  the hot hatch lives again - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By volsfan0911 - June 26 - 1:46 pm

  Had for 1 week now. Although VW has a bad rap for reliability, so far, so good. Build quality is outstanding both inside and out. 2.0L turbo 4 banger is a beautiful motor - torque band starts right off idle practically and pulls cleanly to 6K. Shifter, clutch, steering, seats, real handbrake (a lever, not a stupid foot pedal) - all the drivers controls are excellent. No torque steer, XDS genuinely helpful. Not as fast as a MS3 but much more composed and refined. My only car and is a GREAT commuter IMHO. Reasonable mileage, comfy enough for road trips yet an absolute blast to hit backroads on. Feels much quicker than the numbers suggest. And its FAST - 100 mph comes up quickly!

  APR Stage II GTI Makes all the differenc - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By wydopn - January 25 - 12:33 pm

  I have always been an Honda person. This is my first VW - and I loved it from first drive. The feel is very different from the SI and Speed3s that Ive owned. I just had the car flashed with APRs stage II and this car is now unreal! Im getting 26MPG around town and over 30 on the freeway plus I can blow past most muscle cars as long as I get a rolling start (otherwise I cant stay connected due to excessive torque).

  Best VW to the date - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By mike475 - October 3 - 3:12 am

  Owners since Dec 2009 of 4dr DSG GTI + Autobahn Package (aka leather seats and moonroof). It is great car all around. Quality is top noch (I guess no surprise here). Even MKV Jetta it looks like the car was made by different company. I love about everything about the car, so does my wife.

  First GTI - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By John - August 31 - 5:43 pm

  Tons of fun for the money and Teutonic build quality. GTIs love the back roads and the turbo has no lag for immediate and decent burst. Best at high revs but an additional 20-30 bhp would be nice. In town or traffic it is easy and quiet. Highway I am getting around 30 mpg. Lot of rear leg room - better than 3 series BMW or Audi A4 - and hatchback flexibility. This car has almost everything and I didnt bother to look at anything else, it meets all my practical and fun needs. Taken me 30 years of driving and admiring the GTI to finally buy one and have absolutely no regrets.

  Entry level luxury Hatchback - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By auto-enthusiast - May 15 - 10:00 am

  I have had this car for 7 months and its a capable daily commuter. Ride is comfy and balanced. 200 hp is not all that overwhelming but it is enough to get you in trouble if you dont watch it. The interior design is clean and feel luxurious like the Audis. The cargo space is plenty and the rear passenger leg room is excellent. The car is fun to drive and it gets a very good gas mileage. I drive 70% freeway and I average 28mpg. The only mechanical problem I have had is the rear window washer nozzle drip. I am not sure if VW has come up with a permanent fix for this because the first repair didnt get rid of the problem.

  Best Decision EVER! - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By jroc13 - February 13 - 7:53 am

  Ive owned two Audis in the past five years...then I saw the 10 GTI and couldnt resist. Wow, what a great decision. I smile each time I drive the car. Its so fun, so fast and so sexy! People honk as I pass, ask about it when Im filling up at the gas station and beg to drive it. The exhaust note turns heads and the 18" wheels are dynamite. I jam the DynaAudio system to the max and wow can it deliver! I push this car to the limit daily and it consistently delivers. I plead with anyone reading this to go test drive one immediately.
