Hey everyone - so unfortunately my MK8 Golf R 6MT was recently totaled. I had been pairing that with my Model 3 Performance as my DD and I'm now looking for a replacement. Highly prefer 6MT, but would consider other options if they are really special (see below). Only must have is a back seat, as I have two little ones that like to jump in and take a ride.

I think I have it narrowed to the following three cars but would love to hear your opinions:

- M2 6MT (long time BMW owner, so this would be familiar territory)

- Giulia Quad (this would be the AT outlier, but such a special car and last chace to own one new)

- Civic Type R (more of a analog to my Golf R. Most cost effective option)

Also considered:

RS3
CT4V BW
M3
