I had a 18 Golf R for daily. Paid for. I bought a new GTS 4.0 for weekend car. A short time later, I traded in my Golf R for Macan S with 9k miles on it. I ended up giving the Macan to my wife and bought a MK8 Golf R. I missed the Golf R as my daily. It’s the best!! It’s ok to go back.

[@jasons7764]

Another good daily would be an 2021 - 23 M340I with low miles. Someone’s already taken the big depreciation hit. If I had to switch right now, that’s what I’d get.

I'm an Audi RS3 lover , I get that you don't want a high car note, I think that was the real main issue you had with the car, that being said maybe you should get a used Tesla model S 75 D awd 2018-2021 are in the $30k and less range. 518 hp . The only issue would be taking long distance trips because it's travel range is 259 miles , but that shouldn't be an issue since you want it for a daily.

[@edgarbarranco2318]

I've been following your channel for a couple of years. Love the videos man. Back in Dec 2023, I traded in my 2017 MK7 R (530 bhp and all 034 motorsports suspension catalog, wheels, etc) for a 2024 Audi RS3. My Golf R was waaay faster than my RS3. I ran 10.9 quarter mile passes a few times with the R. Hell, my RS3 feels like a Camry compared to my Golf R lol. However, I know for a FACT that once the 8Y's ECU is unlocked, the RS3 will be on a different level. Just Stage 1 will bring my RS3 power to the R's territory without so many modificatios. I know you don't really modify your vehicles, but I would wait at least until ECU is unlocked and do Stage 1. Also, I agree 100% with you regarding the lack of low-end torque and weird RPMs on the RS3. All that will be sorted out by the tuners. It usually takes about 3 years for tuners to develop their software on new platforms. 8Ys ECU is very different than 8Vs. 8Y came out towards the end of 2021. We should be very close 😉

Absolutely not. I just made a video on 5 reasons why I love my m2, and the ZF 8 speed is one of them. No interest in a manual at all

[@Gonin60]

I wouldn’t worry about the perception of going back to a GTI or Golf R. Sometimes cars work out and sometimes they don’t. No on the Kia. I understand the Mercedes and BMW. I understand the Tesla but don’t like it but that’s my personal opinion. Based on your criteria go with a GR Corolla or GTI. Hyundai Elantra N I think is a good choice but I know you struggle with the octane learning. I think you like something fun with some personality. The other cars are cruisers and comfortable but I think they will bore you.

I've driven both the Tesla model 3 single motor and the BMW 330i and they're both good cars but dull as dish water. I bought a '23 M240i at a substantial discount, skipped the freight/pdi, and got a great daily in exchange. A lot more $ than my mk8 GTI, but one of the best daily drivers on offer.

[@JVette01]

Thanks for your input. I already have '24 M2, so for me, to get an M lite "DD" doesn't really make sense. Besides, it's out of the budget I set for myself on a used car.

[@toddstevens8506]

@@JVette01 Yeah, probably too expensive unless you go a few years back, but it's a better daily, more low/mid range torque and a softer ride. It's just that the B58/ZF combo is awesome for the street.

Yes. The DSG shifts very early in both cars but the golf r has a more punchy low end and it’s smooth throughout the power band. Unlike the rs3 where it’s nothing, then BOOM at 3500rpm

I used to have 2020 Forte GT with 6 speed manual. Great car, has good torque. I used Racechip GTS on it and it significantly improved acceleration. I was neck and neck with 2 door G35. One thing to keep in mind is you dont get turbo power untill the engine reaches operating temp, which might take a few minutes after you start driving

[@JVette01]

Thanks for the info!

