I will always have a Volkswagen gti.
The sensors are super touchy, any DIY projects must remapped in computer software. The water pump was recalled in 2015 but was replaced under warranty. The drive is fun, fast and comfortable. The car has bucket seats for the front passengers. The steering wheel has an unique shape that the drive will love.

It goes fast which is why i bought it. It is also a great family car and offers a lot of space when needed
Well i have blown turbo, needed a water pump and have had to get a new radiator too, the tires are awesome but a terror to replace

Volkswagens are amazing automobiles.
I have never had any problems with my car. I have it tuned so it is faster than stock. I do all my own maintenance including oil changes. The car died come with free oil changes. I love the all leather interior. Really helps with keeping it clean since I have a 3 year old daughter.

After 2014 this vehicle is no longer made in Germany.
I have to get my vehicle realigned every three months. If I don't I have to buy new tires every three months. Frequent tire rotations are a must to keep this issue a minimum.

It is a great car! Love it!
It is very comfortable, with leather seats. It also has an amazing fender sound system, with awesome bass and subwoofer. The sport mode is amazing and fun for driving fast and turning corners hard. I really like the red trim and lights the car has inside when it is dark out. I also like the shape of the headlights, because it is different from other cars. It is a nicely sized vehicle - a little tight for road trips - but good nonetheless.

Love it. Fun to drive and fast.
It really is a great car. Super fun to drive. Great gas mileage. I have taken it on long road trips and have had no problems. For being as small as it is, it is pretty spacious inside. Drives smoothly. If you are considering this vehicle, I say go for it.

I love my Volkswagen gti mk7.
Super great and fast vehicle. Really reliable. Hasn't given me any issues at all. Love the way the car picks up when you punch the gas. Have a few tasteful mods done to it. Couldn't be any happier. Enjoy all the features it has like sport mode and seat heaters.

Modern hot hatch - perfect mix of fun and safety.
I have only owned my gti for 2 months. But I have had one problem with it. The EPC light came on right after bought the car. Because of this, it took almost 3 weeks to find and fix the issue. However once fixed the car runs like a dream. Fun to drive, eye catching and comfortable, the perfect mix.

Second hand Volkswagen with few mileage didn't have a good performance
We purchased it second hand but very few mileage and still covered by warranty. It's two years now but before this time like 6 months ago the car didn't start. We sent it to have it checked and repaired but till now it's not done not working good. A warranty problem is one and knowing it's not an old car, we were expecting a good performance but we failed.

Big performance in a little body.
The driving experience is like no other vehicle I have had. The dual-clutch provides a quickness and reliability for safe driving. The hatchback layout provides comfort and plenty of space for hauling kids, groceries, sporting equipment, lumber, and more.
