Update on this: Still have the 330 in my garage. Still haven't been paid out for either. But I've come to a conclusion to what I want. My commute is about 22km or about 20mins +/- 5min depending on traffic. It's not terrible. It was terrible yesterday cause of an accident on the Alex Fraser.

I had a 2017 Corolla as a courtesy car for a week. I'm surprised. Well it's a corolla, but I'm surprised that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) proved so useful. RS member, AstulzerRZD, also my friend who commutes in Seattle, Toronto, New York, etc mentioned that ACC is basically the best thing ever - it totally takes the stress off driving. I didn't really get it until I tried it.

Leads me to my next thing, I think the ideal one car does all car would be a..... Golf R. I haven't decided between manual or DSG, but I heard with DSG it basically goes to stop by it self and starts by itself. Golf R owners chime in?

I would also consider any other fun car with decent ACC/lane centering.

My fun car choices are now: E90 M3, 987 Cayman S, or a cheap rebuilt frs for the track LOL. But I'll most likely get a Golf R to daily in first.

FA5 still understeers like a mofo. Drove the same one to a camping trip this past summer. Guess I went into the corner too hot or well thinking it'd be ok cause its ok in my 330, but nope, tons of understeer. I ironically think understeer is more terrifying than oversteer.
