The actual GTI may have VW faults, but it comes together and is a "real" car, the way a 911 or 3-series is, it's been 40-years+ in the making.
Yeah, the X2 I had as a service loaner was boring af. It was mostly fine, but your description of it being a forgettable anycar slathered with BMW logos is spot on.
