2015 Volkswagen Golf R Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Like the GTI, the Golf R feels more solidly constructed and has more upscale interior materials than the competition from Subaru, Ford, and so on. The doors close with a reassuring ker-chunk. Bear in mind, though, that the Golf R costs significantly more than the GTI, so this level of... Comparison vehicle: 2015 Subaru WRX |

2015 Mini Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The interiors of past Minis included parts here and there that seemed unworthy of the cars' semi-premium pricing. The redesigned interior, though it still includes more hard plastic than you'll find in a BMW, looks and feels higher in quality than those of past Minis. A GTI is about as... Comparison vehicle: 2015 Volkswagen Golf / GTI |

2015 Volkwagen GTI Review plus TDI Preview Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Materials in the new Golf are nearly as good as those in the considerably pricier A3. The Volkswagen's instrument panel arguably appears more upscale than that in the Audi. The car oozes quality and solidity. The Focus also compares well here--to every competitor save the new Golf. As good... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Ford Focus |

One of the best to drive, but not to ride 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons TedK While there are major design issues with the interior storage systems, the actual surfaces, materials and workmanship are impeccable. Kudos to VW Wolfsburg's technicians and factory folks, I could not be happier about the quality of the assembly, stitching, finishes, etc. For this work alone it feels inside like a... |

2009 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member3671 Excellent qulity all around: you never feel like you are driving a cheap car. Everything feels good in your hand and controls and switches feel like they will go the distance. |

Hidden gem for the right price, CPO 2012 Golf R AWD performance hot hatch 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member1788 We compared this Golf R to a number of similar sized but different price ranges of hatchback 'performance' manual trans cars just to see if the fit and finish and materials were all that much different. We've owned a number of VW's in the past and their interiors never disappoint;... |

A classy and refined European compact 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5501 It's hardly a secret at this point that, whatever else VW has done with its U.S. models, the Golf is exceptionally refined and well-made both inside and out. Materials feel luxurious, especially on the dash; you really have to search to find a hard or flimsy piece of plastic. VW... |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5697 The materials in this car are top notch. I am shocked by the number of $50000 luxury cars that have cheaper feeling interiors than this car (the latest BMW 3-Series for example). Comparison vehicle: 2010 Subaru Legacy |

2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member1664 Here is the true selling point for the Golf for those who value substance and quality vs Style and quantity of accouterments. Almost every surface in the front and rear has heft and depth in quality to it. If the VW logo on the steering were replaced with... |

2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3466 Both cars seem well made, but the Honda had huge expanses of cheap-feeling plastic, whereas more of the VW were soft-touch. The Golf felt more precise and doors closed softly and firmly, seats moved easily, and controls felt better. |

2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5407 Materials seem good for the class. Some plastic looks cheap, but not bad for the price point. |

2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4321 Soft touch, well made materials all around, the very few areas where VW cheaped out are in out of the way locations. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4250 Dashboard materials and soft plastics, and seat fabrics easily blow away any other competitors. Everything else--Imprezas to Evolutions to Cobalt SS--all looks like a plastic rental car compared to the GTI. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4483 Awesome materials, great fit and finish, no squeaks, rattles or creaks, and it just feels incredibly well put together. |

2009 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member3079 Best in class, and in the case of the GTI, better than much more expensive vehicles. Stitching, steering wheel, metal accents on vents, I could go on... |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4273 For the MK VI which is focusing on better interior acoustics, I am very disappointed to have the wind noise problem on my doors. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4246 Easy access to spark plugs for replacement, cast iron engine for longevity, timing chains are a tossup - they should last a long time, but when they go, they will be too expensive to replace. Doors are over-engineered and strong - you can swing from them. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Rhode Island, United States The interior is very well done. The attention to detail is very high. The exterior design is very functional and understated. |
