If you can afford it, you should get a used Mk7 Golf GTI and keep the BRZ. The GTI is a fun lightweight car with good power. It does everything well. You can get a used Mk7 GTI with less than 30k miles (ie still has some warranty left) for under $20k pretty easily.
I just bought a GTI and will also be keeping my turbo FRS.
The GTI is a fun car and a stage 1 puts out some insane numbers (I will be installing a JB1 stage 1 later this week).
You could look at the Golf R also but keep in mind the Golf R drives like a FWD car most of the time (all the power to front wheels). The Golf R only sends power to the rear wheels if slippage is detected on the front and it can send up to 50% of the power to the rears. Imo, the Type R isn't worth the $10k premium over the GTI. The GTI is more fun to drive around corners (from what I've read), mainly because its lighter and feels a bit 'livelier'.
But if you get the GTI, get it with the PP. I regret not getting the PP.
