The GRC is 50k starting for the base, add 10K for premium model for the nice goodies so 60K. Add 2.5K (iirc) for automatic. The Golf R is 50K (52K with DSG) fully loaded. So you save ~10K, plus you skip all the bullshit Toyota dealer games that they are still playing.
The GTI/Golf R has way more rear seat and trunk space than the GRC. I say that as someone who's had to ride in the back of both. The trunk space of the GTI/Golf hatches are unmatched now that Honda has done weird slopey things to the back of the Civic Type R.
The GRC has laughably little space for a hatch, which is true of the base Corolla hatch that it is based on, and even worse for the GRC since it has a high rear floor thanks to the location of the rear diff/driveshaft etc.
