Used 2003 Volkswagen GTI Consumer Reviews
A Blast
A total blast to drive. Power is excellent and very controllable. Steering is solid. Good over all features and comfort - seats are very good.
After 1000
So far, I've managed to avoid all of the problems I've read in other reviews here (lucky me... I truly feel for the rest of you). That is, the windows work and the car doesn't rattle hardly at all. Of course, the cupholder is COMPLETELY usless, though ;) One thing that sucked was the car was sold to me with a drained battery, so it didn't start the next day after I bought it. (Props to VW's roadside assistance, though!) Well, not a perfect start with my new GTI I suppose, but I still love to drive it! A great car so far, but its relaibility is questionable.

mistake
I was seduced by the the little red car when I first saw her on the lot. Yes, it is fast, yes, it is fun to drive, no I didn't like driving a rental Dodge Neon (provided by VW) while it was in the shop for a week. Multiple problems, ignition coil failed, both windows broke, monsoon stereo replace once (still sounds horrible), seat belt replaced, engine light on, interior trim falling apart, leaking around the bottom of the passenger door. She may be fast and nice to look at, but I have dumped her after a year. See ya VW
Best Sports Hatchback Out There
I have had my GTI for about 3 months now and have enjoyed every second. I got mine with every option. Taking into consideration the power, smooth refinement, luxurious feel, and the price it is by far the best sports hatchback on the market. I must also say that had another very good buying experience with Dave Walter VW in Akron. This the second car I bought from them and both times it was the best car buying experience I have had. So if you are in the Northeast Ohio area be sure to check them out.
The Best GTI Yet!
This is my third GTI after owning an '87 16V and then a '95 VR6. I feel all of my complaints with the other two were addressed with the Anniversary Edition. There is no more rolling through the curves, no more wobbly shifter, and a tighter suspension. This car is hot looking and fun to drive!
