Nevermind. Seems like I stepped into the hardcore elitist snob-anyone-without-a-GTI site by mistake instead of a proper Golf enthusiast site I was looking for.
Jeez man, dont get all bent out of shape about it. 80% of all the users here are American. The 1.4TSI is not sold here. That should immediately tell you you're not going to get the responses you want.
However consider this:
65% of the car is the body. Both the TSI and GTI share the same framework. That in turn is really the only similarities they share.
1.4TSI vs 2.0T are two completely different engines....cant really compare
Driveline should be the same probably with no XDS
Transmission I'm sure is different.
No matter what, you DONT have a GTI.
