I got excited after the review and just go back from driving Mk7 GTI manual. Traction control disable button is there!
Chris is right, the chassis is very nice and the brake feel is much improved over the MkV my wife drives. Electric steering was OK too. Man, if it was rear drive, it's only 26K. Still a fan of the GTI. Can't wait to see the R model but as Chris said, I really want rear drive and MT.
I also re-drove the 228i and I think that is a great little car and feels a bit livelier. I'm just having a hard time going from 1M to that much less power. It would be so nice if I could just get the M235i with Euro Alcantara, fixed suspension and I'll put up with the silly display/idrive/two button ac control no comfort access.
Part of why some of us are interested in R, is because its AWD and while no one disputes RWD is better, AWD is not as big a drop off as FWD.
I really want to re-drive M235i again, but none in stock anywhere!
