I may be biased but the XR5 turbo was every bit as good as a GTi
The R36 is basically the bigger and faster GTi.

If it wasn't for the awesome interior and great exhaust note I'd agree.

The GTi a very safe choice with excellent resale.

As for which id pick out of GTi or XR5 - neither as I'm not a hatch fan (as not useful for me), but I'd have the latter ahead.

VWs are overpriced. However not close to some other Germans that are WAY overpriced (BMW 3 series and Audi A4 exhibit 1)
