What Owners are Saying About the 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI
"The best car i have owned!"
"Stylish looks and performance. Like how the value of the car has not dropped much since my purchase. Reliable and sporty with adequate gas mileage."
"The best car I've owned"
"Wow. When it comes to finding a practical, fun to drive, economical car you can't go wrong with the Volkswagen Golf/GTI. This car zooms around with plenty of power and is one of the few left on the road where you can get a third pedal! The cargo space is perfect too if you need it. Simply pop down the rear seats. I would buy this car again and again if I could. No issues, all smiles. This beats the Civic, Corolla, and Mazda 3 hatchbacks by a landslide."
"My best GTI ever."
"This was my third GTI. First was 1988 followed by 1999 and this 2015 is the best of them all. Plenty of power and the 6 speed manual is a dream to drive. Got the Performance Package which I would recommend. Other than the routine scheduled maintenance no repairs needed of any kind. Still a lot of fun to drive and and excellent car for road trips as well. I've loved the 2 door and I think no longer making the 2 door is a mistake. Best car I've ever owned and like my other GTI will get more than 200,000 miles before I'll move on from."
