Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007): Compare prices

By Derek Fung on 07/08/2008

More Volkswagen reviews , RRP: AU$34990.00

The good:

  • The engine — small, sporty and smart
  • A hoot to drive, when you're keen
  • Relaxed, when you're not
  • Handsome styling

The bad:

  • Quality of the interior is inferior to previous model
  • Not exactly cheap
  • Leather and MP3 player connectivity are optional
  • GTI, at AU$5k more, is tempting

The bottomline:

The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.

Editors' rating:

8.5/10

Sorry, no results found.
