    Volkswagen GTI

    EPA MPG: 27 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There is 1 recall on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    The Golf GTI has always distinguished itself with promising performance upgrades and much sharper handling compared to the more pedestrian Golf models. Yet, the GTI always preserved the civility that has long made Volkswagen’s sporty hatchback a polished daily driver. Unfortunately, the car's infotainment system is a usability nightmare, making it complicated for the driver to perform even common audio and climate tasks.
