After all, this Golf no longer needs to prove anything. Its livery is tastefully tailored, its stance understated yet confident, it鈥檚 voice half Peter Fonda, half Sean Connery. A true Volkswagen in the Winterkorn and Hackenberg tradition, the best-seller remains built like a vault - kind of a Golf with Phaeton genes, not vice-versa. Want to hitch a ride? We鈥檙e off, out of first gear and swiftly into second, then third. Even at 4000rpm, the acoustics are still reminiscent of a padded cocoon - no suspension rumble, front axle quiver, tyre roar or driveline indispositions. The only music this car plays in your ears are the dense and delicately staggered tonalities of VW鈥檚 finest petrol engine. Equipped with sports suspension and the so-called progressive power steering, the new VW Golf GTI 2017 comes well prepared for the narrow twisties that lie like serpents up and down Mallorca鈥檚 steep, mountainous flanks. You never need sixth gear on this kind of terrain, but first is a must where hairpins climb like spiral staircases through the rocks.
With the exception of short straights and occasional switchbacks, this is mainly second- and third-gear stuff. It does not come as a surprise that the six-speed manual changes ratios as rapidly as the optional DSG transmission. It鈥檚 a quick and slick gearbox, precise and well staggered, complemented by a light and progressive clutch. Although redlined at 6500rpm, there is no real need to push the single-turbo 16-valver beyond its broad sweet spot. Waltzing one-two-three, one-two-three with the GTI along the southern edge of the Balearic island it puts in a controlled, restrained and eerily rapid performance. This is a car that frowns at and refrains from grand gestures. So you turn-in with restraint, stay in the taller of the two gears you had in mind, open up the steering early and feed the torque in diligently. The reward is a captivating blend of cornering grip and exit speed, a high level of composure, immaculate body control, not much understeer and plenty of feedback. You always know exactly where you are with this Golf, be it one tenth under the limit or a tenth over it. Over-driving the Golf GTI upsets the handling balance by inducing excess understeer and destructive ASR/ESP interference. It鈥檚 much better to keep this car on a long leash, give torque preference over power and maintain a steady flow. After all, this is no longer your father鈥檚 GTI, or the original I remember vividly from the press launch. This Golf has grown up. Of course there鈥檚 room for a sharper version, not to mention a Clubsport, but don鈥檛 forget that Mallorca and its winding byways are only one side of the coin. On faster, more expansive country roads and motorways and it will no doubt collect yet more brownie points. After all, no contender can match the Golf for its blend of laid-back competence and absolute commitment.
