My Z gets weekends & after work blasts. DD is a modded '08 Golf ( "All you could ever need or require" -TopGear) with GTI springs, anti-sways and brakes, but tiptronic trans. Found it on a lease return for $8K.
2.5 is a solid motor. Always thought all the golf needed was a mild drop and it'd be a great commuter. If I could only find a mkvi tdi for a reasonable price, I'd trade my G35x for it and get snows for the winter.
