Absolutely!! I love the f30 as well, but the GTI is just more childish and engaging since it is a smaller car with a lower center of gravity.
As an enthusiast (and manual transmission lover), I can not help but feel fortunate to have the Jetta GLI with a manual as an option to pick from. I feel after BMW turned their backs on us and left us out in the cold, VW is greeting us back with a warm cup of hot chocolate and fuzzy slippers.
It's one thing to offer a manual at all on the GLI, its an entirely different matter for it to be as competent as it's (much smaller) sibling, the GTI. That's an awesome effort!
