	VW HISTORY
		Two years after the 2.0-litre 8-valve GTI failed to impress anyone greatly, Volkswagen decided that what the world needed was another 16-valve version, which was launched in January 1993.
		VW tried to sex it up a bit with a 1272cc, 55 bhp lump in Sep '83, but even calling it Coupe S, sticking four lights on grille, a rev counter, sports seats and steering wheel, couldn't hide the fact that this was another slow old slug.
		GTIs mirrored the spec of its hatchbacked cousin with a 110 bhp fuel injected 1.6, close ratio 'box with uprated suspension and rear anti-roll bar.

	History of the Volkswagen GTI
		The first GTI was quite nibble, because of its light weight, and the 1.8l 8v 90 hp engine supplied plenty of power for the car.
		The Rabbit GTI is the lightest of all GTI's, weighing in at 1850 lbs.
		By the way, the fastest VW of all time was the 1992 Corrado SLC, which has the same 172 hp engine, but was based on the A2 chassis, and therefore a hell of a lot lighter than the A3's.

	CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2006 Volkswagen Golf GTI
		That doesn't mean that older GTIs were in any way poor efforts (I bought a new one myself once and loved it) but the new car is way ahead in terms of feel, stability and general dynamic capability, as we'll see.
		A VR6 V-6 GTI was launched and it generated enough torque-steer to require a ride-along chiropractor.
		According to VW, this is one of few engines built anywhere that uses a powerful combination of homogenous direct fuel injection and exhaust turbo with intercooler.

	VW GTI - 2006 Volkswagen GTI Road Test Review
		VW claims a 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds, top speed is governed at 130 mph.
		To their credit, VW not only recognized that recent GTIs had lost their edge, they used it as motivation to help sharpen the fifth generation models and get back on track.
		GTI Mark V is sporty and sensible, with some serious attitude—just like it used to be.

	USATODAY.com - Peppy engine makes VW's GTI thrill to drive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		VW has simplified the GTI choices, eliminating GLS and GLX trim levels and offering instead the 1.8T with manual, the 1.8T with five-speed Porsche Tiptronic automatic and the VR6 with manual.
		VW took back the car for several days, relubricated the door seals, tweaked some other areas and handed it back.
		If the GTI test car was representative — and it doesn't seem so, judging from comments on GTI chat sites and reviews of the vehicle elsewhere — you want no part of it whatsoever at any price.

	2006 VW Golf GTI MK-V Review
		Then in 1983, seemingly out of nowhere, VW introduced the GTI – a Rabbit with enough horsepower to leave everything else in its wake, handling tweaks to make the already nimble little car even more so, and just enough sexy trim so anyone who knew anything about cars knew that it was cool.
		My nephew, on the other hand, was driving an original 83 GTI at the time and, while he spent a great deal of time under the hood, it served him well in spite of his tendency to flip it up on its side occasionally.
		The sporty stance and styling is distinctively VW and its connection with the past GTI is apparent.

	VW Driving: VW GTI 1.8T and VR6
		Available in both a 1.8T or the monsterous VR6, the GTI is loved by daily commuters and Larry Leadfooters alike.
		The term VR6 is a hybrid of the word "VEE" and the German word "Reihenmotor," which loosely translates to inline V. VW engineers retained the single cylinder head, excellent balancing and narrow width of a traditional inline 6-cylinder and merged the compactness of a conventional V6 to produce the VR6.
		A sense of automotive history is apparent in its preserved simplicity -- an artifact of a bygone era, yet the innovative machinery under the hood is a reminder of what automotive engineering can achieve with a little vision, a need for power and some midnight oil.

	Volkswagen Golf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		VW purists in America and company executives in Germany were displeased, and for the 1983 model year the Pennsylvania plant went back to using stiffer shocks and suspension with higher-quality interior trim.
		The GTI version, launched in Europe in 1976 and in the U.S. in 1983, virtually created the hot hatch genre overnight, and many other manufacturers since have created special sports models of their regular volume-selling small hatchbacks.
		The Golf 5 GTI is hailed as a return-to-form for the progenitor of the genre.

