My friend Ryun's car is the most fun vw I have ever driven.
http://www.mindspring.com/~pavlicek/vr6home.htm You need to decide if you
want all of the creature comforts of a GLX GTI.  The 1.8t will be lighter
and after you change some stuff, it will have much more power.  Next time
you are at the dealership, drive one of the 1.8t passats w/170hp to get a
taste of what a very mild chip change will make the engine feel like.  I'm a
salesman at Linkous VW-Mazda in Charlottesville.  Let me tell ya, trying to
get a rockin' deal on a GLX GTI is like trying to find a cheap new dash for
your Scirocco.  You are on the wrong side of the supply and demand system.
The up side is the cars hold their value well.
