GTI on the Fly

2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI SE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

The car is a driver's car, a real fun car to drive. The ride is somewhat dependent upon the type of tires that are on the GTI from the manufacturer. We have Hankook all season tires which are a harder rubber compound and a nosier tire so the ride is a bit nosy and you feel the bumps a bit more although not a deal breaker. But that's to be expected with a performance car and this car DOES perform. The interior looks like that of a luxury car and is much more than one can expect for a car in this class. Fit and finish is excellent and the quality of the leather and other materials is excellent and rather plush as well. It looks like VW has finally turned the corner after "diesel gate" and brought a quality and impressive car to the market. If this is things to come for VW, I believe they'll be back in front as a premier auto manufacturer.

GTI Sport 6M - Most fun I've had in a long time

I purchased this Sport 6M after a long search for the right manual transmission car. As one of the dinosaurs who still likes to shift his own gears, my options are getting more limited. I previously owned two BMW 328i models that I loved, but as they grew older, they became a lot less reliable. I wanted to find a car that has a strong track record for reliability but is also fun to drive. Every comparison test that included a GTI mentioned that these are near-perfect cars. The more I read, the more I realized I'm missing an opportunity. This car is such a blast to drive. Enough power to get me through my commute, but also makes weekend drives so much more fun. I forgot how much I love to drive and feel that connection to a car. The interior is better than I expected, the Clark Plaid seats aren't just a talking point, they're comfortable and so supportive. The shifting is easy and precise, although it took me some time to adapt. It took me a minute to get over the fact that I'm a 40 year old who drives a "hot hatch", but it's not a mid life crisis car. It is practical as much as it is fun. Overall I am thrilled with this choice. I have a 9 year old car enthusiast son who is begging me to keep this car until he is old enough to drive...he may get his wish because I see no reason to move on.

I've been driving it only for 20 days. I should have bought this years ago.

I love this car. I have wanted a Golf forever, but it was always just out of my price range. This car has everything I could want. If I could add one thing, it would be a sun roof, but I'm not bothered by the lack of one.
