In this episode of carwow, the team delves into the upgraded Volkswagen Golf GTI Mark 8.5, focusing on its souped-up 2 L turbocharged petrol engine now pushing out a hefty 265 horsepower. They put the GTI through its paces, testing its acceleration, braking, and handling capabilities, all while highlighting key features like the enhanced brakes, suspension, and steering. From the upgraded front limited-slip differential to the progressive steering and Dynamic Manager, the GTI is armed to deliver an exhilarating driving experience.
As they dissect the exterior design tweaks, including the iconic GTI badging, illuminated VW badge, and redesigned tail lights, it's evident that the GTI exudes a sporty yet refined aesthetic. Inside, the GTI boasts stylish GTI Tartan seats, a sporty steering wheel, and customizable ambient lighting, adding a touch of flair to the cabin. Despite its practicality in terms of passenger space and cargo room, the team points out five irksome aspects of the Golf GTI, such as limited rear visibility and the absence of a manual transmission option.
Wrapping up with a verdict, the team suggests potential buyers consider the standard GTI for a good all-around performance. However, they steer enthusiasts towards the Club Sport or Golf R models for a more thrilling driving experience. Ultimately, while the standard GTI offers a solid package, the allure of the higher-tier models with enhanced performance capabilities proves hard to resist for those seeking a truly exhilarating ride.
