Then save up some funds to go ahead and get a R if not something else. if the R winds up checking most if not all the boxes - then trade in the Z. My main fear is trading in my Z and then having complete buyers remorse afterwards and not being able to get my original car back (at least that is what the family tells me will happen haha).

In term of performance, out of the box the R performance is up there with the Z or better. If I want a full performance of the R, I drive in Race mode. My R has DSG. It has a launch control, and it's a fun feature. Personally, the R suspension is better than the stock Z. It got 4 wheel drive system. Also, I can switch suspension settings at the push of a button. The stock break is very good. It also has all the latest safety features. I love the active cruise control when I’m in the traffic. As for the look, the Z looks great, but the R is just a basic hatch back, 4 doors without a big wing and busy lines. It's growing on me each day of driving. It’s a real sleeper :tup:. Interior is great with virtual digital cockpit.

For me, the R checked all the boxes on my list. Now, it's my daily drive, including weekend, and my Z has become a garage queen. Like many suggested, the best way is to test drive one, trying both manual and DSG.

It seems like you prefer AWD over RWD(which I believe is a huge factor in choosing the Z over an R) so I think a Golf R would be a better fit and it seems like you are wanting more power which will be easier to get out of the R. I have driven countless AWD turbo cars(EVO,WRX,Golf R) because the feeling of wanting something different but honestly I just love the handling of a car with a good RWD system with no electronic nannies to assist me. Dont get me wrong all those AWD turbo cars are fun to drive and I understand why others would like it over the Z but like others have said here what DO YOU want in a car?
