Depends...Not really if you need rear seats. Very much so if you need 2 trunks ;-)
First thing I thought when I got the Cayman S was that it was lacking in torque vs. the GTI. (I had REVO software, my GTI was making gobs of torque at low rpm, almost like an electric car)
I guess my point was, at its price point, if a GTI was RWD it'd be the easiest smartest choice in the world. I can't think of anything else that easy to extract torque from, that nicely finished, that practical to sit 4 people and luggage, that well handling...for under $25K new. I had hopes for the new Golf R too, but they had to make it 4wd and it's still FWD biased, and $35K ! Ugh.
I should emphasize I really like the current GTI. Don't mean to criticize it's FWD-ness. I just mean that if it were RWD, it'd be the bargain sports car of the century.
