Ready to race!
I apologize if this is in the wrong spot, but I’m facing a midlife dilemma (not quite a crisis). I love my GTI. With the EQT S1 tune my only regret is I don’t get to drive it enough.
That being said, both of my kids are in boosters and we will be getting a dog soon that will eventually grow into a 60 lb med/large dog. When the dog is fully grown, it’s likely the GTI will just be too small for my family, Even with a roof box, the dog crate will take up all of the boot/trunk, and it’s just not going to be practical I don’t think. I’ve got about 18 months to decide, but right now it looks like I’ll need to be ready to move into something else.
Here‘s the question I pose to all of you. What comes after my GTI? Ideally, I want to be at:
-$30k or less (prefer to pay cash minus trade, not finance)
-no older than a 3 yr old vehicle
-less than 40k miles
-FUN to drive
-Significantly more cargo room than GTI
Is there anything in that range that’s close to as fun as the GTI but with more room? I greatly prefer something with a hatch, so hatch/wagon/suv. Initial thoughts are possibly an Alltrack with a tune (not sure it adds that much extra room?). I’m kind of stumped here.
