2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI Review
Like facial tissue is dominated by Kleenex brand. So too is ‘hot hatch’ dominated by VW’s Golf GTI.
And 2020 is no exception. Because again Volkswagen delivers great performance with exceptional attention to detail for an incredible value.
Sure, that’s come to be expected by VW followers worldwide. But here in the U.S., more and more drivers are taking note. Perhaps, more importantly, more and more driving enthusiasts are doing so. And you might want to as well.

2020 VW Golf GTI Compact 4-Door Hot Hatch
So the 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI is technically a compact car. It’s got four doors, a hatchback, and a whole lotta fun behind the wheel. :0)
In fact, the GTI is just one of many versions of the Golf that Volkswagen has made, and continues to produce, for many years.
But GTI has always been the sportier version of the Golf. Bested only when VW also produces the Golf R, which is arguably a street-legal racecar.
Here’s a look at Volkswagen’s Golf family of models.
- 4-door wagons
- SportWagen
- Alltrack
- 4-door hatchbacks
- Golf
- GTI
- R
*All compacts
Additionally, VW has made electric and 2-door hatchback Golf versions in recent years.
With all these Golf variations, Volkswagen has gotten the car very ‘right.’ And that especially holds true with the GTI. Which is truly an incredible value for the performance you get.
My thanks. As always. To the team at Ontario Volkswagen in Ontario, California.
Led by my friend Earl Reed. Everyone I send loves the treatment and deals they get there.
And, I’m always happy to make a personal intro. Email me: tom [at] idrivesocal.com.
