The new mk7 GTIs are lot more refined and the stock engine is much torquier. I would say it is as fast as the MK6 R. The interior is nicer in the MK7.
I think VWs are hit or miss in terms of reliability; having said that, I would be scared of driving a R out of warranty, which it would be after 2 more years. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
