So they finally make a Miata that isn't strictly for chicks and soy boys and they give it less HP than a Civic?

Those are retrofit, focused HID kits. Allows me to have fully adjustable beams, hi-beams, and looks cool as fuck (imo). Uses stock wiring harness to the ballast too!

How is the inside room on that...vs the 60? I only have sat in the new 90 and it was glorious, but too much $$... haven't sat in the new 60 or this new 40 yet... saw one at the dealer as i drove to work- looked cool...not as small as the pics seem to indicate.

Since I never did end up buying the other car, I am currently eyeballing one of these. Nice and understated with some added functionality as a daily-driver.
18' Golf R w/ DSG
(Random picture, but one I am looking at is the same 'Indium Grey' color.
This was another consideration. That Volvo program is pretty enticing.

Yeah it's defintiely on the small side in terms of SUVs. My wife has a CRV and it's a bit smaller than that I think. Smaller than say an Audi Q5, it competes with the Q3.
Inside is amazing, it's almost too nice. But I'm coming from a Kia Optima hah. Plenty of room for me, my wife and 2 kids 10 and 6.
700 a month for the R Design subscription but that includes insurance and maintenance plus some other things. 600 a month for the Momentum trim.

The R's price vs the GTI is kinda absurd. But last I looked, unless you are open to doing mods yourself, it's the way to go if you like aggressive zoom zoom. I'd still much prefer the v6 in the R instead of the GTI's turbo'd 4. But the R32 suffered a bunch of issues in the US including vapor lock seeming behavior in hot climates because of insufficient shielding of fuel lines from hot area's when you design a v6 in a tiny engine bay in cool europe then import to the US.....
The DSG is wonderful and almost enough reason alone, though I'm not sure what it's feel is like on a turbo vs a NA.

While it's got some minor advantages, ultimately it was the aesthetics.
It's just so damn pretty

Hopefully the A7 doesn't suffer from the same god awful throttle response my new S5 has, but I don't think it does since it uses a double clutch tranny instead of the 8 speed ZF used in the S series.
Fucking throttle lag blows in the new S4/S5's unless you drive it in Dynamic-S all the time, in which case you get about 15mpg. Dunno wtf Audi was thinking.