[@vadim7131]

​@@JVette01 No problem 👍

[@Symphoniics]

I owned a 2021 Forte GT for 3 years and LOVED it. I had zero major issues the entire time. Only minor issue I had was once or twice a year, no sound would come out of the speakers but disconnecting and reconnecting the fuse or turning the car off and on again solved it. Anyway, the Forte GT is an amazing daily driver, especially with the GT2 package. Also, the way it is geared, it is very torquey even compared to my Elantra N. Ultimately, I do think it is too slow for what you want tho. You didn’t include this one but the Elantra N is an interesting choice too because it would solve your RS3 too sluggish/too fast problem. The EN is very quick around town as it is. Sometimes, you do need to downshift to get that torque you want but, unlike the RS3, it isn’t too fast once you downshift. It is also surprisingly peppy across the different modes. Even Eco gets the jump on most regular traffic. If it weren’t for the slightly dated technology, I’d suggest a used RC 350 or IS 350. They’re a bit boaty but they’re almost as fast as the BMW 330i, they have some surprising luxury creature comforts, and the ride is comfy af (I test drove one last year).

Call me crazy but I think a Mazda 3 turbo sedan or hb is a great daily driver. Looks good, has great low end torque, very good interior, great sound system, decent fuel economy, just it's a small car but overall I think it's a great daily. But it needs to be the turbo model, new ones are about 36-38k I think.

[@JVette01]

That’s a good option tbh!

[@alexbuiii]

consider investing in ISweep brake pads for your g87. I have the isweep 1500’s and my wheels still look clean after over 600 miles of driving, no squeak, and the lower dust also keeps the back half of the car way cleaner too. you really won’t regret the initial investment and makes keeping the car clean such a breeze! Also the 330 is a much better daily compared to the c300. I owned a W205 C63S before my G87 and the interior rattles are super noticeable compared to G chassis cars

The Tesla model 3 isn’t a bad idea if you’re looking for a daily driver. They aren’t crazy expensive (in my area there’s a 10k tax write off if you buy an EV) They have a very relaxed drive but can be fast in a straight line with instant torque. Pretty much everything you’d want with a daily

Happy to throw my suggestion in- I have not long got my mk8 golf R and it's the best daily I have ever had however I was torn between that and the the m340d which I test drove and blew me away. It has crazy low end torque, used prices are decent, plenty fast enough and absolutely crazy mpg!! If it was me I would be ruling out the crazy expensive ones like the S5 etc as think you may end up back in the same position as you are now.

c43 or a tesla performance m3 i would recommend, c43 is kinda mid 30 40s but would be good almost like a m340i but more torque i would think

[@ms3ben]

I still say tesla dual motor is king for your situation and requirements; however, how about a "wild card" option - 2025 GR Corolla automatic? It's getting power/tq in 2025 awd, 3-banger good on gas, and uses a torque converter auto, should be very good! Will hold it's value as well. Maybe a little out of your price range, as you did bring up the 25' S3 and R options...

[@MikeBowlby]

I have a 24 RS3, and 24 Model Y Performance. I was against the whole EV at first but it's a great daily. Probably the most comfortable car I ever drove in traffic too.

My thoughts on having two cars...one is the fun car, used in nice weather, and high performance (2024 BMW M2 is what I have); two is the daily driver, used in all weather, can carry 4 people comfortably, OK performance, quiet. In my case, I have the 2018 Honda Accord Touring 2.0 turbo (bought new in late 2017) which has a stage 1 tune (+6 psi) from Hondata. I bought it new for $35K and it still only has 26K miles. Now for you...keep the M2 (wonderful car) and go with an electric car, whether it be Tesla, Kia, Chevy, whatever. Charge it at work so you don't need a fancy charger in your garage. 200+ miles of range and with dual motors, plenty of power. The only other semi-electric cars that I like are possibly a plug-in hybrid, which will give you about 35-40 miles on electricity and plenty of range to run around town before the motor kicks on. It also gives you the dual option of being able to drive out of town and not worry about looking for a place to charge your electric car. Of course you are limited in plug-in hybrids...Prius comes to mind.I have a friend who has a Ford plug-in hybrid and he runs one tank of gas per year with it, strictly in-town use.

