I don't track much or won't track a GTI for shits and giggles. My friend had a bmw 550i manual tranny and he got the GTI SE with manual. He loves it. The thing with the GTI is that, it's finky. You will have small issues pop-up. If you can live with that then it's a great little car at a great price. You really can't get this much stuff in a comparable car until the little monster Civic SI shows up and rains on your parade. It looks like it will rape the GTI and looks amazing. woot woot woot.

Yeah, I had to sacrifice the Lighting Pkg to get one with Perf Pkg. I was not willing to compromise on that, and I'm glad I didn't. The Perf Pkg really makes the car come along on a back road, and you can tell a difference in how it puts power down, as well as brake bite and feel.
As for the Civic, it's going to take the Type R to 'rape' it, and if it even makes it over here, it'll cost Golf R money. I'll happily sacrifice a few tenths here and .02 g's there for a greatly more refined and comfortable package. It's why I overlooked an STI and Cooper S, among others, when I bought my GTI.
