From my personal experiences. GTI / Golf R > STi. The VW is way cheaper to mod, more capable than STi (performance wise), and is a hatchback!

Golf R is a nice car. My good friend has a mk7 r with a stage 1 tune and it has gobs of torque. I just can't bring myself to pay that much for one though. Same with the STI.

They're nothing to laugh at though. DSG shifts insanely fast. Plus you only have to spend 1/3 of the money on the GTI that you would have to spend on an STi to make it "fast".
A MK7 with downpipe, intake and tune will make higher numbers than a STi with full bolt ons on a stock block. Those little buggers are crazy. |

Not dogging the STI but why ask this question on a Z forum. We're all on here because we're Z enthusiasts. If you're not, by all means, best of luck with the STI. I'm sure it's a solid ride but I'm not about to tell you to sell your Z to get one. In the end it comes down to preference. I love my Z and wouldn't trade it for anything short of a Ferrari but if you don't feel the same, perhaps you should go for it.
