Plus having forged internals from the factory you can have some faith that it won't blow up after 10k. If you haven't test driven both then you can't really compare them.

i have never driven a golf r and i dont doubt its objectively superior to the gti. i just cant help fut feel like that haldex style drivetrain means most of the understeer of a fwd with the weight of awd. i just dont now enough about those things i guess.
