Haha okay, so I'm a zombie. I still own a 11 GTI (auto w/paddles) and a 13Z (6mt) if anyone cares, but here's what I think. The Z is a much better car to drive. Daily driver or not, it's just a better drivers car that's not harsh on any road. However if you need practicality or fwd for inclement weather, the GTI is a fun car that can still do everything well.

But let's put it this way, my wife (who's last two vehicles were minivans) asked to try out the GTI instead of buying another car (made financial sense). She now drives the GTI & loves it. No way and I repeat, No way am I going to let her test drive the Z! :icon17:

I dont have the Golf GTI but I have the '15 Skoda VRS which uses the Mk7 Golf GTI running gear, mine is the estate version (DSG) and is a great daily driver, my Z is a weekend car as its just not practical for a family

i got both a GTI mkv and a 370z and rather drive the GTI as a daily.

Sold the Durango and went with a MKVII GTI LOL...still have the Z but I'm considering other options (moving to Germany soon:)
