This is the powertrain the GTI has needed to arouse its lustiest, twistiest tendencies. In the GTI, the VR6 engine breathes out 200 hp at 6200 rpm and twists out 195 lb-ft of torque at 3200 rpm. So equipped VW says it will rush to 60 mph in about 7.7 seconds through its stock six-speed manual transmission. The gobs of torque and smooth six-speed linkage make it a joy to row and go. You might automatically assume that more cylinders means more speed here, but you’d be ill informed. If you choose the four-cylinder, 1.8-liter turbo and the five-speed manual transmission, it’s actually quicker to 60 mph (doing the run in 7.5 seconds) than the more powerful and weightier VR6 option. But saddle the turbo with the Tiptronic automatic and it slows into the mid-eights. Either way, you’re still a few ticks off the quickest, most expensive SVT Focus or Tiburon V-6, too, but not completely out of contention. Aug 16, 2012

1999 Golf GTI - 20v Turbo I have owned the car for 4 years and it's been great. Not worthy of a GTI badge as standard, but it's now heavily modified and does the business! This car has covered 137,000mls and still feels and sounds like new. Apart from cambelts and regular servicing, the car has never broken down or failed. The only issues i've ever had are a squeak from the dash and another from the wiper linkage, but very easily sorted - especially now that lots of spares are available. In summary, i would say that if you're looking for an exciting hot hatch, get your wallet out and invest in good quality modifications - But if you want a great looking, economical car which will last, this is the one.Apr 02, 2010
