When traction is not an issue they're basically the same car. For normal spirited driving you'd never know the difference.
In snow and wet, huge difference.
The difference is really in the all wheel drive. Not the engine or the handling. In fact the GTI is like 300 lbs lighter.
So it is better, but whether it's worth it depends on your finances
