So I've been trying to decide what car to get and my options have basically boiled down to either a CPO BMW m235i (roughly 38k out the door) or a Volkswagen Golf GTI S.
Now let me be perfectly clear. I hate the look of the GTI but on paper I think it's exactly what I need. I can buy one brand new out the door for less than 24k
I plan on putting a good amount of miles on whichever car I end up going with
What do you guys think? Is the extra $13k worth the BMW style/luxury and speed? I've driven every economy hatchback on the market: Prius, ct200h, mazda3, etc.. and I hate the flimsy and thin feel of them and love the thickness and isolation of a BMW. But on paper it just doesn't seem worth it. What do you guys think
Because none of us can afford one so we all hate on the idea of someone buying something that we can't

If you have 38k, buy a Mustang GT or Camaro SS.

the M235i is on another planet compared to the gtslow. It sounds better, its more powerful, its correct wheel drive, it isnt a volkswagen, it'll hold its value better because "muh baby M".
If your considering a gti for the practicality, why not an M135i/M140i? If you get one before they go front wheel drive then it'll be worth a bit more when you sell it.
