Have your cake. And drive it too.
You’d think a car this great would speak for itself. And it does, in a way. The rumble of the turbocharged engine. The wink of the shiny red brake calipers. The hug of the iconic Interlagos plaid seats. If that’s not enough to catch your attention, we thought we’d share what a few reputable sources had to say too. AUTOMOBILE Magazine named the 2012 GTI one of its “2012 All-Stars” and Car and Driver put the 2012 GTI on its “10 Best List for 2012.” But even if all the awards went away and the GTI had nothing but its sporty engine and sleek good looks to rely on, we wouldn’t mind. Because fans have been coming back for more ever since the GTI hit American roads. And in this case, actions speak louder than words.
