The car is really fast
This is the best car to cruise around town in. Drives great with plenty of power. Everything in the engine is easy to replace except the turbo.

Awesome All-Rounder; Just Keep Up With Maintenance
Had a 2008 GTI and this car is everything the moto-press says it is. Very peppy, surprisingly good highway cruiser, much roomier on the inside than the outside would lead you to believe. Straightforward controls. Handles like a sportcar, which also means slightly rough. Great fuel economy. The GTI as are most European cars is very sensitive to maintenance so do NOT slack on it and it will put a huge smile on your face regularly.

Very pleasant.
Very pleasant. I got a quick response to my emails and calls. I would do business with them anytime.
Trusty old friend
This is really my wife's car and I just simply steal it from her whenever I want because I love driving it (own a SportWagen myself). In the 7 years we've owned the GTi it has been a pleasure to own and drive, my wife is so attached to it that she refuses to buy any other new/used car. Over the years its needed a few small things fixed but I still think its one of the most reliable vehicles we've owned (and we owned a lot of them). Its needed a cooling fan which cost us 100 bux about 3 years ago, recently rear rotor shields started to rattle - fixed them for about 2 dollars and some of my time in the driveway (mechanic for trade). Spoiler LED light went out which was covered by the warranty. I do all our maintenance thus it gets 3-5k mile Motul synthetic oil changes, cam follower changes every 30k miles, 40k DSG service. I've updated the PCV system, replaced the timing belt and variable cam timing- chain recently and did 1st carbon cleaning at 100k miles. One set of coil packs and 1 rear wheel bearing - caused a ABS light to come on. I don't think you can find a better car in its price range or category which gives anyone as big of a smile on their face as this GTi. It handles like a dream with good set of Pilot Super Sport and upgraded sway bar. Car gets regularly cleaned/waxed and even after 10 years it looks spectacular. We can afford to own vehicles many times its original price tag, but why ? This car has been a such hoot, we actually own two MKV VWs because this one has impressed me so much !

Very pleased with their customer service and helping with
Very pleased with their customer service and helping with me finding that new car. This is my second vehicle purchase with Dave Mortan and I am just as satisfied as I was 8 years ago when I bought the first vehicle. Tom and John made the experience very pleasurable and less stressful. They covered everything I wanted and then some.
Great lil? car !
In my opinion this is one of the best hatch out there. Its quick, light, nimble and VERY responsive. This car is a pocket rocket with seating for 4 or 5.

Tony at this dealership has answered all my questions.
Tony at this dealership has answered all my questions. I really had an interest in the car, but really want the metallic blue color and 19” wheels that will be replaced. They have a good price on the car, that's very tempting.
Sporty and Fuel efficient
THe best thing about this car and the reason I bought it: when you give it some gas the turbo kicks in and gives great boost and fun. However, cruising down the highway at 70 with cruise control on you get 33 MPG. This car is fun to drive, the dash looks amazing at night and handles like a dream.
