Golf R. I previously have owned a GTI, MS3 and STI hatch. I think I just enjoy the versatility of having a hatchback a lot.

As mentioned, I felt it was too much power for the chassis. Some cars really take a lot of power and make it seem more effortless or controlled. The M2 at anything more than 50% throttle feels like it wants to lose it's rear end. Fun for some. Just not for me.

I drove my 1st Gen MS3 from new to 150k with a turbo-back, FMIC and tune. It never actually blew up on me but I read too many forums, panicked and sold it. Oddly, I think the car is still around today, 10 years later. Curious what it's life has been like.
