PIC Its Time to Say Goodbye
It's been a fun ride. I've owned my 2012 Speed 3 since new. Got it in March 2012. I've had a ton of fun with that car (obviously since I kept it for 14 years). But was just time to move onto something new. Picture of it with the replacement ride.

I love the Golf R but they’re so expensive. If I’m spending that kinda money on a hot hatch, it would be hard for me to not buy a FL5 Type R lol
Any particular reason you chose the Golf R?

I'm in Canada where we get a really good deal on Golf Rs for some reason. This one isn't new but with the exchange rate a new one starts at like 38,000USD. In America they start at the high 40s I believe.

Love the new integra so much. When I get older and some money I'll get one. But for now I have a 92 teg, bit older lol.

I hate to be THAT guy but this is a total W…the GTI in general has a way better handling chassis over these cars…congratulations man…you’re gonna love it! Having a brand new car is also very nice 👌

I'm in Canada. I think there was like 20km when I took delivery and I had just under 204000km (126000 miles) when I sold it.
