CONS: bouncy ride, can eat a lot of fuel

REVIEW: Overall I really like my GTI, can't beat the value. Has the look and feel of more expensive cars. I feel confident on the road with it and would definitely buy another. The only problem is the fuel consumption can be high if you are a spirited driver. ...

CONS: none

REVIEW: Sheer driving pleasure! I'm 55 yrs. old and thought I was through with sports cars. Test drove GTI and promptly took it home. [Once owned 86 GTI,loved it but VW "went soft" for next 20 yrs.] VW returned to the true driver's wish list and a 100% pure GTI was unleashed. 2 yrs. ...

CONS: Front drive not as good as the R32 versions awd for performance

REVIEW: This is my 56th car, 15th volkswagen and 6th GTI.This is by far the best examples of the GTI and really a fun little car to own and drive. I mean really, how many cars can provide 30+ mpg for commuting, but still provide serious acceleration and handling, all wrapped in a nicely finished interior ...

CONS: Premium fuel

REVIEW: This car is amazing. It will fit anyone and make you just as excited to drive a car as you were when you got your license. The price after options is a bit high, but worth it. The premium fuel gives really good gas mileage for a sports car. The practicality mixed with fun is unmatched by any car ...

CONS: the only think is that it consumes a lot of gas average 19 mpg

REVIEW: i dont know if it is because i tend to play to much with this little beast. near 3000 RPM the turbo kicks in and it can get very fast. but i dont get a good mpg. the inside is very sporty and nice. i love the car and that is my second GTI i use to have the 03 VR6 and their are a lots of ...

CONS: Would be incredible with the 2.0L TDI Engine

REVIEW: I just traded out of an '07 Rabbit and have been thoroughly enjoying the upgrade. The Rabbit was a blast to drive, but the GTI just flies! I love the stiffer suspension and the even tighter handling around corners and through turns. I haven't done any performance upgrades to it yet, ...

CONS: aux jack in glove box & only 1 accesory plug-in up front!

REVIEW: I have had mu '07 GTI for 3 months now, bought it w/ 9k miles on it. I drive 100 miles a day combined city & hwy. I drive it pretty hard at times, but still am getting 27 MPG in town. Hwy only, I am getting between 31-32 MPG driving 65-70 mph. Combined around 29 MPG. That is incredible ...

CONS: A bit rougher ride with the smaller tires..but if I wanted smooth I'd have a 7 series BMW

REVIEW: A perfect run around town car. The gas mileage is great. The leather sport seats are comfortable. My GTI Turbo is fully loaded with all the creature comforts and then some. (Only lacking power seats) And as far as storage space-I spent over $500 in groceries yesterday,(2 carts full), and all ...

CONS: Price, recomended fuel 91 octane and higher

REVIEW: Even with high gas prices and mid-grade - premium fuel, you'll be trying to find places to drive this car. The price is a bit high, but you're getting A LOT for it. ...

CONS: Price tag, seat adjustment

REVIEW: After test driving everything from BMW 335, 135, Mercedes c300, c350, Acura TSX, TL, Honda Civic and Accord EXL, Ford and GM, Nissan Z etc. I must say that GTI is the best mix of fun, performance, pleasure with crazy good DSG gear box, while keeping the small car efficiency. It is the closest thing ...
