After owning may VW TDI's over the years the cars are getting bigger and less mileage. Also the price of diesel is at a preimum. I owned a VW GTI for a year (bought it for my son). What a fun car, get it with DSG and you can get leather and all the goodies. Mine was a 2.0 gas turbo with leather and the Autobahn package. Only thing is everyone with a mustang or a ricer wants to race... The thing that I traded it was my son loves his older 1.8 turbo Jetta and my wife did not like the 2 door thing. (they do come in 4 doors) The dealer did not have any at the time. The thing the way that I drove it got 35-40 mpg. It would burn the tires off if you let it...
