Doesn't it say more about you then me if you think its gay?
>>28503573 (OP)The Golf GTI is the instrument of choice for someone who daren't stand out. It's obvious, the boring choice, and says that you're somewhat dull, but to call it gay just says that you're online too much.
It's the cheapest new car you can get that has a legitimately high tier engine+trans+chassis. Not getting it in a greyscale color is even more of a win
I have a GTI and it's the least gay thing about me. Interpret that how you will.
GTIs are driven by literally everyone, most of the people who can afford a $30-35,000 VW are 50+ from my past experience. The only car that even hints you're gay is a Tesla or Miata. There's no specific gay car though because gays all live in cities and Uber everywhere.
>>28503573 (OP)Nope cool car, would own one in any color. Thinking about color is a female thing, stop thinking about colors.
Ive driven my lovely Peugeot 208 GTi for a couple of years and it's been great. I hear the golf gti is more or less the same, same performance just more mod potential. I am 28. The people I see driving Ford Fiesta STs, GTIs, GTis are anyone; old, boyracers, women, chads, losers, anything.
I bought an mr2 2000 2 weeks ago and am having more fun in that despite it being slow as fuck, though.
>>28503630what? a new civic/corolla costs that much and zoomers have those.
>>28503682>new civic/corolla costs that muchthey're $7-10,000 cheaper on average though and zoomers dont buy new cars because they're broke
most of the gti owners ive seen irl are boomers
>>28503683Not by much from what I have seen, so they are more or less equal when it comes to being a hot hatch. Idk about the newest models.
>>28503694i bet to differ. A lot of mk8 and mk7 Golf GTIs here are driven by probationary plate holders.
Golf R's are owned by people mid 20s to mid 50s.
>>28503702brother. the GTI is 1 second faster at least.
>>28503573 (OP)>Is a VW too gay for a straight guy to own?Yes it is.
Get a BMW or a Mercedes, you're going to have the same problems with all of these cars, might as well look good doing it.
>>28503589A Model 3 will absolutely rape this fagmobile on any track extant.
Tell us again why someone should buy a 13 second econobox for $50,000.
>>28503683>fasterAm I missing the joke here?
>>28503573 (OP)Carlos Sainz drove a golf, and he's not gay, just Spanish.
>>28503573 (OP)You can own whatever car you want. The only limits are your insecurities and how much you care about what others think about you. As a straight man, neither of those things should matter to you.
>>28503733>Am I missing the joke here?Apparently so.
Golf gti it 1 second faster 0-60 and over 2 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile than the 208 gti.
So yes, it's faster.
>>28503986They called me gay because of the color of my car. I still care what other poeple think of me. I want them to see me as straight even though my GTI is red, because I am a better driver then them.
>>28503573 (OP)i own one and dont give a fuck what you think
love my red mk7 gti
simple as
>>28503573 (OP)If you care about retarded shit like this it only shows you're already gay or at least in a massive closet.
>>28503630back in the boomer days gays could afford their Miata and their orgy meth on an exurban hairdresser's salary, what's the world coming to
>>28503573 (OP)As an openly homosexual man, let me tell you that the GTI is not a "gay" car, and the only people who would ever claim that are gay men like myself. Enjoy what you drive and don't mind the thoughts of homosexual men trying to flirt with you badly.
>>28503573 (OP)If you have to ask then you're gay either way
>>28504127Thanks, anon. I feel much better now with all this reassurance. It has to be the color and not the car. I know they can't catch me in a race, but I have to be careful and do my best so they won't try to take advantage of me.
>>28504151Honestly any interesting car is a gay car because cars are a male centric hobby. Ask anyone who owns a cool car and 99% of the time it's just dudes asking you and opening conversations about it
>>28504212There's no bigger tell of an underage poster than when they think buying a nice car will get them laid.
>>28503717Yeah that's what I'd call a bit faster, not much. They're really fun dailies.
>>28504460I agree that they're both great dailies that have all the speed you could ever use on the street, but an extra second to 60 is an eternity.
>>28504310Why would you be on a car enthusiast board and post something like this?
>Randy Pobstโs first car he ever attended races with was a Golf GTI
>he thinks Golf GTIโs are โFWD Ferrarisโ
>Jeremy Clarkson dailed a Golf MK7 GTI for many years
looks like itโs good enough for a many people
>>28503573 (OP)hatchbacks are GAY as FUCK
>>28503589bested in every department
>>28504757bested in every department
>>28504757>great Albert Biermann-tier chassisBUT
>korean build quality>literal who engine that may or may not grenade at 50k>tarted up jeetmobile with a predator face and pre-damaged body panels from the factoryIf they sold the i30N in North America, that'd be a serious contender to the GTI. But the Elantra is just unfortunate looking
>>28504775Kek that whole segment of tarted up pikachu MONSTER TRUCK bullshits is gay as fuck godsDAMN
>>28504775>i30N in North Americai could only dream
but they've been using the engine since at least as far back as 2018
it doesn't look that bad in person, until you put it next to something like the type R and then it's not even close
>>28504775the engine is pretty much bulletproof.
the DCT is best in class and the build quality is perfectly fine - especially compared to mutt garbage
>>28503573 (OP)>purple is gay>rainbows are gay>red is now gayANY OTHER FUCKING COLOURS THE GAYS WANNA OWN?!
>>28504789They're both ugly as fuck
>>28504823It's not the red that's gay, it's the fact that it's a GAY as FUCK hatchback from GAY as FUCK vw
The red just tells the world that you want to be seen in a GAY as FUCK vw hacthback, hence the attention-grabbing colouor
>>28504830Who cares they're both gay as shit 4cylinderlets
>>28504627Waaaah he doesn't like my car waaaah
>>28503573 (OP)I have literally never met a gay with a GTI. That car is the domain of germanophile autists who want something cool but are too tepid to actually buy a sports car. It is so painfully full of middle class, insecure masculinity that it acts as a near perfect repellant for homosexuals and women. Picture unrelated.
t. actual gay
>>28503573 (OP)Pic is a red GTI, I've no idea what the hell that color is supposed to be.
>>28504898You're godsdamn right Root Beer Purps
Never forget
