My wife hates the GTI: thinks it's too small and too low. But she can drive a stick (and well), so I have to give that to her.
Funny thing happened the other day. We were driving along in the Yukon and a Ford Explorer passed us. Thinking it looked pretty sharp, and thinking it might make a decent replacement for the Yukon someday, I asked my wife what she thought about it and whether she'd consider something like that for us.
She got all excited and gave a big "Hell yeah!" I was a little surprised, because she loves the Yukon so much. But then when I asked further, her response was "What?!? That's way too small to replace our Yukon - it would be the replacement for your GTI!"
And, yes, she was totally serious. And, no, it's never going to happen.
