40% performance 60% luxury

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2004
Review: I had been changing my mind and test driving different cars in this range for about a week when I finally realized, I actually want to drive the car in Chicago winters. That I actually wanted to have people sit in the back seat and that I would be...

Great car

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would definitely consider this car as a sub for BMW's 3 series coupes, any Japanese coupes, or Mercedes C class.
Review:
I bought this car in late October of 2002. It is a 2003 VW GTI VR6, silver w/ black cloth, 6 spd manual. I have driven the car 22,700 miles, on all types of roads.

Having owned other VW's ( '84 & '87 Scirocco, '88 Quantum, '99 Passat...

Surprisingly Luxurious, But Doesn't Quite Deliver What It Promises

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: The current Golf GTI is really more of a fast luxury coupe than a sports coupe. It's quick, but not nearly as hard-edged as its reputation suggests.
Review: My Experience

These impressions are from my test drive of a Golf GTI 1.8T 5-speed at a local dealer. I drove the car for about half an hour on city streets, winding secondary roads, and the freeway.

madman!!

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: its a drivers car. Not just a slogan!!
Review: I bought this car after driving my girlfriends vr6 on a 700-mile road trip

My 03-vr6 gti is a madman!! It has a crazy torque band which really throws you back in your seat the 6 speeds tight and will take a little time to learn its ins and...

GTI Still a Contender

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you need a versatile, good performing compact car with an appealing design, high feature content and build quality, look no further than the GTI.
Review: I purchased my GTI 1.8T a little over a year ago and I have not have any regrets, except I didn't do it sooner. There are over 7600 miles on the odometer and aside from a minor issue with the radio harness being loose and leaving me without a radio...

Ultimate Car

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2004
Review: The Volkswagen GTI is amazing. I have an older model as well and have always been pleased. From the flowing lines of the car to the power that backs it up, the GTI is out to impress and amaze. I will most likely keep this vehicle for a while.

THROUGH ALL SEASONS,TOTAL DRIVING MASTERY

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Go Ahead, drive the rest than drive the best. You will not be disappointed at all. Once you sit down in one you will know!
Review: I purchased my 2003 GTI new in May 2003. Since then I now have 40,000 miles as of November 27 2005. My car is Silverstone Gray with Gray leather interior with every Option package. This car pleads to be driven.

Best car for $20,000

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2005
Review: This car has been flawless. With 30,000 miles on it, it's never been back to the dealer for any repairs. Other than oil changes, new tires - Michelin PE2 (the Continentals it came with sucked)and 2 headlamps Acceleration is there when you need it...

You Will Not Be Disappointed!

Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Of the cars in this sector only the Subaru WRX will out-perform the GTI. However, when you take into account the overall package, this is the way to go.
Review: I bought my 2003 GTI 1.8T in January, 2003. I have held off writing a review until I had some miles and time in it.

First off, once you buy a GTI you become a member of a group of fanatics, who can talk about their GTI (whether it's the...

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2004
Review: I am a lifetime German car nut and I purchased a new '03 24V VR6 GTI about 15 months ago. Starting from day one: Car shakes at idle, door speaker not plugged in, connector on throttle body disconnected, seat rails and doors rattled like crazy. After...
