Is it fun? That 1.5L is a mess, it's slow and really large, without much space inside. A GTI S isn't much more expensive, has 40 more horsepower and 80lb/ft more, it's 16" shorter and doesn't give up much interior space.
It is a lot less sporty, it's got a very smooth ride and certainly feels more civilized than my GTI. But fun wouldn't be a term I'd use for it. Plus the tuning potential of the GTI is huge compared to the Honda.
