One of the best DDs under $30k IMO. Much better than a civic si, ms3, focus st; etc.

Seems underpowered 2.0 and only 230hp turbo'd? Should be 280-310.

Since reliability is poor, why wouldn't someone buy a WRX?

250hp, maybe 260hp is about the max I'd want in a FWD car, especially one that is targeted to be a sporty daily driver. 310hp would be absurd IMO.

WRXs aren't exactly the paragons of reliability either.

Lol... Wrx has a much shittier interior, much worse gas mileage, and reliability is worse. So why would u get a wrx besides awd and speed? GTI feels plenty quick for a DD with a lot of cargo space and gorgeous interior.

That's sort of my point. It's neither reliable or fast - the new GTI.
