While my "other cars" were/are a heavily modified 2005 Yamaha FJR1300 and a Suzuki GSXR750 motored 1995 Bandit, before getting a 2015 R, my wife and I had a 2002 DOHC VR6 Jetta GLI that we lovingly drove for over 12 years--a really nice sporty little sedan, but nowhere near as fun as the R. My, that was an incredibly long sentence!

My daily driver was a 2013 Scirocco (140 DSG) but I also drive a Renault Megane Coupe (although it's currently in bits)

This March 2017 Car & Driver article on the 2017 GTI Manual sums up why we've all ended up driving what we do.

"We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Volkswagen Golf GTI is as fun to drive as many sports cars, as comfortable as many luxury sedans, and as spacious as many small SUVs. It really is the whole package."

I had a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I actually loved that car but it was a lease and I wanted something with more space. Here's a picture of the day I grounded my lease and dropped her off.

I'm mostly done with bikes for many reasons, the last one I rode was a JAWA 884, if anyone knows what that is. A clue is the bike has phenominal acceleration if one has the kahoonas to nail it ....

Here are the "fun" ones. Though my first car was a 1998 Grand Caravan and it likely was the most fun, nobody wants to see that. Most were modified quite a bit, listing the highlights. Currently I own a 2016 GTI PP LP and 2006 Mini Cooper S JCW, don't have good photos of either.

-2009 Mazdaspeed 3 - First car I modified. Cobb stage 2, Volk TE37.
-2008 R32 - Good car, very slow, and lots of DSG issues.
-2008 STI - Fully built and balanced with forged internals, GTX3076, AST4100 coilovers.
-2005 Elise - Supercharged, Nitron coilovers. Amazing.
-1988 M5 - Really should not have sold this...
-2004 M3 - Or this. Ohlins R&T, Volk ZE40, and tons of maintenance.
-2007 RS4 - Very special car despite the understeer, miss it.
-2010 GTI - Great DD, just APR tuned.
-1997 M3 - Always wanted a Techno Violet M car.
-2001 323i - Really cool hauler, wanted to S54 swap eventually.
