You can really feel the torque in the GTI, but the FRS is more fun to drive everyday.

A few came with max performance summer tires as a factory option, but that was pretty rare -- Bridgestone Potenza RE050A.

E30 M3 vs FR-S would be a tough decision if I had $25k in cash to spend. Too bad you can't finance an E30 M3, especially considering it's now an appreciating asset.

Ehh its preferences , but if you take those 10k and drop in a turbo you can easily rape the GTI in every benchmark, just name it...

one thing he didn't say is the GTI is been around for a long time so the development of the GTI is way ahead of the FRS/BRZ, when the GTI came out it was the golf's upscale model for the FRS/BRZ its the only model out in the market in the US. give this chassis few more years and this will surpass the FWD GTI
