I don't know man. It's a pretty decent compromise. I've had two GTI's myself (MK6 and 7) back to back with my M3's and I'd buy a 3rd one if I could. They are fun as hell and very well built, in my experience. A manual is like the cherry on top. I've had a DSG GTI as well and it was wicked fun!
Yeah, there's some blind hate for anything fwd. for three years we had an F30 and a GTI in the garage and I drove the F30 less than a handful of times.
