I am currently driving a Subaru. I love their cars, but I must return to my German roots.

Welcome to the site! Everyone comes back to their germany roots sooner or later :headbang:

newbie here, I'm converting from 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. Previous to this I had the 98 Integra GSR v-tec. I've always wanted a GTI. I've had mine for 2 weeks and it's been awesome. the car is just so fun to drive. Now I'm making up excuses to run errands to the market for crying out loud. My wife think's I'm nuts.

Here's my list of cars:

96 Kia Sephia - traded for Alero
00 Oldsmobile Alero - Started having too many problems
03 Chevy Monte Carlo SS - Still not sure why I bought this car/traded for WRX
03 Subaru WRX - totaled by some kid driving his mom's car :mad:
01 Turbo Lexus IS300 - waiting to see if insurance company says it's totaled or not :confused:

If the Lex is totaled I'm going to purchase a MkV GTI & mod the heck out of it :thumbup: .

prior vehicle= wrx wagon (totalled)
present vehicles=
05 subaru legacy outback 2.5 turbo and the 06 gti.
first time driving a volkswagen. at first it was the other half's idea but when i drove the gti i couldn't believe how well it felt. from the shifting of the gears to the fit and finish. feels very nice and solid. not to mention the fun to drive factor.
05 subaru for the kids (our two dogs) and the 06 gti when we are by ourselves.
