Why it stands out

For the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI, the biggest headline is the loss of the manual transmission. For the first time in nearly 50 years, it won’t be available with a manual, and VW says the decision was driven by a lack of demand in Germany, even though demand increased in North America. That change matters because this is one of the first hot hatchbacks, so the shift away from a stick shift is a notable moment in the car’s history.

Even with that change, the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI remains appealing because it is still described as one of the best hatchbacks you can buy today. Its terrific powertrain and everyday practicality make it a strong fit for buyers who want a useful car that is also extremely fun to drive. The test-drive notes also point to improved technology and impressive fuel economy as strengths, while acknowledging that a price increase reduces overall value and that the haptic slider controls remain frustrating.
