Another advantage is they tend to be shorter in length than comparable sedans, so they're great for women/spouses who hate maneuvering big cars. My wife loves driving my GTI for that reason and has pretty much claimed it as her car now. Which is fine by me, the more sportier cars in our garage, the better.

Bg8780 and I were talking about a GTI for his girlfriend yesterday when he came over to pick up the Enkei's from me. They're the best all around hatchback for DD out there IMO, and only an APR tune away from being very fast cars.

I'm lucky as my commute is early in the morning, empty backroads, and relatively curvy 
And because of this... I'm at 12,000 miles now with 14-ish months of ownership. Pretty much double yours  |
There's something special about VW/Audi's 2.0T even in stock form that makes scooting around town so much more effortless and enjoyable than the FA20. It's got a small turbo and great midrange torque that I find perfect for daily driving. It's the opposite of what I'd want at the track, which is why I love the FA20 even naturally aspirated because it makes all it's power up top and loves to rev, where the VW 2.0T falls on its face above 5k rpms when the boost tapers off. Once the 2.0T is tuned it becomes a monster and the FWD layout becomes a big burden on the car without a nice electronic LSD like the new GTIs come with. I'd really like to drive one of those since the reviews all say the new diff is amazing.
