Well I haven't been around much the past couple months due to moving getting a new puppy and now a new Beater as the lease was almost up on my cruze.

I was limited to either a hatch or small suv due to having 2 dogs ( one is 40lbs the other will hit around 165 when full grown)since i leave my tahoe garaged at the detail shop and its impractical to go get anytime i want to take the pups out. I wasn't very impressed with any of the small Suv's out there so I focused on hatchbacks. The focus St was nice but I don't much for the styling and it already had interior squeaks on the test drive and even though the mini clubman and countryman were nice they are also quirky and I just couldn't see myself driving one. The wrx was also a fun car but didnt have enough room and is feeling pretty dated also has crappy gas mileage considering its a DD the 5mpg less than the others makes a bit of difference

This led me to either the VW GTI or audi A3. As you can see I ended up with the GTI autobahn. I've had it a week now and love it. Way more fun than my cruze better back seat legroom and plenty of room in the back especially with the fold flat rear seats.
