The MS3, I've carried half an apartment full of **** in the back of it, you can't get half as much stuff in the back of a GTI.

That back seat, even with the hilariously ugly 4 door model is so small, no adult can fit back there.

What does a GTI have that my MS3 (and this has been addressed in subsequent refreshes) doesn't have? Leather (if you pay for it) and a touch screen infotainment system (if you pay for it). Oh and an automatic (DSG) if you're lame.

It's slow. Don't get me wrong, it can get out of its own way and it certainly quicker than your average econobox car out there, but it is NOT a fast car and should NEVER be called anything like a "Sports Car" as it neither handles like one or goes like one.

It's not really more versatile than the cars it actually competes against in the real world. Only when compared to stuff like the Fiat 500 or small sedans with seats that don't lay down.
