VW GTI 2009 or Subaru Impreza WRX 2009?
I live in a snowy state and I need a car that would get me to my work on daily basis, which is kind of uphill drive. which would do better the GTI with all season performance tires ( I can change it to snow tries if it makes that much of a difference) or the WRX? I still can't decide, I love them both, please help

2009 Volkswagen GTI shaking while stopped?
it has a DSG transmission by the way I just got an 09 GTI about three weeks ago and today I realized that it started shaking when I was stopped at red lights. Sometimes it shook more than others but it was never a lot. I havent driven it in almost about 5 days if that might be why. Is there a problem with the car, is it just a GTI thing, or is it...

It sounds like an intermittent miss-fire. It is definitely not because it is brand new and not broken in (run -in) yet. Probably a faulty spark plug, coil or HT wire. Get it checked out by your local mechanic. He should be able yo pinpoint exactly where the problem lies.

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Volkswagen GTI lands somewhere between less-mature small, sporty coupes and hatches, like the Civic Si and Mazdaspeed3, and more mature, entry-level sporty luxury coupes like the BMW 1-Series.

The Volvo C30 is perhaps the most direct rival to the GTI, though the C30 is decidedly sportier in appearance.

Audi’s A3 is a slightly larger alternative to the GTI, with five doors for those who want something closer to a wagon.

It is admittedly quite a bit more expensive.

Yet another rival for the GTI is the MINI Cooper S; many urbanites might appreciate its smaller, nimbler feel.
