don't waste money on a GTI, I had a 05 and put about $8K under the hood of that car and it was still "Slow" to my standards and others, I put $2k into my AWD Turbo eclipse and would do circles around that GTI. but if you want something with good gas mileage and handles pretty well around corners and can afford the up keep (which, im guessing if you own a Ducati then you can probably afford a GTI lol) then I say go for the GTI but don't waste money on upgrades lol
