Cheap 33 mo lease for a 2015 GTI Performance pkg:

Its the Tech package, not Performance.

Wow, that's crazy cheap.

I just built a similar one on VW and got $431/mth with a residual of $18,519. So while my monthly was slightly higher my residual was lower. So almost a tie and not really an amazing deal IMO.

I mean the takeover is an amazing deal because of the large down payment that the current leasee apparently isn't trying to recoup.

So since you relaxed the no RWD requirement.....which was originally iron clad, how dead set are you on a MT?

Because if you don't care for that I'd go and fish for a IS350 RWD (previous generation) Ultra Prem package.
You can't just have your characters announce how they feel.
That makes me feel angry!

Very nice car, but there are too many IS's in the family.  :P

After driving a bunch of MT BMWs, my RIGHT leg is feeling kinda sore  ??? I'm a short guy and the position of my legs feels awkward. Left leg has to be able to fully depress the clutch, then I'm definitely sitting closer than I would in an automatic. I guess I'll get used to it?

Yeah, how many of those familial IS are pansy IS250 AWDs? ;D

I was more impressed by the IS350 than the E90 335 but I never got to drive a RWD 335 actually...

We won't be disappointed.  We'll be amused by your FGC repair/reliability threads.
