Got two buddies here at work who drive MkVI GTIs, and they know
way too much about just about every VW that's existed, so I'll ask them about this. Of course if I tell them you're looking to get a GTI they're gonna try their hardest, through me, to get you to do it. I made the mistake of saying I wouldn't mind having an R32 to DD and have fun in the winter, and next thing I know one of them's practically doing the math on me trading in the Boxster, lol.
Hm...for that matter, maybe you should look into an R32 as well, Frodo (prob not a MkV, though, go for MkIV). AWD, 3.2 VR6, and it sounds lovely right out the box. It's probably the only VW I'd get, personally, not a big VW nor hatch fan otherwise.
