Get a GTi 2012 or later as they have a few issues that have been revised, such as the timing chain tensioner.
Manifolds are common to go (mine actually just went 2 days ago and now replacing it). I've also had my coil packs go and leave me stranded, although this is an easy fix - simply get audi R8 ones.. haven't have an issue with them to date.
Ew, R. I have always argued that the GTi interior is a ton better that the R, but personal preference I guess. Good luck
