Bro, Golf GTi will be a bit out of budget for me. Besides, it's my wife that is using the car. For me, I might be using it only weekend for some fun driving. I have an Airtrek Turbo myself with about 300hp, so that is my personal ride. :DBetter get the Polo GTI since it's much faster than the Golf TSi. It's smaller so easy enough for the wife, but can go quite fast for you. If you buy Golf TSi and try to mod it, then you forgone the warranty already and still not as fast as the Polo even if you manage to get the same power output. Moreover the fuel consumption would not be as good too due to heavier car than the Polo.
As for the MPS, it's on 15k discount already??? That means the car is not selling well. I personally don't like the look of it, and I think that level of power is a bit over already for FWD car. One of my friend had test driven it and he said the handling is not good as the torque steer is still too much and the chassis cannot match the power. But again this friend of mine is driving FD2R which is a great handling car for a high performance FWD.
MPS looks very fierce but too young for me. And moreover, it's manual and my wife wanted auto. So it's out for now.

Opps.. you're saying Polo GTi. I think it's a bit smallish, we prefer Golf :)
