I bought the Si.
The dealer I took the test drive at called me and offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. So, without getting a chance to drive the GTI, I made my choice.
I will admit, some of the threads about the GTI not starting and smoking brakes sort of scared me, but overall, I'm not sure if reliability was the biggest issue for me.
Both the GTI and Si are great cars, and some people will prefer one over the other, like me in this case.
I hope this doesn't make me some type of fugitive/enemy around here, since I still think the GTI is a great car, but just not the right one for me at this time. This could also be an opportunity for people here who want to know more about the Si, even from a competition standpoint, but didn't have an Si owner to ask.
Here is a pic...I am picking it up tonight.
