Help deciding on a new car

I'm planning on it, desu. There are enough people here mentioning it that it seems worthwhile.

You should drive everything under the sun first. See what suits you.

I think the cars in the segment go after different things. WRX goes after awd and hp. FoST goes for hot hatch. GTI goes for grown up hot hatch. Si for grown up sedan.

The only things I don't like about it so far are the ultra light clutch and the rev hang. It's not a rocketship but somehow only a tenth behind the FoST in the 1/4 mile.

Note that their test Camaro is a V6 with the 8 speed automatic

So it has one of those clutches where the friction point is really finicky? My dad had a Hyndai Elantra with a stick for a while and it is the only car I've stalled at a traffic light since high school. It was awful.
Thanks for the link, I'll have a look.

Anyone have an opinion on the Challenger? I kind of forgot that Dodge even existed.

I don't think it's super finicky. Just lighter than other 'sporty' cars. It catches up top, but that's where I like it.

My 2008 has a stick, and I'll be interested to see the difference when I go drive an Si. The one I have right now is a pretty good balance between a really loose clutch and something that's too sensitive.

they're not as fast.
They don't handle as well
they're heavy
but they're comfy, and the V6 isn't that bad

But then you have own an FCA product.
