I suppose it depends on what you rate and what you are ratting it against, the few times I drove a Mk6 GTI it could have been a Toyota Corolla for all it was worth, it felt like a good quality car with nice materials and some practical features with a nice engine and good solid safe feel.. it didn't feel like a performance car though  :(

They are a great all rounder and I would buy one if I had a need for 5-Doors and a softer less focused car that was still fast and competent.

In saying that a well specked Mk7 with a manual gear box and the sports package would be a sharp drive... still cant figure why they need a sports option what is meant to be a sporty car, I see a lot of manufacturers offering this lately, like BMW offering an upgrade on the M5 for example.
