Why getting rid of the IS?
My last car was a 2007 CTS-V, lease. Various problems including engine mount failure but all handled by an excellent Cadillac dealer, and mostly under warranty. Awful mileage (which may have had a little to do with my driving style, but mostly the 6 liter Corvette LS engine). Scary fast and, until I learned to drive it well, a propensity for snapping the rear out under hard accel. Nevertheless I loved it and would have kept it but at lease end the number was unreasonably large and GMAC 'doesn't do deals'. No regrets, not now. The VI GTI is a wonderfully complete package, puts me in better communication with the road, and has plenty of juice. I'm delighted with the performance and I'm already getting twice the mileage. This one is a purchase. Maybe a chip later on.

'04 Wrangler Sport. I paid it off in May, and beat on it too much to get any money on a trade so I still own it. I was planning on doing more with it (going bigger) but now it looks like I've got another money pit haha. Unfortunately there aren't many places to take it near where I live right now. Oh well.

2004 Mazda3, the first 3-4 years of ownership was wonderful. But after that, the body started to rust and one of the bearings went bad. sold it for a little under 1/3 if what I paid for it. And I won't buy Mazda ever again, not because their cars drive badly, but rust on a car after 4 years is unacceptable.
Have a MK6 GTI on order and having a 12 year corrosion warranty was one of many deciding factors why I purchased it.

2005 Volvo S40 T5. Way more torque than GTI and better ride in certain ways. I had been loyal to VW from 1988 to 2005. Then switched to Volvo for four years and now back to VW. I have nothing against Volvo, I have to say that the S40 is the best car I have ever had, period.
GTI definitely more fun to drive and addictive, best value for your money, unbeatable European good taste, sexy design, quality, etc.

My last ride was a 2005 C6 Corvette. It was a cool fast car but living in PA I only really drove the car in the summer so got tired of it sitting around. Want a cool car to mod up and enjoy so I went and bought my first VW a 2010 Carbon steel GTI. LOVE IT! more fun to drive that every day
