        I love everything about this car except the comfort level could be a little better. It’s a great looking car inside & out. It’s fast, holds the road like you wouldn’t believe. We got the last year of the 6spd manual transmission & Kings Red color ❤️…

        Really fun to drive and agile

        by ejhc11 on 10/7/2024 10:49:12 PM

        I normally drive a lumbering SUV but had an itch for a manual tranny car since my last one was 20+ years ago. I test drove the VW GTI 380 S once and was hooked. Power and agility is phenomenal. It handles so well on the summer tires and the acceleration is so much fun when you're shifting with a clutch pedal. Yes, it's more work but the engagement is so much fun, even when you miss shift there's no computer algorithm to help you. And, 2024 is the last year of a manual tranny so I went for it. My version has everything I need except proximity door sensors, you still need to use the remote to lock/unlock doors and no wireless Apple car play. Those are my gripes. My infotainment is the smaller display unit and it still has a physical volume and tuning knob. I didn't have too much trouble with the capacitive touch, it's more sensitive than buttons for sure but not that big of a problem as others have mentioned. It's definitely a fun car for me and brings a lot of memories of driving my sister's hand me down 1980's avocado colored 4 SPD manual Rabbit...lol This was one car in my area I could get under MSRP, the Toyota GR Cross was definitely not. With the savings I added a Borla exhaust and now has a bit more character to it...…
