Greetings all. I just put down a deposit on a '26 Ts in Ignition Red. I have until tomorrow to submit my build sheet.

Here's where you come in. If you could go back, what options would you have included, that you didn't? I know the STi muffler is apparently trash, but that's all I know.

Bonus picture of my dearly departed Hawkwye wagon. Super excited to get back into a WRX.

Hi all,

I'm looking at potentially picking up a CT4VBW to replace my recently totaled car. I loved my GTI and planned to keep it forever, but a dude in a Ram on his phone had other ideas.

I'd love to get some input from owners. Would you recommend the car?

Is the car overpowered? I'm coming out of a 2800lb car putting down about 375whp, and I'm concerned about the Blackwing feeling unusable. (More fun to drive a slow car fast vs fast car slow, etc).

How is it as a daily?

Is the car generally reliable? (I don't need Camry reliability, I just don't want the Land Rover lifestyle where you know your dealer techs by first name).

How are maintenance and consumables costs?

TIA.
