About Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0L 2-Door FWD
5 Overall rating(4 reviews)
Jul 11, 2008
I loved this car!
Performance: I had this 2 litre tuned with pretty much everything I could afford. Chip, air-filter, camshaft, was enough to make it a respectable performer. Also it had an Eibach lowered suspension with 16" wheels and low-profile tires.
Build quality: Great. It's a VW.
Appearance: I loved the boxey European look. Hatchbacks are the most practical cars in my opinion.
Cost of ownership: Not too bad. Insurance was higher because it says "GTI". Premium gas, but it performed excellently with it.
Fun Factor: 5/5. I loved cruising down river valley road at night with the moon-roof open. It was heaven on wheels!
