Yeah 2011 sonata 6.6s 0-60 just saw the video
I think your friend should get the golf 2.5 MKVI
I've driven both the gti and the golf and I feel like the golf is more refined and sounds better, if he's not into modding the golf still packs a decent punch with 170hp
I would suggest the diesel but theirs quite the wait list. You can probably get the 2.5 loaded for 30k tax in. Might not have gps though but has that little multimedia center thingy that my cousin has in his, looks good, i don't see the point haha
