What Volkswagen Golf GTI do most buyers choose?

The Volkswagen Golf GTI years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

What is the Volkswagen Golf GTI's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used because it means prices have softened across much of the range.

That gives you a broad spread of options depending on how much you want to spend.

The 2015, 2020, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
