Used 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0T S
Strong and fuel-efficient turbocharged engine; sporty handling; versatile and roomy hatchback design; high-quality interior. Redesigned for 2015 welcome in the Golf GTI. Making a vehicle stronger generally means adding more weight but with the new GTI Volkswagen was able to incorporate ultra-high-strength steel which is stronger and lighter than conventional steel. The autobahn-tuned suspension separates the GTI from the rest of the pack with tighter body control; the GTI can stay more level in corners with improved grip, while still managing to provide a smooth ride. The heart of any sports car is its engine, which is why Volkswagen decided to give this one an adrenaline boost. With the most horsepower and torque of any GTI ever built for the U.S., and new performance-enhancing technologies, this hot hatch produces up to 210hp and 258 lbs/ft of torque. With the Performance Package you can get an additional 10hp along with a torque-sensing limited-slip differential and high-performance front and rear brakes with GTI embossed lettering. Inside the GTI us with loaded standard features including a touchscreen sound system, top sport heated front seats, and much more.
Upgradable technology features include Volkswagen Car-Net to help you stay connected with your car even when you're apart from it. If you want concert-quality sound, just turn up the dial on the available Fender Premium Audio System. Also with the available Driver Assistance Package there is a Park Distance Control system with front and rear proximity sensors and Forward Collision Warning system. With the available Lighting Package you can get Bi-Xenon high-intensity headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights and Adaptive Front-lighting System.

The steering鈥檚 precision and the more supple damping perform an impressive double act, smothering the road鈥檚 imperfections without numbing your lines of communication. Merc鈥檚 new 1.33-litre engine is the most powerful of this not very powerful trio, and feels so much more eager than the TSI Evo engine. Its power delivery remains smooth all the way through the rev band. The engine鈥檚 biggest flaw is that it鈥檚 so damn noisy, like a Magimix blender on steroids. So, some of the Volvo鈥檚 sound deadening would help inside, but otherwise it鈥檚 wonderful. The old A-Class had an interior that was almost an affront to Merc鈥檚 heritage, with cheap and nasty materials almost everywhere. Not so in this roomy and innovative cabin. When Mercedes first revealed the interior of its new hatch there was astonishment, mainly because it looked like such a huge step forward. Yes, it really is a huge step. For many people, this A-Class will turn out to be the junior premium car they鈥檝e been waiting for - a relatively affordable way into Mercedes ownership.
No caveats. Sit in this classy cabin, especially if it鈥檚 one of the better equipped ones, and you have pretty much everything the driver of an E-Class or S-Class enjoys. Once you start moving, of course, the experience diverges from that offered by those big saloons, but not wildly so. Mercedes鈥?timeless values have been successfully captured in hatchback form, at last. The genius of the new A-Class is that it feels really special, despite its current range of engines leaving a little to be desired. Much of this is down to the neat, clever and very modern-feeling infotainment and instrumentation, but even if you were to opt out of that level of spec you鈥檇 still have an interior that resets the bar. The only signs of sub-par build quality are the flimsy-feeling indicator stalks and the bank of climate control-buttons which, on our car at least, creaked in their housing when prodded. You don鈥檛 get any of that in the Golf. We鈥檒l never tire of saying how pleasing and sensible the cockpit is, with some useful cubbies on the centre console and the Discover Navigation system taking pride of place in the centre.
The Volvo鈥檚 interior is different but, again, highly pleasing. Everything you touch has a soft or cool finish to it, with the leather/Alcantara seats and hooped metal door pulls being particular highlights. The Mercedes sits low, like its predecessor, but has more shoulder, elbow and headroom, with tall people now allowed in the back, plus there鈥檚 slightly more boot space and a wider aperture. The Golf is better still, with a slightly bigger boot than the Merc and slightly easier access into the rear seats. Naturally, though, it鈥檚 the crossover that鈥檚 the most practical - with a far larger boot and roomy rear. But avoid speccing the sunroof on the XC40 if you regularly have adults or tall teens back there - it steals from the already tight rear headroom. If you鈥檙e serious about leasing one of these, do your homework on the Parkers website, which sifts through the best deals from external brokers. We found the Golf came out cheapest to put on a personal-contract purchase deal.
