VW Golf GTI

Subtly improved in every way, the new Golf GTI is the best yet

It’s the original hot hatch – and now it’s even better! The latest Golf GTi goes on sale in May, packing even more power and poise than ever.

It gets another 10bhp over its predecessor taking punch to 207bhp, which might not seem much by the standards of Ford’s Focus ST, but the GTi is a brilliant all-rounder, hitting 0-60mph in seven seconds, doing 38.1mpg economy and emitting a mere 170g/km of CO2.

Packing the Scirocco’s Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC), which allows the driver to switch the suspension’s pneumatic dampers between three modes, the GTi hits the mark on twisty back roads or at a high speed cruise on the motorway. Factor in subtle but muscular styling and you’ve got a winner.
