Picture of Volkswagen Golf GTI

For the first time in nearly 50 years, the Volkswagen Golf GTI won’t be available with a manual transmission. Does it matter?

Rent a car while abroad, and there’s a decent chance the agent at the counter will ask if you’d like to upgrade to one equipped with an automatic transmission. Manual transmissions are just more common overseas, particularly in Europe. So, it’s interesting to learn that VW’s decision to drop the manual transmission from the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI was driven by a lack of demand in Germany, and despite increased demand in the United States. The loss of the stick shift is a big deal–this is one of the first ever hot hatchbacks, after all–but it’s only the headline among a short list of notable changes the car receives for this model year.

Verdict: The 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI is still one of the best hatchbacks you can buy today. With a terrific powertrain and everyday practicality, it’s an ideal choice for anyone looking for a useful car that’s also extremely fun to drive.

4.6 Overall rating

Customers say

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is widely celebrated for its fun and engaging driving experience across multiple model years. Owners consistently appreciate its sporty performance, comfortable interiors, and practicality as a hatchback. Many drivers enjoy the quick acceleration and responsive handling, making it an ideal choice for both daily commutes and spirited drives. However, some owners have pointed out concerns regarding back seat space in earlier models and the cost of maintenance, especially with electronic issues on some years. Overall, the GTI remains a favorite for its blend of performance and usability.

Reviewed a 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI on Mar 24, 2023

I am now seeking a replacement for my 2018 Audi TT Coupe. I need a car which is more practical , at a lower price point but still economical, quick and fun to drive. I have driven a 2023 Audi A3 , Mercedes CLA 250, Cadillac CT4 , BMW 230i and 330i , Honda Accord Hybrid -Sport and the VW GTI. The BMW comes closest to being a good choice but is 7k more than a GTI (although still 5 to 10k less than an Audi TT). Based on all my criteria I believe the GTI will be the best overall Swiss Army Knife of choices as it is fast , fun, economical, practical, sturdy , offers great value with the amount of standard equipment offered, and has a good warranty ( 4yr/50k overall. 3yrs roadside asst, 2yrs maint. plan. ) There are a few here which achieve higher satisfaction in some areas but when you consider overall the Swiss Army knife analogy is what makes a GTI a standout ...

Handles extremely well. Quick. Comfortable. Ride. Better mileage on highway than I expected. Plenty of technology although more than average learning curve. Stylist design.
