These GTI’s are built for well and they perform outstanding, no better bang for the buck, VW has perfected the GTI. If you’re in the market for a sport compact this is a must see!

The GTI line peaked at the mk7.5 model in terms of overall value. It’s got the best silhouette and cabin design in my opinion. And there’s plenty of technology to pair with the exceptional driving experience we’ve come to expect from the iconic 7-speed DSG 4 cylinder engine. If you’re like me, who isn’t too fond of the redesign of the mk8 both exterior and interior alike…I think the mk7 is the perfect option.
