My friend just brought his new VW GTI over the weekend, in United Grey with DSG and WOW I am really impressed with it. Most can be had for invoice or even under invoice, which puts it around the MSRP of the new Civic Si. Compared to the new Si, the GTI simply blows it away in terms of features. Performance is good and the handling is excellent for a FWD. Hardly any understeer and not a lot of body roll.

I have had some seat time in the new GTI and its great. This car will take off in the market soon!

Not to start a GTI versus Si thread. AND, I have not had ANY seat time in the GTI, but I don't think the VW blows the Si away. Just MO

Is that your "FAST"

Definitely doesn't blow the SI away, but I will agree that its a slightly better performing car overall with a dash of luxury

I really like the car as well. It's probably going to be my wifes new car in a year or so. It's plenty sporty for her, and the interior is a nice place to be.

Here's a link to a thread that has my review of the car in it. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry7063247

Well the GTI doesn't blow the Si away in terms of performance but in terms of features... hell yes.

"German engineering in da house!! It's time to un-pimp your auto..." I'd buy one just because of the commercials.

i really like the gti, but i've been reading some horror stories about the ones in north america assembled in mexico. damn it vw i want to like your cars but give me a reason not to be scared to buy one.

That car is an embarassment to the GTI name. A nice car none the less though.

How VW went from very low weight pocket rockets with a hopped up motor to bloated pigs (3200-3600 pounds) is beyond me.
