  GTI rocks !!! - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By Mario - June 7 - 1:10 pm

  If youre looking for pocket rocket, fun, and fuel efficient vehicle look no further. Great quality in and out, could easily get away with an Audi badge. Great powerplant and car manners of a sports car. It simply puts a smile on my face whenever Im behind the wheel!

  Best bang for the buck! - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By greennfun - June 5 - 12:26 pm

  After test-driving many similarly priced vehicles, used and new, this one came out as a winner! Compared to Mini Copper/Clubman S, BMW 3-series, Japanese, WRX and MS3. If not pushed hard gives comparable mileage to Honda Fit and when driven hard, feels quicker and sportier than BMW 328i. For the money, amount of amenities in this car is amazing. Seats are very comfy. Day-to-day drivability is very high. Stock audio is comparable to premium audio. Turbo sounds intoxicating!

  Price to Value off the charts - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By Jason - March 1 - 4:36 am

  I purchased the 2010 GTI after selling an Audi 2.7T that was fun to drive but a financial nightmare to repair. Ive got 1200 miles on my base level GTI, and have got to say that its the best vehicle Ive owned. The base package includes everything but premium wheels, nav/stereo and sunroof and I must say that for 23k its a steal. The car handles incredibly, cruises well on the freeway (29-32 mpg at 75 mph) and is nice a beauty to look at. Only flaw is that the touchscreen menu for the stereo is hard to navigate through (to switch cds or ipod tracks) while driving.

  What do you expect its a GTI dummy - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By Paul - September 27 - 7:00 pm

  This is my 3rd GTI. What can I say if its not broke dont finx it. 1st GTI was a 1991, 2nd a 01. The fit and finish of the 2010 are by far simply amazing. For 24 and change you will not get anything close. Everything from ext styling to interior feel puts the car in a class above itself. VW has taken the car to another level and with the mk VI being my third GTI I can honestly say this is the best in class. I typically use this car for work and I smile every time I get in it. I wish I could be on the consumer testing panel during design. I would give VW some ideas that would make everyone want one.

  Fantasic! Improved in every area - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By Marcus McReynolds - July 29 - 3:26 pm

  After having a 2006 GTI for a while and decide to move to the newer model. It is a great improvement, not one particular area just tiny improvements in every part of the vehicle. And it is a very good looking vehicle!

  experience talks, opinions walk - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By charles lamb - May 19 - 9:06 pm

  There is no substitution for self experience, after I bought this car and starts driving it I can say is like a pocket rocket but with lexus manners and race track handling, the inside make you feel like you do not want to get out of the car, in conclusion civic si and mazda s3 have no business with the 2010 gti and at least I owned a 2006 si before this gti so I know what I am talking about. I am using the gti to commute to my job 132 miles 3 times a week.

  Major upgrade from MK5 - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By Eddie - April 11 - 4:13 pm

  Let me start by saying that I was a previous 2006 MK5 GTI owner who felt that it was time to get into a new one. My MK5 was surprisingly reliable to the 50k miles that I traded it in at. No major mechanical issues at all. So I felt confident in purchasing a 2010 MK6 GTI. This car is fantastic all around. My previous GTI was pretty basic (manual tranny, cloth interior, etc..), so this time around I opted for the awesome DSG tranny and the "autobahn package" which added heated leather seats, awesome 18" wheels, and a superb 300w dynaudio stereo system w/ iPod interface. These options jacked the price to 30k, but it is well worth it IMO. This VW is hands down a better car than the Audi A3.

  Best car for the money - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By H-DUB - December 9 - 1:30 am

  As I get older, I place a lot more emphasis on value. In terms of what I value, I wanted economy, acceleration, utility, and styling. In my opinion, there is not another car that can beat the GTI. When I did my research, the two most important criteria were gas mileage and acceleration. So I came up with my own measure, which was average gas mileage divided by the 0 to 60 time. The GTI was far away the best performer in that measure. Ive owned BMWs exclusively up until this purchase. Ive got to say that I enjoy driving this car more than any of my previous 7 BMWs. Ive had this car for a month now and still cant get over the great VALUE.

  Feeling 18 again! - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By Gary B - July 18 - 10:23 pm

  When I traded in my Mercedes CLS500 to buy a GTI many of my friends and family thought I was having a midlife crisis. Buying practical cars has never been my habit as a life-long car guy. While the CLS is a great car, it didnt make me smile. It impressed other people more than me. I feel like a kid again just waiting to run to the store so I can drive it again! I am amazed at how much torque it always has on tap and the handling is confident and fun without being overly harsh. I was also impressed with the level of available equipment. Being able to get xenons, leather, nav, satellite radio, a great 300 watt stereo & more makes me still feel like Im driving a luxury car.

  Refined Gem - 2010 Volkswagen GTI
  By vw_gti - March 30 - 12:58 am

  The GTI is easily the best combination of refinement, speed, value, and driving pleasure on the market. I cross-shopped the car with various others and the GTI was the winner with the closest runner-ups being the BMW 328i and the Mini Cooper. I honestly dont think the GTI competes against the various Japanese cars (i.e. Civic Si, WRX, Evo) because of its level of refinement. No, its not as fast as the WRX or the Evo, but it provides a level of refinement and all-around usability that both of those toys cant match. Its less isolated than the luxury cars but is still blessed with a remarkably high-class interior that should be the envy of most entry-luxury drivers.
