Rocket that leaves change in your Pocket
An incredibly fun car to drive, with a solid feel and quality styling. The backseat is a bit tight.
Good value for money!
This is a beautiful little car and a lot of fun to drive. It's very responsive and very lively for a four cylinder engine. It has great build quality inside and out. I got it fully loaded with everything and it cost me $21,500. I like German Engineering, you definately are more in tune with the road and automatic is definately a waste of money. Manual is your only man:-)

Tons 'O Fun
I just picked up a Reflex Silver/Black Cloth Interior, 17" wheels, Luxury Package, Cold Weather Package--The Lux Package & Cold Weather Package were a bonus as they could not locate a GTI with black cloth and 17" wheels. Wow! What a Car. Handles like a dream. Great on gas. Super cool European Styling. A real value. Fun to drive, distinctive looking. And my transaction with Attatamian VW/ Honda was the best by far on any new car purchase. I have had 5 new car purchases in the last 10 years. Ask for Joe Abernathy--Great guy. He'll get you what you want, at a reasonable price.
This car is amazing!
I am so happy with my choice of cars. German engineering has really shown through with the GTI. Its fun to drive, and the 180HP is a blast.
Wow -- I want to drive all the time now!
This car is a WOW!!! Talk about power, its got it, and then some! and the Leather and heated seats, add in the Computer Assisted Handling thats normaly on the $$$$ cars.. This GTI rocks!!!!!!!!!!!! -- One thing I couldn't beleive was the insurance was more then my SUV.. but all worth it! :)
Fun to drive
I have owned this car since last July, i have owned one other VW in my time, and this is a contiuned experience in the ultimate fun, comfort, reliabilty and all around excellent car experience. I couldn't possibly think about going back to another brand after this. What other company can boast such a family like following. The aftermarket makes it such a pleasure to work on and make this little car your own. You couldn't possibly get bored with this VW. Just get a subscription to EuroTuner Mag and your brain will be filled with the possiblities. you won't even have to break your bank. and many you can do by yourself. So try it out, performance, comfort, luxury. it's got it all!
Never stranded, but always annoyed!!!!!
I like the car. It is decent for milage and gas and getting me from A to B. I do not like going to the dealer to drop $160 so frequently to get a new Oxygen sensor. What the heck is that all about? Why do I have to see my obnoxious little engine light on **SO** much???????? It is too bad you can return cars, because I would have out of shear frustration.... Too new for these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
VW GTI
Overall, this is a great car. The engine is smooth and powerful. And the car feels very solid. A little too much performance is sacrificed for comfort.
Drive it. You'll get it.
Volkswagen is right with that one. I test-drove the 1.8T after I took out a Mazda 3 5-door from the same lot... there is no comparison. It feels like you are one with the road, handles great, and there is a lot of power inside. Sometimes, the thought of the drive home is the only thing that gets me through 12 hour days waiting tables!
