New VW Golf GTI
Last Updated:
Again, the Golf/Rabbit’s sporty brother.
This time it gets a little bump in power, to 207hp, and the “new” exterior. Plus the real new interior.
I like the GTI the way it is now. So I guess this could only be better, even if it’s not “all new” like they say.
i know it’s not a really new or exciting design, but everything they changed, i like! headlights are cool, and the little red-rimmed grill.
Looks great. It is a little more Scirocco-like. Maybe this will silence some of the whiners complaining that we in the USA don’t get the Scirocco. Personally, I wouldn’t have the Scirocco. It isn’t very practical for what is essentially a GTI. Give me four doors and a usable cargo area. Everything else is pretty much equal.
The new engine will make a big difference even though horsepower is just slightly up and gas mileage is improved as well. I want this.
front is looking a bit like the STI. Price-wise, will they be similar? Will the GTI-R with AWD look the same, cost more?
The same wheels? Really?
A 7 hp bump…all the more to run the A/C with I guess. I’ll get a used Mk 5, thanks.
Not feelin’ the wheels. The rest is ah-ight.
With the exception of the steering wheel, the dash layout looks very Corolla.
Side profile looks the exact same, same wheels too.
I made the mistake of buying a MK4 GTI and I will never purchase another VW product and I drove nothing but VWs for the past 15 years. A friend of mine has a MK5 and it rattles like a 70’s Oldsmobile and has more electrical problems than he can count.
They better price this right and improve the reliability or VW is going to lose their fanbase.
all the same, just like owner porsche
Same as it ever was.
The wheels make it look like it is for public school grads.
I want to steal that steering wheel and put it in my jetta : ) I really like the changes to the interior..Bravo!!
