Both you and NurseHolliday are probably better judges than me as you both seem to have had your heads in cars a fair bit. What's the reason for leaning golf-ways?
In terms of remaps etc. Well, my mechanic would definitely convince me to go VAG since he has knowledge and software. Mind you, it's not outright speed I'm after, it's a good drive experience so things like the steering or gearshift matter.
I should add too, I'd be happy with a golf GTI but they are expensive in comparison and tend to be in worse condition.

For me, i just think the Golf is the best all rounder, sure it's maybe bit bland and sensible, but the golf comes out as the car i'd actually want to daily. Plus they go like a cut cat especially with a remap.
I have almost bought spicy French cars on a few occasions, the last Peugeot we looked at had horrible noisy suspension which I knew would drive me mad on a daily basis. The prospect of maintaining those alcons on a road car would definitely put me off.
If the POS Subaru i'm running about has a major let go any time soon i'll be looking for a Mk6 GTI i think.

I’d go mk7 Golf R all day long.
Tbh I’d be happy with the GTI equally.
Could you budget for the golf R and a remap?
