2006 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T 2-Door FWDReview

Great Fun Car — I loved the speed and handling of this car. The gas mileage can't be beat and it sounds amazing. When you feel the turbo kick in and you blast buy traffic, there is no better feeling. Handles great in the snow and ice, just need something a little roomier for lifestyle. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Great all weather handling and gas mileage. Cons: Leg room in the back is almost non existent. |

Great Car For A Young Person — This car is such a fun car! Very zippy and fast, it handles great and is very stylish. The back seats fold down all of the way so the car is big enough to camp/sleep in and can carry a lot. The car is also very comfortable to drive and/or ride in for long periods of time. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: The interior of the car is very modern and stylish with the red, black and grey plaid seats. Cons: Sometimes the trunk will be automatically lock when you stop and get out of the car, requiring you to use the key fob to unlock it. |

Awesome Car - Highly Recommended. — I love this car! Great driver, but also economical, spacious and sensible. My teenage daughters ride in the back seats with no complaints and the boot hauls ample softball gear to and from practices and tournaments. I hate to part with it :( Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Handling, rear seat space/comfort, cargo capacity Cons: premium fuel |

The Best Gti Made To Date. — This car is very surprising. It is much more capable than it may appear. It is built very well and you know you got what you paid for when you get in and close the door. Tons of room in the back as well. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Quick car, handles very well. Cons: If abused, repair costs can be very high |

I Love It — I am definitely a fan of the performance of this vehicle. It handles well. The ride is sporty, but smooth. Hasn't needed any repairs except for a recall on the coil packs, there isn't much for creaks and rattles. I really like the look of the vehicle inside and out. I wasn't sure how I felt about the color, but it grew on me and now I love it. The inside is nice, the seats are comfortable and supportive and have a cool plaid pattern on them. The gauge cluster looks cool too. I put the golf ball style shift knob on and a smaller antenna and it will look even better when I lower it. I get an average of about 28 miles to the gallon and I do a lot of city driving. Oil changes are a little expensive because it takes synthetic oil and I get them done at the dealer. That's about all the maintenance that I have had to do. This car is definitely fun to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: It's fun and sporty and a smooth ride Cons: can't think of a single one except it would be cool if it was all wheel drive |

This is the most ideal car for the price in most every way. My *ONLY* complaint is that the seat bolstering in the upper back is a bit too prominent as it pushes my shoulders forward in an uncomforta... Read More
