Drove the new R32 tonight

And i give it a solid MEH!

What I liked:
-Interior quality was decent, colorful at night and nicely laid out
-Very nice seats,comfy and supportive though a bit hard
-Exhaust note was spectacular..much like the old R32--love the sound.
-looks pretty nice though there could be a little less wheel gap
-has a little pep..though less than I thought it would have.
-Engine sounds great at WOT
-Love the feel of a german car..solid.

Dislikes:
-I think I'm in the minority..but DSG bored me. Sure it's the best "automatic" i have ever driven (i know it's not really an auto)..but I like to row my own gears. It shifts very quickly..big whoop.
-Very harsh ride..the 335 can HANDLE and ride nice..the r32 didn't ride very nice..u feel every bump.
-$34k? No thank you.

I'd save 10k and get a Mazdaspeed3 if i needed a car like that.

Too bad..I really wanted to like it.
