    Pleasure to drive. Really sturdy. Solid on the road. Great suspension.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For a GTi, it may lack a little, but there is enough power to keep the GTi badge.

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not a single complaint yet, touch wood. It's a Volkswagen, so reliability comes with the badge.

    Have always wanted a Golf GTi ever since gaining my licence. It's taken a few years (8) but I finally got what I've wanted. By far the best looking car in its class. A nice set of wheels completes it.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very supportive and comfortable seats. The suspension soaks up most bumps.
