Yeah, they haven't made the VR since like '05 I don't think. A new GTI would be 200hp 2.5L 5cyl turbo.

OP: I had 18" Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires on my GTI, they weren't cheap either, but yes, there are far more affordable tire choices for the GTI than are for the Z. You'll care less about tire cost once you've driven it.

Have you considered a slightly older model? My 09 has every bell and whistle and I picked it up for 29k. Probably could have done better but wasn't too concerned.
