Review 

The 2007 Volkswagen GTI is a sporty car. The car delivers strong performances and is the best car among its class. Its econoboxes, which allow carmakers to shoehorn in a more powerful engine, making it simple for them to advertise it as sporty. However, using the leather-covered owner’s manual of the GTI, on the way to a shelf above the glove box or the lighted door lock switches, a small plastic flap covering the greasy hatch mechanism with hardly any touches is another thing to get a valuable response from.

The GTI produces a turbocharged 2.0 I4 engine power of 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, in a four-door car that weighs just over 3,100 pounds and gets good mpg. Its modestly handsome good looks are not easily differentiated from smaller cars, suitable for public roads when seeking over-legal speed. 2007 4-door tester has a complete GTI feature with available leather seats, sports front seats, dual climate control, sunroof, in-dash DVD navigation, and CD changer for the Rabbit’s already above-par interior.
