There was a nice AWD R for sale for $19K and the GTI I bought for $7.5K and lower miles. It doesn't snow where I live, so it made no sense at all to get the R. The cornering of the 2WD GTI is nothing less than astounding. Of course it's a special edition Fahrenheit with suspension set up by Porsche, but still. It's plenty fast, too. Since it snows where you live, the AWD R might make sense. It's up to you.
