2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI consumer reviews

Fun little car. Quality is right up with Audi. Performance is surprising, maybe a little too much power for FWD. Love the dual clutch trans.

The GTI has a lot of great qualities. Interior for its price point is very nice and well put together. The engine has a sufficient amount of torque and is relatively smooth. The car in city traffic is great. It handles very well on tight technical roads despite the poor tires that are stock. The weak points are the brakes. I did not get upgraded performance package. I own six-speed manual, and the gates are a little on the sloppy side. The high-speed handling is lacking turning in at high speeds and decelerating you can feel that the weight is front biased.

great for its value. no other cars can compare its performance for its money. great quality inside and out. fun and practical at the same time. only problem is I crave for more power after few months.

This car is like a full package. It has everything that I need in a car whether that is a touch-screen, dual heated seats, backup camera, etc. I would definitely recommand this car.

this car is amazing, i have owned it a year and it hasnt upset me once. i love the amount of power you get from factory and the interior is just OUTSTANDING and i mean that. by far my favorite car that i have owned

The GTI has been a staple of affordable and practical fun! It's hard to find another car that encompasses the practicality (storage and fuel) and fun that the GTI does. It does look a little "boy racer-ish", but a lot less so than a Civic Type-R or Focus ST/RS.

Absolutely the best all around car money can buy right now. Spacious, practical, fun to drive and cheap to own. Nothing compares to the GTI.

This car has power to make every commute a fun one. The interior is classy yet understated and has been completely reliable for the time I've had it.

great car and i have not found myself wanting more out of a daily commuter. very hard car to beat when we are talking about performance for the dollar... not to mention it is refined compared to some of it competition.

Only a year old so reliably is yet to be seen. Fun to drive, and no fatigue after 12 and a half hours of driving.
