The MK7 2015 GTI has been available in the US for over a year now and performance parts are starting to become very commonplace. This generation marks the first GTI built on Volkswagen's new MQB platform which aims to cut down on production and tooling costs by unifying lots of common parts between different VW models. As with the previous generation, the MK7 GTI comes with the option of a 6-speed manual or DSG transmission. The car also caters to buyers of all needs and wants, coming in three different trim packages: S, SE, and Autobahn. All three trims are available with the optional Performance Pack which includes larger brakes and rotors from the Golf R and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. The 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 motor is a complete re-design of the previous powerplant found in the MK6 GTI and has proven to be very tuner friendly on the ECU tuning/software side. There are huge performance gains to be had just from just a tune. It also responds very well to aftermarket performance parts such as a cold air intake, downpipe, catback exhaust, upgraded diverter valve, or coilovers.

Volkswagens have always been known as "people's cars" this is actually what the name means. They have maintained a great reputation for being solid and reliable cars and this is what has drawn so many buyers to them even over the desirability of the sporty GTi models such as the Golf. In 1989 Volkswagen unveiled the Volkswagen Corrado. This was a new Volkswagen that broke the mould in terms of design and elegance and it went on to be Volkswagen's fastest car ever. Unfortunately after six years the model was to be discontinued due to cost cutting and the low profit margins of the vehicle. The first UK right hand drive model Corrado's arrived in May of 1989 and had the Golf GTi 1.8 litre 16 valve engine fitted. Two years later after desirability for a higher performance model Volkswagen announced the arrival in April 1991 of the supercharged G60 model. This had previously been available only as a special order in left hand drive.
1992 saw the 1.8 litre engine replaced with a 2.0 litre unit with a catalytic converter being mandatory. ABS brakes were also added with an increased torque to improve driveability but the power output of 136bhp remaining the same as the 1.8 litre model. September of the same year saw the six cylinder VR6 engine included in the Corrado model line-up. This was a 2.9 litre unit based on the Golf VR6's 2.8 and took the Corrado to become Volkswagens first 150mph car. With regard to specification, all models specs were high but the later models did have slightly better equipment hence these are the most desirable of the bunch. Obviously the brand is renowned for its reliability and with the Volkswagen network parts aren't a problem although they aren't now as readily available as they once were and can be pricey. This is probably Volkswagens best ever sports coupe and is still hugely popular with enthusiasts worldwide with owners clubs plentiful. An excellent car that is sure to be a future classic.
25 Oct 2018 by Tom White This Polo might not be as shouty as a pair of Beats headphones, but can it deliver on its big aural promise? 19 Oct 2018 by Matt Campbell My dogs don't like it when I drive enthusiastically. So I dropped them off at the kennels for the weekend when I got the 2019 VW Polo GTI. 31 Aug 2018 by Richard Berry The new Polo is the smallest Volkswagen you can currently buy, and the angriest is the Polo GTI. So, is it too small? Does it cost too much? And is it quick enough? 2 May 2018 by Nedahl Stelio Getting into a Polo is like visiting an old friend. You know they're good value, fairly reliable, look great and you like the way they do things. 1 May 2018 by Dan Pugh The new VW Polo is bigger than it's ever been before, stretching the boundaries of a "city car" with its cabin space and luggage room.
