    There was that shallow trunk behind the engine, that could fit a whole roast chicken dinner, let’s not exaggerate. And there are cubbies behind the seats, right? Or am I thinking of the MR-2 Spyder, which also had those cubbies.

    Every time I drive this, I'm in automotive heaven.

    I love watching Hellcat, Vette and Porsche owners in my rear view mirror.

    Anyone else here a modder?
    That is a **** ton of power going through the front wheels. Or did I miss something and the Jetta GLI is AWD now?

    I mean, yeah, you must dust on the highway, but do you spin your wheels all the way through 3rd or 4th?

    Don't minimize, I think you could fit a medium-sized turkey in there. Actually, my briefcase or backpack would fit. No cubbies behind the seats. They'd be tough to access anyway, since the seats are fixed other than a forward/backward adjustment.

    FWD, and yes, I can get wheel spin/chirp through 5th gear if i nail it.

    It is a limited slip differential, and, with the dog bone insert and great tires, it eliminates wheel hop at outset and helps stabilize/even out power distribution effectively.

    Edit: Ah nevermind. It looks like I have it set to private


    Here is a short clip of me taking off in my Lotus a few years back: I'm not hitting it too hard, but it stills sounds good. I think I have other clips somewhere.