		Leading up to the red ink was VW's development of the Touareg sport-utility and the Phaeton sedan.
		Increasing the capacity of the plant is a hedge for VW against a strong euro versus the dollar.
		He'll only say that he wants VW of America to sell more vehicles this year than it did last year, when sales were 256,111.

		The only weak area of th GTI is the soft suspension which VW has the cure for - Eibach sport springs.
		VW GTI GLS (with 150hp) was slowest to 60.
		The GTI has a 4yr/50K b-to-b warranty and 5yr/60K powertrain warranty, not a 10/100 as that was ended last year.

	KickingTires: Head to Head: Mazdaspeed3 vs. VW GTI 4-Door
		The GTI's interior has an upscale, luxurious look and feel to it, while the Mazdaspeed3's cabin is fitted with a variety of fl plastic pieces that don't equal the GTI's trim in terms of quality.
		Yes, the VW has the nicer interior, but its reliability will be lower and its operating costs after the warranty expires will be much higher.
		Having worked at a VW dealership for a year I can honestly say that new VW's simply are not on par with previous generations.

		VW got this right and then it was copied by Mazda who made the identical 323 Familia.
		VW is a troubled automaker and they need for these MKV cars to be a success in the market place.
		VW is in trouble, they really need to work on their customer service and should improve the reliability of their cars.

	History of VW GTI - European Car Magazine
		This VW began its new career on a rotisserie, where its stripped body was seam-welded and fitted with an integral cage for great torsional strength.
		This GTI ran in the Professional Sportscar Racing Endurance Challenge (EC) and is largely stock save for an Autopower rollbar and a modified coolant inlet on the head gasket to reduce head temperatures.
		The GTI ran Toyo Proxes, the spec tire for the EC series, although Michael was limited to 15-in.

	Ford Focus SVT vs. VW GTI - CarSpace Automotive Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The VW is probably the nicer car, at least now, but I swear the damn things are held together by duct tape and bailing wire.
		I have always been a fan of VW GTI's and probably would of bought a 1.8 GTI but my experience with VW dealers in Miami, Atlanta, and Maine made me realize I would hate having to deal with them for service, let alone trying to buy one.
		That's basically why I went with the SVT over the GTI, the buying experience was just a lot better, I have had repeatable miserable experiences in trying to buy VW's over the years that I went with another brand.

		To this trend VW is making headway with providing upgradeable cars with the quality and handling that is only known to come from Germany.
		The GTI looks very small and tight but inside there is plenty of room for people or luggage.
		It was easy to use, but the layout could have been more stylish with some often-used buttons on top instead of all the way at the bottom where they are blocked by the gear shifter.

	SCCAForums.com - 16V VW GTI Set-Up for AutoX
		My 16-year old son just purchased a 1987 VW GTI 16V, with the intent of driving it to/from school and racing it on the weekends with me. It's got some miles on it, but is in remarkably good shape, with new exhaust, timing belt/water pump, tires, etc. All in all, it's a pretty solid car.
		It would be pretty difficult to make a 16v A2 GTI nationally competitive in DSP (understatement of the year?) but DSP is a good fit regionally unless one of the national hotshoes lives nearby.
		The A2 VW chassis is a great platform, there's just no where for it to really play fairly in SCCA (regional STS would be a decent playground).

	VW Golf Gti Turbo
		The GTi badge sits a little apologetically on the rump but huge alloys and wide super low profile rubber band tyres shout loudly at you in a max power kind of way.
		Very early models were criticised for their brakes but that was long since solved and big brakes backed up by modern ABS means that, like most modern cars, stopping power at least matches up to the going power.
		Central locking, deadlocks and the usual modern anti-theft gear mean that the GTi should stay in your possession much longer than many of the originals managed to.
