iirc you can get teh accord's in stick still too right?

That I do not know. [MENTION=12]Bru[/MENTION]?

Yup.

And the 2.0 in the Accord fucking rips. So much so that I wish the 10-speed auto in the Accord were available in the Type-R.

I'm still scared of making the jump to German...

Although....one thing that I noticed at the auto show is VW is now offering 7/80K warranty on 2018 models. So that may throw a Golf R into the mix...or maybe a Golf Alltrack Wagon 6-speed. The Alltrack is definitely down on power, but the utility is there and a tuner may add some fun factor back in.

alltrack looks cool too.

tons of cpo's of those too with like under 10k miles

VW's warranty is amazing. It's what they're doing to bring back customers. It's 7/80K on EVERYTHING. Not just powertrain.

 

[Bru]

And overall, their reliability is much improved these days.

Doesn't take much to improve that

Is it only '18+ or are '17 models included as well?

Select 2017s, all 2018s. And it's fully transferable.

 

[Kensington]

Gamechanger.

How would someone go about finding out whether a '17 is the 7/80K warranty, without calling a dealer with a VIN

I was mistaken. The Atlas and Tiguan were first to get it, and then they extended it to the entire 2018 lineup.

Why do you want AWD? Get a CPO MT, RWD, M-sport option, and snow tires. Done. haha

The X-drive is cool as it is rear biased until it needs the other wheels to have more traction. So it kind of acts like a RWD car on dry roads and not at the limits of grip. But the XDrive suspension is not as good as the RWD suspension up front. Plus the XDrive can cause simple repairs to have a lot more labor cost due to the extra pieces that need to be removed. As well as more parts to break. I guess that isn't an issue with a warranty. But check their warranty as well. They made changes this past year and length, mileage, and what it covers.

I really like my E90 Xdrive auto. The car launches hard when I brake torque it and spool the turbos. Tires make a little noise but otherwise, it launches pretty hard and scoots!
