Again, I disagree. Even though I'm sure there are material differences, they both share the exact same manual drivetrain, and beyond that they're both FWD sporty hatchbacks. While the utility of a FWD sporty hatchback is pretty high, if you have to have two cars why would you not consider something that would introduce an entirely different experience, or serve a different role?Question did
Did you feel like they were 2 different cars? I own a 2020 FK8 with 15k miles on it. I am looking to trade in my FK8 also for the Type S. But because of different circumstances I now need a more adult looking car. Thank you for posting the quote . That was much needed info. Here are my 2 cents. First of course do what is best for you and your family. But after driving the Type S. If I could keep the FK8 and get the Type S. I would. They are 2 different cars. I would have the Type S as a daily driver and Tune the FK8. The FK8 will always be a head turner (good or bad depending on opinion). Both of these cars value don't look like they will fade any time soon. They are both special cars . Just my thoughts.
Again thanks for posting your quote.
I mentioned a Miata or a Tundra, both IMO excellent examples. I just traded in my Boxster and while that was a fantastic car to drive on many levels, arguably the part I'll miss the most is the ability to put the top down on a perfect day. You can't do that in either an FK8 or a DE5.
You can put a refrigerator in the back of a Tundra. Or a toilet. Can't do that in an FK8 or DE5.
Or just a rear-wheel or all-wheel drive car? Maybe one with a dual-clutch or ZF auto?
Mix it up, man.
There are way too many good cars out there to have two of nearly the exact same experience.
