Shock... Horror...
The GTI forum prefers the GTI and the R forum prefers the R 
I'm sure there are some on here that would prefer to have the R, me included, but for some of the R community to come out and say the GTI is sh!t is a load of pish. 
I'd have to agree, I'm not sure whether I'd actually prefer the R as a GTI or GTD with some very minor enhancements makes a very good case for itself as an all-rounder, but for those moments where the technology of the R comes into its own it's quite a special car - you can't argue with the figures.
But don't take to heart what some people say on internet forums, it's just wild opinions and perspective in many cases and there are always people in life who have a superiority complex(!!!)
I think for most of us, we can see the advantages and disadvantages of every model of Golf - even the small engined TDI's TSI's make a good case for themselves as brilliant bits of engineering and excellent road cars.
