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.

I purchased my 2016 GTI Autobahn used with around 20k miles and drove it from Albuquerque, NM to Traverse City, MI in a little over 26 hours. Needless to say I had a chance to bond with it over nearly every road condition you can imagine. With almost every option minus the lane / cruise assist and DCC, the car is extremely comfortable with a well laid out interior. I have minor gripes with the cruise and window buttons (I really liked the previous Mk6 stalk mounted cruise which you didn't have to look away from the road to adjust and window buttons on the upper slant of the door handle where your fingers can easily find them), but overall everything is where you expect it to be. The quiet, well insulated cabin helps make the most of its ample Fender (Panasonic) sound system. With just over a year and 20k additional miles I can honestly say the GTI is about the best all around car I've ever owned. I just nails it's main objective of being a fun to drive hot-hatch really well, while doing everything else with the effortless grace of a car well above it's price range. Even during a brutal stretch of northern Michigan winter, it was still a blast to drive. Whether hauling ass around a bend or bikes to my favorite trail the GTI is eager to please. The only changes I've made have been slightly wider Michelin P4S on wider rims for summer and narrow rims with tall Michelin Ice-X's for the cold which I highly recommend. Having dedicated summer and winter tires expands the cars envelope exponentially.

Quality built car. The engine is a MONSTER !!!!! I was looking at mini Cooper and test drove the gti and was sold. The space and fuel economy and powerful sports car is a no brainier. The quality that went into this car is ridiculous from the steering wheel to the interior doors.
