The Golf GTI has been the archetypal hot hatchback for 50 years for very good reason; it skilfully balances day-to-day usability with driving thrills to make it a proper everyday car that’s simply excellent to drive.
Its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine now produces 261bhp, all of which is sent to the front wheels in traditional hot hatch fashion. The potent four-pot is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 0-62mph takes just 5.9 seconds. Yet, it can also do nearly 40mpg even when you’re really pushing it.
The GTI also comes with the usual sporty styling treatment, including dual exhaust tips and a set of 18-inch ‘Richmond’ alloy wheels. Inside, there’s a 12.9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display and premium sports seats sporting the classic GTI tartan pattern.
Other standard kit includes keyless access, heated front seats, three-zone air-conditioning, a rear view camera, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. On top of all that, because this is still a practical family hatchback, there’s space for four adults inside and a 374-litre boot.
