the 1.8t's are known to catch on fire lol, specially if they're modded. if you want something thats reliable, go with a 2.0, if you want stock performance, as in you dont want to mod it too much, id get a vr6. they're torquey little guys.

yeah i have been looking at the engines and such and it seems like almost any engine will go in any of them. plus if you want to im pretty sure the golf front ends bolt right up.

i want a vr6 if any of them.

i wouldnt go so far as to say they are reliable, maybe a bit moreso then dsm's, but ive seen more vw's breaking down around me then dsm's are. my friends vr6 just spun a bearing, he got the motor replaced, then not even a week later he broke his halfshaft
