We encourage you to stop by our dealership and see what the new Volkswagen Golf GTI can do for you!
Volkswagen Golf GTI vs Honda Civic Type R
With both the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Honda Civic Type R, you can expect satisfying performance under the hood. However, the Honda Civic Type R might seem like the better choice, courtesy of a more powerful engine underneath the hood. The Volkswagen Golf GTI isn't far behind with its turbocharged engine, but thanks to an impressively efficient engine, you'll spend more time driving and less time pumping gas. The Volkswagen car delivers 25/34 mpg city/highway, while the Civic Type R limits you with 22/28 mpg city/highway.
The Golf GTI comes with a 10.3-inch gauge cluster, bolstered front seats with red accents, and a three-spoke steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls. You'll also find a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. While the Honda offers similar features, it only comes with a seven-inch touchscreen. If you want more convenience and control, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is the better option.
Volkswagen Golf GTI vs Mazda3 Hatchback
Between the Volkswagen and Mazda hatchbacks, only one option is the better performer. The Volkswagen car utilizes a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The Mazda3 can't keep up, working with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder powertrain that outputs 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet.
Seamless connectivity should be a guarantee with most vehicles. While the Mazda3 offers a standard 8.8-inch touchscreen, it comes in second to the 10-inch touchscreen inside the Volkswagen Golf GTI. The Volkswagen hatchback makes your connected life simpler with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, allowing you to attach your mobile device via a USB cable and enjoy your music, apps, Podcasts, and more!
