So, long story short, I slipped and fell just before xmas and tore my rt
rotator cuff for which I will have microsurgery by months end.
This means no manual shifting for at least six weeks which means I cannot
drive any of my three cars. (Yeah I know I could figure out shifting via
the left arm but it could get old fast. and...Yes, my wife has
comments/yuks/insults pertaining to this sad state of affairs.)
I could muddle through with daughter #2's, '97 Integra stored in my driveway
until the summer, but that car is near end of life and why pass up an opp to
sell that and justify another car?
I am considering A3, GTI, or R32, and thought briefly of a Mini too.
None of these are ideal me thinks, but would suffice for 6 wks. to 6 mos.
and then I could pass on to returning grad school daughter since by then I
would have Craigslisted the Integra... (which still has some value amongst
the fast n furious set.)
Any thoughts about R32 (2dr/awd, 250hp) vs GTI ) (4dr/fwd, 200hp?)
TIA
