Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volkswagen GTI?
The handling and performance.
The "fun factor".
Squirts through city traffic just as well as flashy BMWs, without the bravado.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volkswagen GTI?
Exterior design ugly and kind of "toady" in appearance.
2008 Volkswagen GTI Review:
Overall, this vehicle kicks butt! Very refined, yet quick and responsive. Great daily driver. Must own it to truly appreciate it. German engineering FTW!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volkswagen GTI?
This is a fast car with little turbo lag.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volkswagen GTI?
Torque steer is prominent.
Bring back the fit and finish of the Mark IV for the interior.
2008 Volkswagen GTI Review:
The cheap looking plastics inside don't have any effect on the transmission or engine. Wind noise is a problem as well as torque steering. This car is about to be upstaged by the BMW 1 series. Ta Ta GTI, you are no longer king.
