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.

Same here. '11 TDI for commute and as the workhorse (plus 36 MPG combined and 44+ highway is nice for what is boring driving anway).
Hmmm. You retrofitted GTI brakes? My only complaint on the Golf TDI are the brakes, otherwise it's a great DD, and good trainer (momentum not power in corners). I guess I need to look into a retrofit.
