Enhhh!! Wrong! Have you ever driven one of these? I felt like this was the cheapest built vehical I have ever driven. It sounds like I was riding on 44 inch super swampers the road noise was so bad. It didn't ride well and the list continues. The tib has an amazing ride, very comfortable, and very reliable. I can't have an opinion against the VW bc I have never owned or ridden in one. But I say +1 for the tib vs mazda any day

Crypto,
Make sure you pick up the DSG version, the best $1100 dollars value in the market today. Your car will accelerate 3 tenths of a second faster and with get you 1-2 more miles per galon, needless to ay the comfort of driving it.
remember, with the DSG you get:
never miss a shift
better gas mileage
lower maintenance
quicker car
Comfort of driving
I have DSG on my GLI and don't regret, I did my research and it was better than the 6 speed manual.

exclusively for the non believers:

In road racing, hwy pulls,racetrack or whatever competition the DSG simply wipes the 6 speed manual. It is the fastest shifting transmission put into a production car. Seriously dude, tell you wife that I say you better get a GTI with DSG(JK)
watch this/show to your wife:

...................Pay.....Ins......Gas..........TOTAL
03 Lancer...$279....$290....$203......$772
06 GTI........$316....$302....$180......$798
07 GTI........$343....$302....$180......$825
07 Tib.........$283....$315....$248......$846
thats accounting for worse mileage possible on all cars, 5 yr loan for all cars, and for premium vs. regular gas. Also, all insurance costs include my wife and her car also

also, with the 2007's. GTI & Tib, i can get a 6 year loan.
Tib $241/month
GTI $293/month
which will save me money each month compared to the Lancer. However I'm undecided if i wanna do that

korean cars suck man. they are getting better on creating more performanced cars, but the companies do not have much experience as other know companies. Trust me, Im korean and my family had owned many hyundais.
P.S> hyundais in korea are known for quiet family sedans, not for performance cars. people buy tiburons, because its the only "sport car" out there in my country.
