The Original Hot Hatch and It Rocks!!!!

I'm at 6,000 miles on my 2003 1.8t GTI and so far it's been a great ride. Fuel ecomony is good but does take a hit if you "drive" the car. But it's worth the hit trust me. I get a smile on my face every time I'm behind the wheel. The 1.8t engine is suberb and delivers plenty of power when needed. The car handles like a dream especially on the twisty roads here in New England. The Monsoon sound system is sounds awesome and delivers some serious bass for a factory stereo. Over all it's everything I expected!!!!!!!

When the time came to replace a 1966 Mustang I'd used as a daily driver for eight years, I had all but signed the dotted line to order a new Mini Cooper when I discovered the GTI. A weekend spent comparing the two cars quickly showed the Mini couldn't hold a candle to the Volkswagen in terms of build quality, handling and just-plain- fun. Now that I've had the GTI for just over a year, I've had no reason to regret my decision. My wife and I recently completed a trip from Denver to Dallas [910 miles] in one fifteen hour drive. Neither of us felt beat up or exhausted. Great seats!

Have had this car for about a year now. It is just a ball to drive in any conditions. Power is great at stock levels[180} but chip it and now you can get real scary power in the low to mid range where it really shows it's muscles. Imola Yellow color gets the looks [Cops too!!] but what a cool ride.
