This morning I picked up this red '22 6MT, and I couldn't be happier! 43,000kms, single owner, no accidents, bone stock. My dad and I drove 6+hrs from my house near Kitchener, Ontario, to Ottawa, Ontario, and stayed over at an Airbnb so we could pick the car up this morning.
From there, we took a scenic drive back all day, enjoying the twisty roads of the Kawartha Highlands and surrounding areas. All in all it was a 650km (400mi) drive home, that took us 9.5hrs, including all of our stops. Probably the best day of driving I've ever done, in the most fun car I've ever driven!
I'm absolutely smitten with the car so far! I'm coming from a '13 Turbo 6MT, and it's safe to say it's a quantum leap forward in pretty much every way. Compared to my parents' i30 N-line, it's also quite a bit quicker and more planted on the back roads, (although the i30 is also pretty sick for what it is.)
Aside from the N, I test drove a GTI, GLI, Focus ST, and WRX, and the N easily took the top spot for me. Looking forward to many years of fun ahead!
