VOLKSWAGEN GOLF

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is a hot hatch that truly covers all the bases. Four decades of history has made this car the most complete yet, and even fast rivals can't dent its appeal. The swift and flexible 2.0 litre turbo petrol engine is the best around, while the Golf GTI is also mated to a chassis that manages to be comfortable yet grip tenaciously through the corners. Underlying everything is the original GTI promise of genuinely exciting performance in a practical, high-quality package. It's a recipe that has always succeeded in the past. There are other hot hatches around, but few are as complete as this.
The Golf GTI is a very comfortable car on all roads. In comfort mode the car glides along so serenely that you'd never guess it features lower, stiffer suspension, while Sport mode tightens things up nicely. It doesn't seem to compromise the handling either, as the GTI once again proves that it's a brilliant all-rounder.
