I wanna get a 96' or newer GTI vr6 as my first car. Have around 3500 bucks to spend. Hoping to buy one with mods already on but im talking about stock form right now. Just wondering if they're quick? Like compared to say a: Pontiac Grand Am GT? Or an older mustang? I want to have a quicker and more nimble car than the others at my school. They all think muscle cars are so great... gotta love Pennsylvania.
