2011 GOLF / GTI - 10 BEST CARS!


You may or may not have heard, Car and Driver has recently voted our beloved GTI and Golf one of the best 10 cars in North America!

It’s the master of a budget-conscious segment whose other entrants ask buyers to compromise on refinement, fun, or both. As practical as the Golf, the GTI adds serious performance to the mix with its strong and efficient 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Its chassis is so well sorted that it can devour back roads as ­happily as it swallows the indignities of the daily commute."

New features include a TDI Clean Diesel engine option, an Integrated Crash Response System (ICRS), available remote start and, on certain models, the available Fender Premium Audio System – a nine-speaker sound system that gives you the power to share your favorite song with just about everyone in the neighborhood.
