2010 Volkswagen GTI

By Zaheer on May 06, 2011 with Comments 0


The 2010 Volkswagen GTI does not waver in its continuance of a long and illustrious story.  Known in Volkswagen history as the MkVI, it retains the basic formula largely responsible for its success and added several modern technological touches that have stirred excitement in the automotive industry.  The GTI has always been known for its sharp dynamics, driver involvement and a responsive 4-cylinder engine.  In the tradition of hot hatches, it does not disappoint.
The 2010 Volkswagen GTI is a 3-door hatchback that accommodates five passengers.  Its body is of unitized construction with bolt-on front fenders.  It is powered by a turbocharged in-line 4-cylinder engine intercooled with direct injection that provides 200 hp at 5100 to 6000 rpm and torque of 207 lb-ft at 1800 to 5000 rpm.  It is a front-wheel drive equipped with 6-speed manual transmission.  This new GTI is fitted with rack-and-pinion electro-mechanical power steering and power-assisted ventilated disc brakes.

Standard equipment includes the Electronic Stabilizer Program, anti-slip regulation, cross differential system, electronic differential lock, electronic brake force distribution, anti-lock brake system, cruise control, leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, Touchscreen AM/FM radio with in-dash 6-CD changer, iPod adapter, and Sirius Satellite Radio.  Options include the power sunroof, 18-inch wheels, Bi-Xenon headlamps, Dynaudio advanced sound, and Bluetooth connectivity.  To its credit, the GTI always manages to appear much better than what is expected from cars within its price range.  The base price of the GTI is $ 23,990.00.
The good news about this latest hot hatch is that it is actually better than its predecessors which were somewhat on the overweight and boring side.  It also ranks high in fuel economy, comfort in long drives, and value for money.  It is fun to drive and has the ability to illicit positive attention from onlookers.  There is just some concern about awkwardness in exiting when the seat is lowered.
The interior does not look cheap in any way.  Everything just seems to blend solidly together with no detail sticking out like a sore thumb.  The GTI is highly suitable and enjoyable as a daily driver.  Closest competitors include the Audi A3, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback, and the BMW 1-series, among others.  The 2010 Volkswagen GTI is a refined compact coupe that comes in an economical and practical package.  You will not mind using this car for your daily needs and you may not want to stop driving it.  It is also proving to be a preferred ride for long trips.
