Not saying you should buy one, but test driving is a fun experience. I may get a GTI as my next DD.

I don't deny that they are probably fun/fast cars, it's just not a part of the market segment I am interested in. I like the corvettes/vipers for numerous reasons not the subject of this thread. For a DD, I just care that it has a good sound system and claimate control. Give me my Z06 or a Viper for a fun car, and I will DD whatever as long as it meets the above criteria. Right now I DD a 2002 Infiniti G20, lol.
If I ever move where it snows, I would give a used EVO/STi/WRX some serious though, and I wouldn't care if it were a hatch or not. It's a DD and if I found a hatch I would buy it, if a 4-door, then that. If I found both, whichever cost less/was in better shape.
