Currently considering upgrade options for my daily. Looking at something more mod friendly and better on fuel compared to my R36.

Is a GTI PP good enough for a fun, fast daily or should I pony up a bit more for an R/S3?

I assume that the MK7 platform cars are a huge step up in feel compared to the MK5/6? The MK5/6s that I had did feel very similar to each other.

Also, when did the GTI/Rs get Carplay/MIB2, was it MY16?
