2009 Volkswagen GTI Review

The 2009 Volkswagen GTI is a rare combination of style, power, and affordability. As a carryover from the prior model year, the GTI retains its sporty capabilities, impressive fuel economy, and innovative features. Some potential buyers could be disappointed with the Volkswagen GTI's lack of engine options; nevertheless, the drive train that is offered is more than enough in terms of performance capabilities. Also, the GTI is available as either a two-door coupe or four-door sedan, so buyers can pick the trim that best fits their unique driving needs.

Under the hood, the 2009 GTI is fitted with a generous 200 horsepower 2.0L Turbocharged I4. A six-speed manual transmission with overdrive comes standard on the model, but buyers can upgrade to a six-speed automatic with overdrive as well. Premium McPherson struts provide a smoother ride, similar to that in the Volvo C30, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes prevent lockups when brakes are suddenly pressed. The Volkswagen GTI also has an Electronic Stabilization Program that will keep the model on its intended course in the event that traction is lost.

The interior is stocked with an enormous number of standard features like CFC-free single-zone climate control, cruise control, a folding key with radio frequency remote transmitter, automatic power locks, and two auxiliary power outlets. The folding key will automatically unlock the door when it is within a certain distance from the vehicle. Also standard is a premium six-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 compatibility. This allows drivers to sync their MP3 players with the stereo system, making their playlist even more portable. A leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls provides easy access for volume control and station changing. Also, power one-touch windows are included with the base model.

The exterior of the Volkswagen GTI features a roof-mounted satellite radio antennae, dual exhaust tips, and Bi-Xenon headlamps. These innovative headlights are high-intensity and gas-charged for the ultimate in clear, pure light projection. Buyers can upgrade to a power glass sunroof and 18-inch alloy wheels as well.

Overall, the 2009 Volkswagen GTI is a great pick for those that are looking for sporty performance combined with superior fuel economy. The GTI's EPA estimated fuel rating is a notable 21 city MPG and 31 highway MPG. Also, priced at $22,990, the GTI is an excellent value for the money. With a remarkable number of standard features, the GTI far surpasses the competition on the market; however, some buyers could be disappointed that a navigation unit and Bluetooth connectivity are not included with the base model.
