I was on the fence on this one when I got my GTI and went with a 1.8T and loved it.

Although I have driven a 24V VR6 GLI and that powerplant is just awesome and the sound is unmatched.

since the guy above posted a clip of the 1.8T might as well throw one up of a VR as well

Overall its what everyone else said, if your on a budget the 1.8T is King but if you want the best option for pure power you go VRT.
