Yet most ppl compare the GTI to the VXR instead of the SRiT yet the power of the GTI is the only 147kw the same as the SRiT hehehe.
I got a little laught out of that.
From those seeing and being in them i would say get the GTI or the GT if you can afford them that is (not being biased or anything here either).
But betwee the SRiT and the XR5 the XR5 wins hands down that is for sure. As already said the new one is coming so either hold off and wait for that or wait for a dealer bargain on old stock when the new one comes in.
Or you could get a VXR 2nd hand or even a SRiT 2nd hand. There is 2nd hand GTI's selling for around the 30k mark now too.
