Golf R = Track Toy + Shed ??? Which option sounds best?

[Roso]

I got rid of my Subaru last year because I am a grown man now, and it was getting embarrassing. It was time to move on. So bought a Golf R DSG so the wife can drive it. It felt like the right decision to cut down on number of vehicles parked on the drive, well built, bit of power, practical, and with kids on the way etc etc - a kind of do-all solution.
Here's the thing. Its not my thing at all. It feels a bit like a doctors surgery, albeit a very refined one. No feel, too heavy, the gearbox gets confused easily.

So first option is to try again on a 1 car theme. Would need to be auto, and be exciting to drive when asked. or are all modern cars inherently boring as fk?

Or, 2nd option I split the budget (around 20k) into 2 cars, a Automatic Shed for her and toy for me. I've always fancied something mad. Something that has been lovingly build up from a shell for the track by somebody far cleverer than I.

Or wait and see how I feel about things once a child arrives later this year, when I'll start being impressed by how economical those zafiras are looking.

Sounds like you should have kept the Subaru and should worry less about what other people (that don't actually care what you are doing or look like) think about you....

Maybe a newer Evo? they have a less 'in your face' look but would have much of what you do want.

Wait for the children! Not because you'll suddenly want a zafira, but because you#ll realise you have zero time anymore!

I sold my off-roader as between the two MOT's after my son was born, it covered 675 miles (50 miles each way to the MOT station!). I just stopped using it....
