A GTI stands for a Gran Turismo Iniezione, an Italian term that’s been used on a wide variety of vehicles. Around the middle of the 20th century, European and Italian manufacturers began creating Grand Touring cars. These cars became fast and luxurious, and the GTI was born. What makes a GTI so special? Read on to learn more about this small hatchback. And when you’re ready to buy, here are some tips to help you find your perfect GTI.

GTI is a fuel-injection car model variant

The abbreviation “GTI” stands for a fuel-injected higher performance variant. Originally, the GTI designation was applied to sports cars and grand tourers, and it has now become a generic designation for hot hatchbacks that do not have the luxury of a Grand Tourer. The first cars to use the GTI name were the Maserati 3500 GTi and the Volkswagen Golf. In the 1990s, the GTI model variant was launched in New Zealand. It was essentially the Civic VTI but with leather seats. The Mitsubishi Lancer GTI was also a performance variant that was marketed as a luxury car.

In 1975, Volkswagen management approved the prototype and predicted a limited production run of only 5000 cars. However, the GTI became such a popular vehicle that it sold over 460,000 units worldwide before halting production in 1983. Before the GTI, ordinary Golfs had a single carburetor. It was a simple way to mix air and fuel and then transfer the mixture into the engine cylinders for combustion.

It’s a small hatchback

The 2014 Volkswagen GTI is a compact hatchback that will be replaced by an all-new model in 2015. This is the final year for the current sixth-generation VW GTI, which will come in black, white, and gray only. Despite the small size, the GTI is a fun little car that offers plenty of entertainment potential. It’s also more comfortable than most small hatchbacks and has excellent handling for a sports car.

The Volkswagen GTI is easy to drive, and the steering wheel is equipped with capacitive buttons. The car’s variable-ratio rack makes it quicken as you move off-center. The heated steering wheel can make you sweat while you’re guiding the car around corners. The GTI has a nice turn-in response and drags the inside rear brake on corner exits. And, it’s a good-looking car, too.

It’s fast

When comparing the Volkswagen GTI to its most famous rival, the Subaru BRZ, the GTI isn’t far behind. While both are quick, the GTI is faster overall and comes with a superior package overall. The GTI is more than just a hot hatch. The car is so capable that it has become a beloved icon for VW fans and sports enthusiasts. Its heritage and legacy have long been prized by the company and enthusiasts.

The 2020 VW GTI has more firepower than the previous generation. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine puts out more than 230 horsepower, up from its factory rating of 200. It is also a fun car to drive. The GTI can reach 60 mph in just under six seconds, and it can top 155 mph. The vehicle is equipped with all-season tires and manual climate control. This Volkswagen is fast and it will thrill the drivers.

It’s comfortable

The Volkswagen GTI has always been good at balancing performance and comfort. The GTI’s seats look different but feel familiar, thanks to fixed thigh and side bolsters and the iconic red tartan cloth. Adaptive suspension is now standard, and our test car has two drive modes: a compliant Comfort setting and a firm Sport setting. While I didn’t drive in Sport, I was pleased to find that the GTI felt comfortable in either setting.

A new infotainment system is standard on the Volkswagen GTI, featuring an updated interface and responsive touch controls. Although the layout isn’t intuitive, the voice controls are more convenient than the older system and come with a full list of commands. You can even ask the GTI to blow warm air out of the bottom vents. The GTI also features a wireless charging pad for your phone. Those options are important to many car buyers, and I hope you’ll consider the GTI when you’re shopping for one.

It’s affordable

The Volkswagen GTI isn’t the most powerful, fastest or grippiest hatchback, but it excels in mundane tasks. While most buyers don’t want a boy-racer car, the GTI has enough power to keep them entertained on the road, while remaining comfortable, quiet and versatile. While you won’t find any other car quite like the GTI, it is definitely a good buy for the money.

The base model of the Volkswagen GTI costs around $29,545 (including destination fees) and goes over $30,000 with destination charges. Even the top-of-the-line GTI 6MT Autobahn costs just $37,940. In this price range, you can find a Volkswagen close to the VW Golf R, while the Mazda3 Turbo, which is due out this summer, is priced under $50,000. The price is a factor in determining whether or not the GTI is right for you, but if you drive it carefully, it will not disappoint.

It’s sporty

The Volkswagen GTI is one of the sportiest cars ever produced. Its iconic hatchback design combines sporty power and handling with great practicality. It can also be driven as a family vehicle. The GTI is so fun to drive and handles well that some customers have been known to sell them as their second car. If you are interested in purchasing a GTI, here’s a video that can help you decide if it’s right for you.

Inside, the Volkswagen GTI offers a comfortable cabin that is stylish but not overly opulent. Its sporty seat fabric features a plaid pattern and supportive cloth seats. The rear passengers can enjoy heated seats with manual lumbar support. The tachometer is easy to read, and the digital driver info display is small but outdated. The leather-wrapped flat-bottom sport steering wheel allows you to quickly scroll through the information.
