We have a MY08 CTR and a MY08 GTI in the garage..
Sure, the GTI (with DSG) is notably easier to drive fast (and therefore a fester car) - but I wouldn't swap my Type R for my GFs GTI for anything. The Type R is way more fun - unless going fast in and of itself is what you call fun.
See, you actually have to make the CTR go quick - keeping the revs right, blipping the accelerator, etc. When I drive the CTR I feel like I'm driving a racing car. The Golf feels like I'm just riding it. Sure I'm riding fast but so what.
Where the Type R errs on the side of racing, the Golf errs to the side of shopping runs. And it shows.
