Yes I know - two completely different cars. Two completely different technologies. One is brand new body style, the other outgoing and being replaced by heavens knows what.
I have four kids, but one is away at college and when my wife is home we would use her brands new minivan anyway if everyone were going. Usually on weekends it's me and the two little ones anyway.
The thing is I can get either of these for the exact same lease. Same money up front. Same monthly payment, miles per year, etc.
The Passat has nav, back up camera, leatherette (which I prefer to real leather), awesome gas mileage and lots of room.
But in five months it's going to look old. Awesome still but old gen.
On the other hand the gti is an s. So it's pretty basic. Interlagos cloth, fog lights. No nav (I don't care about nav) no backup camera (should be nice).
Both are DSG. I've owned a mark four vr6 gti and a mark five gti and loved them both. Also had an 09 Jetta tdi and that was very cool - the fuel economy really made that car but I imagine the Passat will feel far more luxurious. In fact in the half hour I drove them it did.
This is a lease but either car I'll buy at the end and either keep or give to my son as a college graduation present.
I'm having a hard time. Both cars are special. I just can't drive something boring. I've had three Honda accords. Awesome cars that I got rid of quickly and haven't missed for a second. In the other hand if the buyer of that vr6 wanted to sell it back I'd pick it up tomorrow.
Thanks in advance!
