The 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI is equipped with a stronger engine and enhanced handling making it even more fun to drive than previous models. It's an excellent choice for a performance-oriented hatchback.
The front-wheel-drive GTI uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The GTI will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
