Beats The Competition
Price per pound for performance and practicality.
Unassuming and attractive, in a very German sort of way.
Sensational manual and automatic transmission options.
Our Take
Coming in at well under thirty-grand, it's tough to beat the GTI when it comes to athleticism and daily-driven commuter smarts.
Even in bare-bones trim, this iconic German hatch offers loads of tech and high-end touches, thus besting its adversaries.
Projected reliability remains mediocre at best, and with more advanced/complex engine internals, fixes down the line are going to be expensive.