Tesla’s have that feel of a jet taking off plus you’ll learn a lot about EVs and why not… the future is going EV! U have an ICE car already… so have the best of both worlds! I like the brake regen when hitting the canyons as it allows me to focus more on my driving without really using the brakes… and with brake regen you’ll be hardly using the brakes anyway and this gives you a new level of control. A lot of people use the brakes too much (coming from ICE cars) on a Tesla when tracking and they overheat unless u upgrade them… when they should time the approach into the curves with the regen and slingshot out of the apex taking advantage of the instant torque. Ice cars you would use heel-and-toe shifting before entry into a turn while a vehicle is under braking, preparing the transmission to be in the optimal range of rpm to accelerate out of the turn. I drove many cars and honestly the Tesla is my favorite. I can’t stand the sound of 4 cylinders (yeah I know why it’s like that… I built a few cars) with modified exhaust systems… reminds me of the maintenance crew here with their leaf blowers. The RS3 (half V10) has a beautiful sound that’s for sure. The Supra purrs nicely as well. To bad you’re not getting the new M3P that hits 627 HP (kW discharge rate) when optimally charged and preconditioned… then you’d be beating most cars like a red headed stepchild ;)

Nice suggestion. Stay tuned for what I chose

[@chrism869]

Pretty nice choices to be honest, maybe except fot the forte gt, it is a bit meh imo. The new model 3 is a pretty nice choice cause its quiet, has instant torque and pretty quick if you go for the dual motor one.

[@TrulyBlueArchive]

if the facelifted Golf R is coming then buy it but wait did u sold the Golf R?

[@JVette01]

It's definitely coming. Just not sure when haha. Edit: Yes, I sold it a couple months ago. Very bad decision

[@ms3ben]

Ive brought this up to you before, and I know you aren't a fan of Tesla, but the new 2024 Tesla 3 performance as a daily driver is the best bang for the buck out there currently imo. I understand you'd want to lease due to potential price cuts and depreciation, which I get and is a valid concern, but there's also the $7500 rebate available, and if you order this month there is 1.9% apr / 72 months. People warming the battery first and with a good charge are running 0-60 in 2.8, 10.8sec ET@ 126mph in the 1/4, and 60-130 well into the 8sec range on street surfaces. Turns and stops decently as well. Excellent visibility, compliant, quiet ride and next level tech. If you hate the haptic turn signal buttons, there is now a turn signal stalk retrofit available. I honesty cant stand most EV's, Elon Musk or Tesla either, but daily a Tesla S Paid and freakin love it! Performance gas cars/toys are for the weekend. The new Tesla M3P is quite hot right now, and should do well on your channel.

[@williebrown1974]

Why can't you stand Elon?

[@annenominous7220]

Electric go karts are great if you never DRIVE! When it takes 2 to 3 full days to go from Detroit to Washington DC... and any gas powered car can do it in 10 hours... well, that says it all.

[@JVette01]

I didn’t know you commute from Detroit to Washington DC everyday.

[@willneverstop]

You should get a CT4 V - blackwing bro

[@JVette01]

No, too expensive and it doesn’t perform that well for the price

[@vadim7131]

​​​@@JVette01 CT4-V Blackwing is one of the most , if not the most fun to drive sports sedan on the market currently. Its lighter and more agile and nimble than CT5-V BW. Different reviewers said its more fun than the M3. CT4-V BW has better shifter, better steering and handling than M3, and similar acceleration to 6 spd manual M3. Magnetic ride control is also superior to BMW

[@JVette01]

I’m sure it’s a great car and I’d love to drive it, but too expensive as a daily

[@vadim7131]

​@@JVette01 👍

[@blackfish4674]

​@vadim7131 have you driven one?

[@Veyronp87]

you're gonna laugh but an EV- hard to beat as a daily. low maintenance, charge at home, instant torque. and would offset the M2 as a high performance ICE car nicely

[@JVette01]

I have an open mind so I’m not opposed to something like that!

