GTI, sportsmanship and history together now with the wind and the sky like great travel companions. What is tempting this tasty cocktail with ingredients so succulent? The history of the Volkswagen Golf is even bigger with this special version Cabriolet, pure passion and essence on wheels. Starting the engine and it welcomes us with a pleasant roar. Responsible for greeting is as vibrant engine petrol 2.0 TSI 210 hp; exactly the same four cylinders turbocharged direct injection and his brother closed roof. The exchange rate is always tested the 'playful' and provocative dual clutch automatic DSG six-speed , but comes standard coupled to a six-speed manual also. Up and downshift with small paddles behind the wheel is always a pleasant temptation to our fingertips. Those who do not have very large hands we would like the cams were somewhat larger, to name but one. And everyone knows that the nearly perfect performance DSG of dual clutch, a real exponent guarantee to provide more balanced dose of fun and effective. Each downshift is accompanied by a small explosion that is felt by the escape, feeling that puts us the creeps, especially if we go with the top down.
Like the version GTI with roof closed, this variant Cabriolet also riding a sports chassis lowered in the front in 22 mm and in 15 millimeters in the rear. The electronic limited slip differential XDS serves to improve traction and adhesion. Connected with electronic aids, your driving is easy, fun and safe at the same time. For the more adventurous, we recommend disconnecting the ESP, time when everyone puts their own limits. With the succession of curves and irregular state asphalt and as we increase our pace, not surprisingly in vehicles convertibles, we appreciate that this version is a step below in terms of torsional rigidity of the body. Under steer also appears to be seeking some tickling. However, the behavior of the car is spotless and noble reactions at all times one true sports car for the people. Furthermore, the GTI Cabriolet optionally is mounted system DCC adaptive chassis control with three programs running: Normal, Sport and Comfort. Depending on the choice, it acts on the degree of firmness (hardness) of the dampers. For the Sport mode, the steering becomes even more quickly, accurately and instantly. In short, this GTI convertible version is a great finale to the sixth generation of the popular compact German. Next stop is imminent: Volkswagen Golf GTI VII. The countdown has begun as an appetizer and the video we recorded the new Volkswagen Golf GTI VII in the 2012 Paris Salon.
Each model, from the entry-level Turismo specification to the range-topping Cloverleaf, has a very high level of standard equipment. Electric windows all-round along with manual air conditioning and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors are all standard. Move up to the Lusso model and you get dual zone automatic climate control, fog lights, leather steering wheel with audio controls and the Blue&Me hands-free infotainment system. Both these cars come with the ‘comfort’ chassis specification. For a sportier drive the Veloce model features sports suspension, whilst the Cloverleaf sits on suspension that’s been lowered by 10mm for a more involving drive and a racier appearance. The Veloce also gets darkened headlights, fog lights, plus aluminium kick plates and pedals. The Cloverleaf model gets all this plus dark tinted windows, sporty red brake callipers, Visibility Pack, and 18-inch spoke design alloy wheels with a dark titanium finish. Whichever the model, owners will get one of the safest cars on the road. The new Alfa Giulietta was recently awarded a Euro NCAP five-star crash safety rating and an overall score of 87/100: an impressive result that makes it the safest compact car built to date says Alfa. Top speed for both of them is 135mph and the 0-62mph acceleration times are more or less the same at 7.8 to 8.0 seconds. For business users the petrol engine incurs 15 per cent Benefit-in-Kind tax and the diesel 18 per cent. In the handling department the Giulietta offers superb cornering grip, very sharp, accurate and responsive steering and the ride is relatively comfortable but poorer road surfaces can unsettle the car. I thought the 2.0-litre diesel model with different suspension settings to cope with the extra engine weight offered a more refined and comfortable ride. As for the specifications, the Lusso versions look the best financial bet but if the buying patterns of MiTo are replicated customers will go for the sportier Veloce versions.
