The best bang for your buck.
The vehicle has perfect power for driving around town, passing on the highway or just plain having fun on twists and turns. It is has practical space, decent fuel efficiency and wonderful handling characteristics. So easy to park. You cannot go wrong with a gti.

2020 VW gti s “darth gti”.
I am a 2 time VW gti owner. I leased 2009 gti and I currently own a 2020 gti s. One of the features I am in love with is the radio. This is the first time I own a car with such a great feature of the car. I love how the 2020 model has 260 ft/lbs of torque and the 230hp. It has great pickup for a 2.0l 4 cylinder engine. The 3 driving modes is something I am consistently using. It has been a month since I got the car, I can't stop smiling every time I get in it. If you are thinking about getting a VW gti don't settle for the s model. Try to get the se or sel (autobahn), well worth the money. I miss having a sunroof and the dcc control is something I would have loved to have.

The gti is a car worth your while. Go to your dealer today and drive one!
This vehicle is easy to drive, sporty, responsive, fast, gas efficient and a car that I would purchase again. The car is fully loaded and has all the features a person could want for the price point. The seats are comfortable and all the features work well.

Volkswagen gti enjoyment for all.
Great turbo pickup, heated seats replaced under warranty, good gas mileage, fun to drive on twisty roads, driving comfort a b+, sunroof is wonderful, I have used my useful hatchback for many purposes, I have the light package and it makes a huge difference in turning the car to see better and brightness.

Amazing car, you will not regret buying this hot hatch.
The car is just beautifully designed. The body lines are gorgeous. The standard features are really nice. The car drives simply amazing. The suspension feels so good and it handles like a dream! So far, it is also very comfortable and reliable. The 2.0t engine is fast and doesn't consume too much gas. I love driving the car in sport mode.

Gti se is a great daily driver.
Honestly I have had my gti for a couple months and I have no complaints so far. It has given me zero issues. The performance and handling is amazing and I love the sound of the turbo. The infotainment is great except that the Bluetooth occasionally stops for half a second randomly every once in a while but immediately goes back. The rest is very comfortable and it's a great looking car.

2020 VW gti-the perfect jack of all trades.
It is a urano grey, 6 speed manual. It is rated at 220 hp and 270 ft/lbs torque. It is the perfect daily driver that combines creature comforts and performance. It is also very safe and has saved me from a near rear-end collision. The car drives like a dream and maintenance is easy. It has a great aftermarket.

Buy one! You'll love it! Trust me!
Excellent! Five stars. Buy a VW gti and you'll fall in love with driving all over again. This is the most performance you can buy for $30,000. The interior is comfortable and I love the plaid seats. I have a manual transmission which makes driving even more fun. It has excellent handling and acceleration! Nimble and agile. Mine is black. I added tint after market to complete the look.
