2007 Volkswagen GTI Option Package 1 review from North America
"A blast to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upper center brake light burned out after 8 months. Dealership said the light was faulty, replaced it under warranty and has been fine ever since.
I haven't had any other problems.
General comments?
The mark of a great car is when you're having a really bad day, and all it takes is going for a drive to make you forget everything. This car is just that.
It is so much fun to drive. It has lots of power, handles incredibly well, is very refined and well appointed, the overall layout of the car is simple yet classy.
For the price this is an incredible deal; it's the best bang for your buck.
