VOLKSWAGENGolf GTI 2013 - 2017

　　The Golf GTI is the most famous hot-hatch car on the market. It appeared in the mid-'70s and it was produced ever since. In 2013 it reached its seventh generation.

　　The Golf GTI (or Gran Tourer Injection) model was the car designed to satisfy the younger customers with some performance. The first GTI could do a 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in less than 10 seconds with a 4-speed manual. That time continued to be enhanced from generation to generation.

　　The outside design is instantly recognizable Golf. There are some small details to tell the difference. On the front, there was a red line that went across the grille and was continued inside the headlights. The bigger front bumper included some air-scoops and the narrow grille had a honeycomb mesh design. The aerodynamic side-sills made the car look sportier, and so was the rear roof-spoiler. Standard 18" light-alloy wheels were fitted. In the rear, it featured two side exhausts.

　　Inside, there were some classic design cues and some modern touches. For instance, the upholstery had the same pattern as the original Golf GTI. The instrument panel though it was modern, with big round dials for the speedometer and tachometer. Between those two there was a small LCD display for the on-board computer. The infotainment unit was on the center console and it could feature a navigation system.

　　The all-wheel independent suspension and the optional adaptive dampers made the car planted to the road.
