There are very few cars I hate as much as GTI's.. and the SRT4's are 2.4l of pure beast. So, SRT4.

it all depends on what you're looking for....the srt-4 is flat out performance(for the price). The GTI, imo, is more luxury than the srt-4. Still a quick car, and relatively cheap to make fast. If it were me, i would get the GTI 1.8t just b/c i like turbo and leather haha.

you are very pro srt-4...you must be buying one soon.


they are nice cars...great "bang for the buck" and now that they have LSD, that should help traction problems. if they ever come out w/ an awd version, i'll be all over that.

SRT4's IMO are still neons and they are ugly. Golf/GTi's are well made and will definetly be an all around better performer out of the box IMO, I picked the 1.8t because the VR6's are relatively expensive to mod, and the 1.8's with some minor changes make TONS of power.

I've just always wondered why anyones waited till NOW to make a "big" 4cyl turbo. (recently, not the old 2.5s)

Displacement + turbo = mmmm

I DESPISE FWD though. I want one, but then I think about it being FWD.. and I cant decide.
