His maintenance is very high
i wont be doing any engine mods. maybe axle-back at most if there's such a thing offered on the MS3. will do swifts, spacers, maybe front splitter.

I would not have any other HOT hatch. Well I did have an Abarth 500 that was sweet as well

Kenchan go test drive the GTI - the overall quality will impress you. Compared to being in the Z its a sound booth, so quiet and solid. I never test drove 1. I bought it and had it shipped over. Man what a great surprise in terms of quality and performance. GO FOR IT!!!

Plus the Top Gear review was the deal sealer for me. There are faster cars, but the GTI is still the BEST Hot Hatch. All others wish they were a GTI. It has been a TOP 10 best car in Motor Trend for years and is again to boot.

Oh I did wash and drive the Z today...since this is the daily what did you do with your Z thread lol
i test drove the previous gen gti and it was nice. it was more like a regular car with regular sporty sedan feel imho. it was nice inside and quieter and a plush ride.

on the Z washing and driving. ive only looked at my Z this am.
