Getting a GTI again would've saved me a lot of money, but I feel the MK6 (and now the 7) isn't much different from my current MKV, so I quickly ignored the price difference



Same here!

Neither of you will be disappointed I assure you. My 125i now has 4k miles and with every drive its getting better and better.

I was lucky enough to get it and my old MK6 GTI side by side. The GTI both exterior and interior now looks very shabby compared to the 1er.

The 1er is more refined than the GTI for sure. However the overall driving experience of the 1er is better, with the linear delivery, rwd and pointing the car into corners.
