On Target

The Golf GTI is VW's flagship and one of the most legendary nameplates worldwide. It is the true definition of a hot hatch.

What We Like

Goes like a bullet - 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. Driver-focused cabin, and twin chrome exhausts deliver a great note.

What We Do Not Like

No manual gearbox. Front seats suit spirited driving but lack adjustability; heated, not ventilated, seats offered.
