2009 Volkswagen GTI


The 2009 Volkswagen GTI is hailed as the best among the newly-issued UPC or Upscale Small Cars in the automotive market today. In terms of cost, fuel economy and outstanding features, this latest Volks edition inspired by the previous VW Rabbit sweeps the competition, whether you are cruising around town in its 2-door model or charting the roads less traveled in its 4-door design.

Its most outstanding feature is its fuel efficiency - 21 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Coupled with a low maintenance cost, the 2009 Volkswagen GTI is clearly the best pick for those who cruise on a compact premium model.

The surprising thing about compact cars is the strength that comes with the package, and the 2009 Volkswagen GTI is no exception. It ranks high in the fun-to-drive metrics credited to its turbo-charged powertrain - 200 horsepower packed in a tension-resistant chassis. Performance boosters also include agility of handling and precise-control braking systems.

While some Volks loyals may find the new GTI exterior design a bit off their nostalgic notions as it veered away from the conventional squarish Volks body contours, some features like the front grille makes the more aggressive appearance a welcome change. This is matched by a posh 5-seater interiors and a spacious cargo area.

Any great compact car must not fall short on the safety features, and the 2009 Volkswagen GT 4-door model passed government crash tests with flying colors and both models rate high in the automotive industry insurance tests.
