Overall rating 4.5/5The Golf GTI blends the usability of a family hatch with a genuine spark of hot hatch fun. Since arriving in the late 1970s, the GTI has set the standard in its class, praised for its punchy engines, sharp yet stable handling and understated quality. Across its many generations, most notably the Mk7 (2013–2020) and Mk8 (2020–present), the Golf GTI has evolved into a sophisticated, well-equipped car. Compared to rivals like the Ford Focus ST or Hyundai i30N, the GTI stands out for its comfort, maturity and broad appeal. Expect turbocharged engines, precise steering and a practical interior packed with modern tech. Today’s versions include a slick digital cockpit, adaptive cruise control and excellent safety features, keeping the GTI ahead of the pack.
