Review: 2010 Volkswagen GTI – It’s got its mojo workin’ again

In 1983, Run-DMC was fresh (which meant dope), Volvo 760 Turbos weighed 3,300 pounds and the 2,200-pound Volkswagen GTI made its U.S. debut. In 2010, the Rabbit-turned-Golf entered its sixth generation and attempted to draw a clear line to the first-generation car. The historical link has been made especially clear in the 2010 Volkswagen GTI, though it’s gone through the typical changes you face when you hit your 30s. The GTI is now 1,000 pounds porkier, but it’s still as slick as a greased pig when it comes to handling.

A year ago when I got my Jetta SportWagen, I would have loved to have been able to get the GTI/GLI package. But no Cigar... I still love my car though!!

Not a fan of that lower front fascia, it doesn't flow with the car. Kinda like the Mazda smile

2200 Lbs!?? Wow, the new Porsche Boxster Spyder super light is 2800 lbs. stripped!

Imagine if the Spyder dropped to 2200 lbs...

If you want a fast hatch go with the Mazdaspeed 3, it'll save you thousands and blow the doors off the GTI anyday.
