The Si does handle better out of the box. I admit that.
But price wise baseline...the prices were not that far off.
GTI 21,995 MSRP
Si 21,090 MSRP
Basic warranty is better.
GTI 4 yr. / 50000 mi.
Si 3 yr. / 36000 mi.
Drivetrain warranty is the same. Rust is vastly different.
GTI 12 yr. / Unlimited mi.
Si 5 yr. / Unlimited mi.
Gas mileage is better on the GTI. GTI also has bigger tank at 14.5 vs. 13.2 gallons.
GTI 23/32 and 26 mpg EPA combined.
Si 22/31 and 25.3 mpg EPA combined.
GTI has more cargo space at 15.1 cubic ft vs. 11.5 cubic ft. A small note that I like is HID's are standard on the GTI.
