Last year I got Michelin PS4s (225/18) and I just enjoy the car so much. My wife calls it a Fire Breathing Dragon and compared to her Honda Jazz, the GTI feels alive.
I also have a similar upgrade list like yours - better Brembo brakes, downpipes for a more throaty sound, body wrap. But am sending my kids thru uni and school so my wish list is on back burner for now. Early this year someone rammed into my rear and thank God it's a german-made car.
In short - it's a great buy, fun like hell (esp turbo farts) and can mod it kaw2 to your delight.
Afaik Michelin PS4S is available in 19 above, yours should be PS4.
I'm using 3" dp, catless and milltek system, the pop fart really satisfying.

i am driving a 2012 se version, stage 2, original ap 6 pot, downpipe, exhaust, intake, rear roll bar.
beside of high power, it also have high quality interior, definitely a good buy for 80-100k.
now i am thinking should i sell it for an a45~
Go for it if you can afford, 45 series is my next car once my Vellfire fully paid off.

Just drove a '09 Porsche Cayman S (3400cc) and to my surprise it felt sluggish at low RPM and the oh-so-famous balanced handling wasnt all that wonderful. Maybe my expectations were wrong but when I went behind the wheels of my stock GTI - oh yeah baby, seems like more 'fun'. Already clocked 150k kms on it and going strong.
I agree with you, I've tested my friend's Porsche 997, maybe due to NA, that's why didn't brought me any excitement too.
