The other comparisons are great too. The GTI is stick, and whatever I get next will be as well (I need 3 pedals, ha). Either of the sports packages are a definite too, and maybe more for the seats than anything else.
I actually don't even want the premium package (I hate sunroofs, and power seats annoy the hell out of me), but for 2013, if I want Xenon headlights, it's a must. I have HIDs on the GTI, and I can't fathom having another DD without them, but it turns a $900 option into a ~$3000 option (discounting leather, since I was going to get that anyway).
It's not a settled debate (I still have plenty of time), but I'm leaning about as heavily toward the 1 as I can right now.

Would buying a CPO'd 1er be an option for you? There are some pretty decent deals out there for lower mileage cars, although you might have to hunt around for them. You would save a few bucks plus, if I understand the 2013 packaging correctly, you could get xenon's without the full premium package. I also prefer not to have power seats... but a sunroof is a must!
