Reviewed: 2008 Volkswagen GTI

2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD

Why the 2008 Volkswagen GTI?

Powertrain performance

Smooth, linear, exceptional power for class.

Fuel economy

Best combination of acceleration and mpg. Routinely get 29-30mpg overall,as high as 36 on highway. Amazing for 200hp.

Handling

Above average turn-in and lack of body lean, has 90% of the cornering ability of previous MINI S we had, 300% of the comfort and quiet.

Materials & workmanship

As often said, interior more Audi-esque than Mazda-like. Rock-solid construction, interior materials exceptional, all controls are illuminated, extensive warranty consistent w/ that.

Price or payments

Reasonable trade-in value on the 2002 GTI, + incentives, "drive-away" lease program = $88/month.
