He's probably talking about the 204hp 24v VR6.  The 30v V6 is an Audi motor used in the Passat, A4, A6.  It's too wide for the Golf/Jetta, hence the creation of the 15 degree VR6.

I would say now is not the time to buy a GTI, unless it's the 337 or the upcoming 20th anniversary model (basically a 337 with different wheels and different paint colors).  My roommate has a 337 and the slightly firmer chassis makes a world of difference in how the car feels.  The MkIV GTIs are usually way too soft for me.

The MkV chassis is due out in a couple years, it should be interesting.  Independent rear suspension for the first time, the 1.8t grows to 2.0L.  Hopefully they don't make it bigger and heavier again.
