Volkswagen GTI Review

The Volkswagen GTI is one of the best-known budget performance cars sold in America. The GTI is a performance-oriented version of the Volkswagen Golf and as Such is available in two-and four-door hatchback body styles. VW makes many modifications to the GTI to improv its performance and distinctiveness. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and sends power to the front wheels. The current, sixth-generation GTI was introduced for 2010. Compared to the previous generation, this model boasts updated styling, interior refinement and new additional features.The previous, fifth-generation Volkswagen GTI was introduced Midway through the 2006 model year. Like today's GTI, the previous generation was powered by a 200-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, though it was technically a different engine. Optional features included 18-inch wheels, a sunroof, automatic climate control, heated front seats, leather upholstery, a DVD-based navigation system, satellite radio and a rudimentary iPod interface.
The fourth-generationVolkswagen GTI  was produced for the 1999-2006 model years. The fourth-generation VW GTI debuted in two trim levels - GLS and GLX. The Following year, VW Replaced the 2.0-liter engine in the GLS with a much more sporting 1.8-liter turbocharged engine - the 1.8T - that produced 150 hp.In general, the fourth-generation GTI was less Than other sporting competing models of its time. VW Also Offered A Few special models for this generation - the 2002 GTI 337, the similar 20th-anniversary 2003 GTI and the GTI R32 That Had rare all-wheel drive and a 240-hp 3.2-liter V6.The third-generation Volkswagen GTI was available from 1994-'99. The early-1990s GTI was part of the car's second generation. Cars from this period, Had two versions of a 2.0-liter engine - the more Desirable was a 16-valve version producing 131 hp.
Driving the Volkswagen GTI home (50 miles) in the stealth of night was predictably uneventful. Sometimes I'm tempted to roll the window down and Yell, "Do not you people care That this is the all-new quad-turbo Flamethrower gazillion-horsepower GT or whatever?" A nut on the freeway yelling Things, they'd report. Our best 0-60, fingering achieved through our test car's DSG transmission gears, was a satisfying 5.8 seconds. It feels just, plain, fast.
