What stands out most about the GTI is its balance. The GTI is quick, nimble and absolutely a blast to drive fast, just as it always has been. It’s not great at any one thing, but it’s very, very good at almost everything.

The 2010 Volkswagen GTI MkVI has a lot going for it. As far as hot hatches are concerned, none of the competition offers the same mix of refinement, sophistication and driving good times that the GTI does.

With the possible exception of a John Cooper Works Mini Cooper S, the Volkswagen GTI is the most neutral-handling front-drive sport hatch I have ever driven. From the inside of the car looking out, I would swear I was behind the wheel of a $50,000 sports coupe.

The GTI zings to 60 in a respectable 6.1 seconds and still manages to return 24 mpg in city driving and 32 on the highway.
Thanks to the car’s precise, well-weighted steering the GTI rips happily through corners with little lean and minimal understeer.

The all-new 2010 Volkswagen GTI is mature and refined, yet I could feel the spirit of the original every time I slid behind the wheel of the new one. It may be a four-door car, but it’s also a three-letter word for fun.
