I test drove the GTi and it was a large disappointment.
Fit and finish of the car was decent. But everything else meh.
I wasn’t happy with the way the suspension felt, powertrain was craptastic.
I would take the mazdaspeed over the gti.
Newer s4 is a good option but gas mileage would be the suck.
I would like to drive a mazdaspeed3 with the powertrain upgrades solo mentioned. Might help the major issues I have with the car. I would be more interested in one used to get rid of some of that initial depreciation.
