Some might be quicker but they drive harder and the interior is no where near as nice. The last generation GLI is a little more sporty and has better fit and finish than the gurrent gen and on the used car market you get a lot of car for the money. I would strongly consider one if I were you. This coming from someone who has owned a 2006 e90 330i sport, 2008 X3 Msport, and 2010 328i Sport all with manuals. My sister also had a wolfsberg edition Jetta with the 2.0T and DSG and the car had no issues at all either. The new VWs are much more reliable now and I would easily recommend them to anyone. Feel free to PM me with any questions as I do have experience with the models.

Awesome review there.
