For 2012, the Volkswagen GTI is offered in two- and four-door body styles, powered by an advanced 2.0-liter 16-valve turbocharged and intercooled TSI four-cylinder powerplant.
Volkswagen is introducing a new version of the GTI for 2012 -- the GTI with Convenience and Sunroof. This takes the entry GTI -- either two-door or four -- and adds a power tilt/slide sunroof, leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel, and the Premium VIII touchscreen stereo with in-dash CD changer.
Clean, minimalist lines mixed with sharp, intricate detailing produce a style that always remains sleek and contemporary. And the design formula continues with the 2012 GTI -- a long wheelbase with short overhangs and a wide track to give that "planted," road-hugging look.
The GTI's front seats are heavily bolstered to help keep driver and front passenger supported during enthusiastic cornering. The GTI has an oversized tachometer and matching speedometer with integrated engine temperature and fuel gauges.
Producing 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0T offers up athletic performance with a six-speed manual transmission. The GTI is available with an optional DSG six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
To deliver the kind of responsive, precise handling enthusiasts expect from a GTI, fully-independent, European-tuned suspension is employed at all four corners.
The GTI's highly-praised electro-mechanical power steering system is able to vary the feel of the steering wheel to suit the speed and driving situation. Bringing the GTI to a halt are 12.3-inch-diameter vented front discs and 11.3-inch-diameter solid rear disc brakes, each with distinctive, red-painted calipers.
