VW Golf GTI: Business Week loves it!

VW Golf GTI
A very nice review of the VW Golf GTI, the author loves it! Like you and me.
Luckily, the driving experience mitigates everything else. The 2 liter, inline-4 drops 200 horses with the smoothest and best-sounding turbo in the price range. Better yet, the engine is light enough to maintain the kind of balance that puts the driver at the center of the driven universe. It’s by no means the fastest or most powerful hot hatch, but it’s the best all-around -- less tinny than a MAZDASPEED3 and less, well, Honda-y than a Civic Si.

Prelim. The Good: Great looks, lots of high-class detailing, smoothest turbo this side of the Autobahn, torque is available all across the power band, DSG option, price
Prelim. The Bad: None, seriously
Prelim. The Bottom Line: The original hot hatch idol is back
