Hi Guys,

Looking for some advice on buying a GTI. I have a budget around 25-26K, which will either get me a 2014 Performance model, or a 2015 "base" model. The most appealing thing to me about the Performance model is the diff. Does it make that much difference to every day driving? Would I be better off getting a 2015 model with some other factory options, or even stretching the budget for a 2016 model? What options are worth having on these models?

TIA.
