The 2008 Volkswagen GTI offers exceptional performance, a versatile hatchback design, and a long list of safety features. In addition, reviews describe a well-designed interior with comfortable seating and high quality materials. Car and Driver picked the 2008 GTI as one of its 10 Best Cars for the aforementioned attributes and Automobile Magazine recognizes the GTI as one of its All-Stars for 2008.

Pros — everything

This car is a sensation, plenty of power and all the creature comforts of a family car. The handling is smooth and I love the adaptive steering, The gearbox feels solid and precise allowing for smooth gear changes on Volkswagen's manual box. Not to mention, this car looks awesome!

Pros — Everything
Cons — The engine is capable of a little more power, But this can be fixed with a simple ECU upgrade.

I love everything, the interior, steering wheel, sound, speed, handling. Its perfect for everyday use, you can be driving like a maniac speeding crazily, and when you want it to it can be quiet and relaxing (although the ruff suspenion can be a little bumpy at times). Only problem is its a little too heavy.

Having owned the Golf for around 3 months now and covered just over 2700 miles.  The interior has got to be one of my favourite parts of the car especially the bucket seats that provide comfort and the support to keep you firmly seated in any corner. The biggest surprise to me about the GTI is the fuel consumption as it is not any worse than my C2 VTS was, although I have to admit that is when the GTI isn’t being pushed.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is by far the best car I’ve owned so far for a few reasons.  It amazes me how whatever gear you’re in the power is still at hand.  I’ve discovered that GTI feels extremely safe at any speed, really provides me with a sense security.  The handling of the GTI is brilliant you can go into any corner with the knowledge that you’ll remain firmly planted.

Pros — Good Acceleration in any gear
Great Bucket Seats
Good Quality Interior
Cons — No colour coded rear bumper and side skirts
