The plastic cladding is absolutely hideous and cheapens the overall look of the car.
