Reviews SummaryWith its updated engine, revised suspension, and tech-forward interior, the latest iteration of Volkswagen’s legendary GTI looks ready to do battle with the Hyundai Veloster N as well as the upcoming Honda Civic Si and Subaru WRX. With regards to performance, the new GTI leaves almost nothing to be desired. | |
Reviews SummaryAs Volkswagen prepares to 86 the Beetle in favor of its new retro retread, the electric I.D. Buzz, it has decided to use the little nod to nostalgia as one of the promotional platforms for its new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. With a new combustion cycle developed at VW, this larger engine offers the Beetle some extra economy for its final lap. But rather than letting the Beetle fade into iconic history, VW has a last blast to bestow in the form of a special “Coast” edition that comes with a unique trim treatment and paint job. | |
