Fun to drive and has a great balance of power and fuel economy. There is very limited space under the hood so small fixes like headlights are difficult if you have larger hands. Surprisingly the GTI has more features than a later model TSI. Overall a great car!

Enjoyable hatchback, good fuel economy , excellent driver experience, completely affordable for the budget that wouldn’t be available in a sport model car,. Great reaction from throttle with enough turbo boost to take that semi in front of you that you have been stuck behind for 5 miles now. Roomy For the hatchback class,. Sound system is enough for your needs as a speaker jockey or weekend driver. The GTI is the affordable type R for those of us on a budget. Yet still very above grade for those seeking to invest in for your Euro club car. GTI is the fastest Volkswagen ever built. Sourced by Volkswagen themselves. Not the exact model as the 2016 but non the less at a top recorded speed of 155mph it will do the job as well as some garage gurus take in for that weekend wrench project. Very satisfied with my 2nd golf and first GTI.
