yeah I say go the VW route too, but I would go with the GTI. The Jetta in my opinion is a girl car, but that is just me. But for speed and all a R32 would be best, but that is just the dreams of many...

shoot kyle even has his GTI up forsale...

I haven't road in any of the AWD 1.8ts, but I have a FWD Passat. I don't have the chip in yet, but if I were to do all the engine modifications it would be a peppy little engine.
