2007 volkswagen gti Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The DSG transmission (standard on the Fahrenheit trim) can be shifted via paddles on the steering wheel or placed in fully automatic mode. For a GTI with the regular six-speed manual, expect a 0-60-mph time of about 6.7 seconds. Safety: Standard safety equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, stability control, front seat-mounted side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. In NHTSA testing, the four-door Rabbit/GTI earned four stars out of five for its protection of front occupants in frontal impacts.

Review: 2007 Volkswagen GTISource: MSN Autos...and it took some practice for me to work it smoothly.Be aware, though, that a new GTI offering is a 6-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) that can operate like an automatic but has a fast-shifting Tiptronic feature, too.

2007 Volkswagen GTI Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The transverse, front-mounted engine has direct fuel injection, drive-by-wire throttle, dual overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and maintenance-free hydraulic lifters. Inside, the GTI reflects VW's skill at interior design. The fit and finish is among the best in the class, as are the choices of materials and surfaces. The bucket seats are exceptionally comfortable because they are shaped to provide excellent lateral and under-thigh support. During sporty driving, the seats hold the driver and front-seat passenger securely. Sporty handling is a large part of the GTI equation. The... |
