Nice! Starting to lean more toward listing mine for sale soon. Great for me and my wife, but not as user-friendly or fun for my 5 year old daughter.

RJ, does your FJ62 have AC? PM me. Asking for a friend who’s interested. :thumbsup:

I saw a civic type R today. It was awesome looking but really really quiet. I want either a CTR or a Subaru STI, but the lack of sound on the civic was really disappointing.

I was taking about an exaust on the civic type r. It’s remarkably silent. The STI is fine stock, and much louder than the type R.

You can still buy Mondials for super cheap. Have a feeling that won't always be the case.

It is challenging to make a Turbo inline 4 sound good so manufacturers tend to keep them quiet with the stock exhaust and pipe "enhanced" noise into the cabin. VW's turbo 4's probably sound the best. My 328i wagon's 2.0T sounds pretty bland compared to my old GTI.

Subaru uses the boxer 4 which has a unique cool sound so they can do more with the exhaust.

The EJ257 in the STI has an unequal length header which makes it sound aggressive. The FA20DIT in the wrx has an equal length header, so it sounds a lot less cool.

The veloster type r equivalent sounds badass.

I wish I could just get an Audi rs4 but they’re so expensive.

You're talking about a used RS4? There's no RS4 in Audi's current lineup.

Take a look at the RS3. Very cool car but also fairly expensive. I just picked up a new S3 which makes for a great daily driver. Good mix of performance and practicality.

B7 RS4 is still a great car. Back when Audi was shoe-horning V8s into everything lol.

New RS3 is nice. Wish they came here in hatch version.

Actually, I was thinking of the RS3. The A4 platform is too big for my needs. The S3 is really nice, but if I'm getting a VW group car with the 2.0T/DSG combo it would be a Golf R (which my wife hates). The five cylinder turbo motor is my main draw to the RS3.

I checked out the Golf R too. Not really a fan of the styling, couldn't stomach paying $42K plus a $5K dealer markup for a VW (got to love the Bay Area!), and my past experience with VW service was less than positive. The RS3 is a bit hardcore for a DD for me, but it would be a fun weekend car.

I wish they offered more engine options. The 4.0t is pretty awesome, but pretty old as well.

That looks pretty amazing. However, if you can't afford a new one (which I can't), I don't think you can afford a used one either - these cars are so complicated and expensive to fix.

I dumped the Defender, as I could not deal with the “unpredictable coolness” of the Beast. It broke down one too many (three times in a month) times for me.

I picked up a 2013 XTerra Pro 4X with low kms. My RTT mounts well, new BFG KO2’s...should be good for some camping trips!

Jeeps and Rovers are so cool...but I wouldn't touch them because of the reliability. In off-road vehicles I'd always go Japanese.

Also put KO2's on the Suzuki since the pic above :-)
