Not sure where you got this idea, but the MK6 GTI is worse than the FR-S when it comes to minor issues. GTI's have a bunch of issues of their own, like (1) body flex/creaking, (2) rattles, (3) leaky rear spray, (4) carbon build-up, (5) DSG mechatronics issues, (6) leaking water pumps, etc.

At least the Twins are in their first year of production on a brand-new platform. Not sure what VW's excuse is.
