Keep the GTI. There are threads here about people trying to fit baby seats in the 86 and it simply doesn't work. It is possible to fit front facing child seats though, but that is tight.

Honestly though if you want to trade both in it sounds like a WRX would be a good compromise. I was huge on the 228i as well for a while, but the extra cost, the complete lack of availability for a test drive and the fact that bmw pretty much did everything they could to make the suspension as bad as possible convinced me it was not worth it.

Keep the GTI and look for a high mileage something interesting in your area. You can get 3000 GT VR4's with 6 figure mileage that are well kept for not much money, and there are a ton of cars like that. Most Infiniti's values drop like a rock in a few years and they are really great vehicles. So many good performance values to be had if you just want to have an interesting car for not too much money.
