I love my 1er, i've done the tuner econobox thing for years, Cobalt SS, SRT4, RSX-S, etc and im so happy being in a RWD car now. The GTI is a great car focused on practicality, quality and some performance. Moving to a 1er you might find a downgrade in the interior a bit (depends on options) and practicality (2 door). These are easily made up for by the overall quality, driving feel and performance of the 1er.
I had the option to buy a 2012 STI or my 09 135i. So glad I chose the 1er.
