Also, the GTI is a 2.0 liter turbo. The FR-S is a 2.0 liter NA. Lets call up Full Blown Motorsports, add a turbo to a stock FR-S with equal tires, and then see which one has the faster lap time. The price for the modded FR-S would probably be about the same as the GTI.
The modded fr-s will not last nearly as long. Plus wheels and turbo kit would push you up 8-10k. My gti with the same features as my fr-s plus some (my gti had heated seats and satalite radio) and it only cost me 22500 brand new. My fr-s out the door was almost 26k. The 32k gti has more features then any fr-s. It has even more features then a fully loaded brz premium which is a lot closer to that 32k mark. Don't get me wrong I love my fr-s but I could see how it is not for everyone and the gti is a awesome car especially with the dsg transmission.
