    What's the difference between the GTI and the GLI? I thought the GLI was the 4 door, the GTI the 2 door. #vwgti

    So Motor Trend picks Subaru Outback, Automobile pics the GTI. What does that leave us consumer focused publications? Camaro SS? #vwgti

    It's certainly a neat car and VW does a very nice job with overall feel, design, quality and use of materials. I think Japanese cars in the GTI's range have gotten rather ugly in their desperate attempt to stand out. And the quality of materials used inside has declined over the past decade or two.

    But to call it Automobile of the Year seems to be overrated to me. I suppose the GTI is more relevant in Europe than it is in the US, hence the award. #vwgti

    Car & Driver just ranked the GTI over the MS3 as well, even with the power deficit. The only thing that would make me hesitant about the GTI is VW's reliability issues that were resounding a few years back. I'm not sure if those are resolved yet. #vwgti

    @Jeb_Hoge: 73,000 miles with only gas and oil. I've found my 07 reasonably reliable.

    The local Mazda shop couldn't be bothered to provide a test drive.

    The absence of torque steer despite all the midrange pull makes a compelling case for the GTI. #vwgti

    I was still in the midst of my misspent youth as an automotive journalist when the Mk5 came out, and when I opined that the Mazda/Speed3 was better looking and had better steering feel and the only reason why everyone was so ga-ga over the Golf/GTI was due to leather/high-end plastics poisoning, I might as well have had bats flying out of my ears. You can't go wrong with either, but man, they're acting like this thing is the best thing since...since the MK1? C'mon. #vwgti

    New look, better (by a bit) car. I can't really think of much wrong with that car with price as a consideration, which, let's face it, it is.

    Nice. The strakes on the corner duct look more suited to Audi, and the rims are awful, and the back seat looks like a painful place to take a long trip. But overall this looks pretty sweet.

    A GTI is my practical dream car. Once I have a family and two doors is no longer practical I'll get a MazdaSpeed3.


    Not sure what I'd do it I had more than three kids. But it would have to include RWD/AWD and 350+HP. Maybe Mazda will have a MazdaSpeed5 by then.

    @philipmein: Wouldn't a MazdaSpeed5 be absolutely sick? I'm not sure why, but I've got a weird thing for those mini-minivans. They'd look so cool lowered on big wheels with blacked-out windows.


    And a 2.3 turbo under the hood.

    @long_live_the_E36: A MazdaSpeed5 would warp the fabric of space and time because it would be such a dense concentration of win.
