Overview & Reviews
For the old 1.8T GTI, the VR6 style has been dropped and more features, including 17-inch wheels and stability control, are now standard. Starting in the late spring of 2006, the 1.8T Volkswagen GTI will be slowly phased out in favor of a fully redesigned model. As before, this performance hatchback will be based on the upcoming next-generation Golf. Highlights for the new GTI include increased performance, new styling and more interior room.
- Hatchback utility, upscale features and interior design, strong engine and automated manual gearbox of redesigned GTI.
- Higher price than those of its competitors, old GTI lacks oomph.
