Continue reading to find out more about this top of the line warranty. What鈥檚 Included in the People First Warranty?

Volkswagen is making sure that when you purchase a new 2018 Volkswagen vehicle, you are getting what you pay for in the years to come. When Volkswagen says that the People First Warranty is the best in America, they absolutely mean it. This is no more apparent than when comparing it to the warranties of other brands.

According to their respective manufacturers, hitting 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill takes 5.6 seconds in the Volkswagen and 6.1 seconds in the Hyundai. Top speed can be increased in the Golf GTI TCR from 250 km/h (155 mph) to 260 km/h (162 mph), while the i30 N Performance maxes out at 250 km/h (155 mph). Both tip the scales at under 1,500 kg (3,300 lbs), so you can already see where this is heading to. The Golf GTI TCR holds the high ground. Its long heritage places it ahead of the i30 N in most key aspects, as Hyundai is very new to the hot hatch class. Thus, if you鈥檙e going to bet on which one鈥檚 quicker in a timed lap, then it should be on the Volkswagen. But are you willing to trust your petrol-head gut feelings? Only one way to find out.
I well remember driving hot hatches of that era where, if the whites of your knuckles weren't showing from gripping the steering wheel firmly, you were at severe risk of being pulled into the scenery thanks to arm-wrenching torque steer. So what to make of Volkswagen's latest Golf GTI which pumps out 290PS (380Nm) via the front wheels? You should know from the start , that the Golf GTI TCR is going to be a rare beast; only 20 are scheduled for Ireland. TCR stands for Touring Car Racing. This is the road-going version of Volkswagen's race car that competes in an international racing series. It's the Mark 7 Golf GTI's last hurrah - an all-new Golf will be unveiled later this year. Hitherto the most powerful GTi was the 245PS Golf Performance. That continues as the 'entry level' version; the previous 231PS model has now been dropped. Only available with a DSG auto gearbox, it's priced at 鈧?7,495 (鈧?,325 more than the regular GTI) and it undercuts the R by just more than 鈧?,000. Interestingly it comes as a 3dr or 5dr - for the same price.
