Sweet looking ride! Too bad it had to go; hope you got many an awesome mile out of her! Was the GTI worth it?
I just got the GTI so can't say if it was worth it. The GTI is a different car.
When I first got the Nissan it was a weekend car and I always loved driving it during weekends, car meets, etc. Then my dd died on me, so the the Nissan became my daily, and it was horrible. manual in traffic gave my left foot cramps, driving over pot holes and speed bumps were a nightmare, and the loud exhaust meant constant attention from the police. And 6 months ago my wife and I had a baby and as you can imagine the car was just useless with baby transport and grocery getting.
I'm hoping my 4 door DSG GTI will change that. Fun to drive during the week and weekends
