I dunno the wrx felt a bit firmer than the gti, I think it may corner better. The gti can't get the power down as well as a wrx, however the gti has a better engine and brakes
Some better tires would fix that. Did the GTI you drive have the lousy P7 all seasons?

If you find a GTI you want that has the P7's, see if the diller can swap wheels/tires with a GTI that has the S001's.

PP GTI with all seasons doesn't make a damn bit of sense IMO

Sure it does. It's a damned FWD economy car, limited slip or no.

I enjoy my WRX way more than the GTI. The GTI was numb in comparison.
PAPA BLESS

Ah MK7. I missed that, too. I was looking at the Golf R as well before I decided on the STi. I fucking hate moon roofs and the R came with one. Decided STi was the way to go.
I like rumbles, vape juice and mudflaps :gay:
