Best car I’ve owned and driven

The car meets a perfect speed standard for specific drivers, if you want power when you need to pass somebody or just got a nice long road you want to open it up on, you can do it, very well if I must say, the 2.0t is a amazing motor overall, so many different things you can do with it power wise, just overall a great balance

car, butttt your back seat is not the best in a 2 door, which is what I have lol, oh well
