GTI Comparison
The GTI is an original. It is the Hot Hatch that started it all!
There is more to the GTI than its stance, performance and driving manners. It is a comfortable sports hatch that accommodates five, offers a high level of standard equipment and has the best ride/handling mix of any car in its class. Don’t take our word for it – it already won
Motor Trend’s
Car of The Year and is the North American Car of The Year.
Will all of this convince you to get a GTI? To prove that we have the best sports compact around, the GTI will be compared to the Ford Focus ST and the Honda Civic Si.
