I'm in a similar position. So I looked up a few GTI's on car sales, and they're about $11,000+. That's a big difference compared to what I'd get for my 1.6L, about $4000 difference!

... On a further note (seeing as the GTI seems too expensive right now), would selling the 1.6L to get a 2L be a reasonable upgrade? HONEST answers please.
Can I please get some REALLY honest feedback on the 1.6L vs the 2L? I'm thinking that it might not be worth the trouble of selling my 1.6L (which I love the rare colour of), just to get a 2L (which some call 2.slow ?). But don't really know the ACTUAL difference between them, and what they can do.
I'm also looking into a CAI and Viezu tune as a 'cheaper' alternative, where I :
1. keep the car, which I love the colour of,
2. don't have to take all the new wheels & suspension: off + on to sell, then off + on again on the new car $$$,
3. don't go without a car in between selling and buying (Public transport is a b!tch accross the flow, 3 changes),
4. don't gamble on the 'condition' of the 2L/GTI, and how it's been driven, etc.
Would I still be wanting to 'spend more money on the 2L or GTI once I had it anyway? Or is stock GTI good to go?
That's a bummer about the 'weak gearbox' issue if you want to add a turbo or supercharger, I was REALLY liking the sound of the supercharger!!

I never know if I should start my own threads with this stuff, if it's already on-par with what I want to know. Apologies if I should, suggestions welcome.
