As an owner of a GTI and one who test drove a WRX and MS3, you guys are right to a certain extent. The GTI is the slowest of the 3.

Red6, base price of a 2013 GTI is $24,200. Base price of a same year WRX $25,795, WRX Premium $28,295, STI $34,295. Got my '11 GTI out the door for $23,600. But yes, you're right, the Subi's are faster.

Sh0vel, Since I own a GTI, I still give a ****. But granted, your MS3 is the faster car.

m4a1, Is correct, the GTI is a hell of a lot nicer inside and it doesn't stop there. The GTI rides better, plus it is a very balanced car in how it handles turns and bumps vs the aforementioned cars.

Think of it this way. Why do you guys drive and own Z's when the Mustang GT is the faster car and can be bought for the same price, if not cheaper? Speed is just one of the variable's in choosing a car that you like.
