What GTI do you have?
I still have my 2002 Mk IV. It has over 275,000 miles on it and still runs like new.(after spending 10's of thousands of dollars over the years to keep it running. I stripped out the interior and use it pretty much as a pickup truck anymore. Just taking out the seats alone lightens it by at least 300 lbs. It really hauls ass now.
As far as shifter comparisons, the FR-S has the tightest shifter I've ever had. And I've had a lot. The GTI has by far the worst shifter ever made IMO. It feels like moving a stick around in a tub of luke warm tar.
Once you buy the 86 you'll never drive the VW again. I'll bet.
