Can anyone help me out with this? I'm looking for pros/cons of each model. This car will not see the track, although it might see a few basic mods.

Upon some research...

I found out that the GTi is a trim level...one of three for the Golf...you have GL (base two door), GLS (base foor door), and GTi

The GTi has two engine options...the 1.8t (180hp) or the VR6 (200hp)...

Here's the info

GTI is the hot-rod of the line and comes only in the two-door body style. It's comes with the 1.8 T engine and is available with the manual transmission ($18,910) or Tiptronic automatic ($19,985). It's also available with the 200-hp VR6 engine and 6-speed manual gearbox ($21,775).
