|
2006 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member979 Excellent return with a higher than normal gas economy. This factor made the other deficiencies easy to overlook. |
|
2006 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member979 Seats could be firmer though adequate. It has no lumbar support and expended use probably will change the shape of the foam used in the seat. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4141 Almost no torque steer. Feels very stable at high speeds. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4250 The 2.0-liter turbo is very easily tunable with a software flash and the DSG transmission is a great compromise between automatic and manual--I can shift either with the lever or the paddles behind the steering wheel. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4954 The Turbo Inline 4 in the GTI is an incredibly smooth and responsive engine with a lot of torque all the way across the power band, always leaving the driver with that added punch and acceleration when needed. A blast to drive! Excellent 6 speed manual. |

2004 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member2552 AWD gives the R32 a handling edge over the other FWD hatchbacks like the GTI. Although the stock suspension is decent, most owners seem to get the most out of their R32s by upgrading to an aftermarket system. |
|
2004 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member2552 The car is quite powerful, but heavy. Gas mileage is more in line with larger performance sedans than other compact hatchbacks. |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4845 Handling is solid, precise, sticks to the road. Road surface is very accurately felt through the steering wheel. |
|
2009 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Bob R Responsive steering. Torquey engine. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons A member in New Jersey, United States Very good materials and great styling and ergonomics |

|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4265 High end in appearance. Looks like it belongs in a much more expensive car. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4483 Sharp and precise without being obnoxious. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Virginia, United States A peppy and happy motor, willing to work with you. With next to zero turbo lag and torque all over the powerband this engine can be your best friend when driving to the store and when zipping along a winding road. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Pennsylvania, United States |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4383 The 2.0T (TSI on this model year) has a wide powerband and excellent low-end performance making daily driving a pleasure. |
|
2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Classic mature styling. Most cars in this price range either look cheap inside, or like something designed to appeal to 16 year olds. The Rabbit just has a nice simple elegant dash with brushed aluminum accents, ergonomic controls, and good placement. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons jray simply preference. i like the sleek headlights, the hatch profile, and the 4-corner wheel stance. |
|
2009 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member3079 I have always loved the handling/comfort compromise that the GTI has. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Wisconsin, United States Contemporary styling that makes it look sleek rather than just another hatchback. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4273 One of the best handling cars around. Nice weighted steering, surefooted, stable at high speeds. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4272 Smooth, classy lines. |
|
2003 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Nebraska, United States Very sporty, especially for being practically a German econo-box. |
|
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 Member4234 Sporty without being too boy-racer. |
