VW GOLF GTI Mk5: now ￡9k - GTI: the best for less

摘要

The fifth-generation Golf GTI could be the best one Volkswagen has ever made, says Matt Saunders - and you can nab yourself one for supermini cash now. Few hot hatches - few fast cars of any kind - offer a more complete package of virtues than a fast Golf. There are more focused front-drivers, I grant, but few score as highly in every important respect - on performance, desirability, usability, quality, reliability and, most important, value-as the Golf GTI.
