2002 Volkswagen GTI 1.8T Reviews

little stuff tends to break but its a very fun car to own and drive. i built mine for auto crossing so its handles are way fun i like how the ECU tuning works. the VDub community is also a friendly one.

Having this as a teenager's first car was amazing, the 1.8 liter turbo engine feels amazing and will blow away any of your friends who drive deadbeat cars such as civics, v6 mustangs, accords, eclipses, etc. etc... People who don't know much about cars will be amazed when you put your footdown

The 1.8 turbo is a phenomenal motor, a nice
balance between power and fuel economy.  I avg
25-28mpg in mixed driving.

The car handles great in the twisties, it's light,
nimble, and the Anti-Slip Regulation allows me to
drive in the rain with confidence, wheel spin isn't a
big issue.

It's also got a lot of creature comforts, When u lock
the car from the remote the sunroof and the
windows come up. Both windows go down all the
way or up all the way with the lightest push of a
button.

Also the build quality is solid, the interior is roomy,
I will definitely have this car for a while