[@dalemenna5653]

Used Stinger GT? JB4 it with AWD and you’re trapping in the 11s, comfortable

[@JVette01]

Not bad

[@racer247]

Gas mileage, tho

[@fzr1000981]

Let us know what you sell the RS3 for....should be close to what you paid. My daily is an Accord V6! Stone reliable and I tow mountain bikes and jet ski with it, dont need fancy screens (that tend to go bad). If you buy a Tesla buy used, you save a TON

[@JVette01]

Thanks for the suggestion. Everything will be outlined in future videos so stay tuned

[@Cruise_RS]

I would suggest a Hyundai i30N but idk if they were brought to the USA, its a competitor of the GTI that you loved they come in A/T or M/T

[@sage4521]

Curveball but a Volvo S60 T6 from like 2021. Has a supercharger and turbocharger. Great torque and such a sleeper. Upgraded to a mark 8 golf R tho

[@JVette01]

Those are pretty cool. I tested out a V60 that was pretty nice

How about a certified used Q50, TLX. Japanese gang! 🤘

[@RaceCarFriends]

Honestly brother I highly recommend you get a new FL5 Honda Civic Type R if you can get it at MSRP or an Acura Integra Type S, but if you're looking to save money and have the best of both worlds I recommend you get a new VW Jetta GLI, or even a GR Corolla.

[@mattdino7260]

There’s talks of a limited edition/spectrum series 8.5 Golf R. I would lease a Tesla M3 and wait to see what VW comes out with. I wouldn’t bother with the Forte GT - (I owned one) No LSD, has a pretty harsh ride for its class to make for a comfortable daily. I now own a Mk8 GTI S DSG, phenomenal car all around.

[@JVette01]

Great choice! Yes I’ll see what comes out

[@vebalasvegas31]

GTI has a great low end torque around town and for road trip gti is way to go gas mileage..get the Tesla if you just want daily driving and not planning to take for road trip..

[@JVette01]

Thanks for the suggestions, Venz!

Dual motor!!! Because the stereo system is ten times better than the short range. But the downside is not Car play or android auto.

[@JVette01]

Maybe! Stay tuned

i hate to see this - I love the rs3 myself - but yea , in stock form it sucks - in my behalf I owned a stage 3 last gen and been testing the 8y - aka I'm a tuner / texas mile event driver - anywho I would say if u want something new - try the 2025 IONIQ 5 N - I really not a big fan of ev's but this car stands out - and it gives u everything (somewhat)

[@JVette01]

Considered that but too expensive and I don’t need a car that fast for a daily

[@chrism869]

the range on the ioniq 5n is abysmal tho

[@jorgerojas3424]

New M3P or used VW Arteon. Very roomy and comfortable with the golf r motor.

[@Daniel-tx2vt]

Those Golf R/GTIs are hard to beat when it comes to daily driving, fun performance, mpg, and reliability all on in one. Maybe the Tesla model 3 performance?

[@tonyt858]

Pre owned otherwise get a Tesla or GTI. GTI is more economic than the R with pritty good performance. Daily driver should be economic

[@JVette01]

Agreed

[@ronniesosin3265]

Tesla model 3 would be a good daily in my opinion 😊

[@Nate-Aims]

Civic type R would be fun and cheap!

[@JVette01]

Not necessarily cheap haha. 40k for a late model low mileage one

[@Nate-Aims]

@@JVette01 cheap maintenance wise!

[@blakekoval]

Get the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla with the automatic transmission when it comes out.

[@Bigguns761]

I think the tesla would make more sens for you'r need of a daily. Although these bmw B58 have great gaz economy, with m240i xdrive I can do 40 MPG on the highway if I'm gentle with it, since it has low end torque, the RPM is super low on the highway so very economic. I had a civic DX-G 2010 before and I think they have the same gaz consumption on the highway. The civic was at around 3400 RPM at 120 km/h while the bmw is a 1700 RPM.

[@JVette01]

Great idea

[@Denileism]

I wouldn’t get any luxury vehicle for a daily and definitely not used. Maintenance is gonna be problematic. Now if it was your only car sure but doubling down when you have an amazing fun car on the side is probably gonna be tough. But hey if you got the money then don’t listen to anything I said lol 😂

[@JVette01]

I wanna do what makes sense. The RS3 didn’t make sense haha

[@darkzmith3732]

Just wait for the new mk8.5 r or gti and work with that they are gonna be a ton of fun stock and easy to mod and keep it a daily

It's not hard to find a dealer that will sell it at MSRP these days. Maybe when the 8.5 just comes out, they will be a little harder to get for sticker, but it's not that hard tbh.
