Car Profiles - Volkswagen Golf GTI

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI

The car gods had answered your prayers after many years, the Golf GTI had arrived. With more power and exciting handling, this can give the WRX a run for its money through a practical hatchback body. Combined with VW's high quality interiors, it is a winner.

The Good: An all around performance oriented hatchback
The Bad: No manual, what a shame

Price Range: P2,290,000
