My wife has got the 2.0GTI, I do like it, but it uses more petrol and is a fair bit slower. The turbo is nicer to drive long distances aswell because the engine noise is less obtrusive at motorway speeds.

welcome mate!!

Congrats on buying what you weren't looking for  :laugh:

Good choice though mate cos you would have traded in the 2.0 after about half a mile down the road
