Recommend me to buy: VW GTi VR6 or Honda Civic EG6 Hatchback?

Question

I have a 98 four door VW Golf right now but im looking for a Sportier 2 door hatchback for my next car, which one will u recommend me out of the two?

Answer 1

While the VW has a lot more personality, VAG has yet to get the nagging quality issues under control. They make some beautiful cars, especially the new Audis, but they are no where near honda when it comes to reliability.

Answer 2

GTi VR6, its faster.

Answer 3

Civic FTW! Have you had any problems with the veedub? Most vws I see generally have electrical problems after a few years. i.e. sunroof motors, power window motors, etc. Powertrains are generally solid. I vote civic cause they are cheap to work on and the EG was basically the small block chevy of the 90s...there are millions of them.

Answer 4

Try the Civic.  It's very light and has tons of aftermarket support, not to mention the engine swap possibilities.  Good Luck

Answer 5

Definitely VW GTI, it has better performance and looks sportier.

Answer 6

Well on will be a little more fun to drive with a bigger engine and good handling but I assure you will spend a lot of time in the shop.  The other will last you for ever without trouble but is gutless and not very fun to drive.  You are paying for it so I guess it's your decision.
