Overview

The Volkswagen Golf GTI continues to be a favorite of ours and a perennial 10Best award-winner—nabbing another spot on our 2020 list. Combining speed, handling, build quality, an attractive interior, and room for the family, a well-equipped GTI hatchback costs less than $30,000. You can't find a better car for less and you have to spend a lot more money to get a better one. For 2020, the sportiest version of the practical and refined Golf is the GTI—VW has discontinued the racier R model until the next-gen Golf arrives in a year or so.

What's New for 2020?

From frontal-collision warning to blind-spot monitoring, previously optional driver-assistance technologies are now standard. The biggest change for 2020 is that what was previously the industry's best bumper-to-bumper warranty at six years and 72,000 miles of coverage has been shortened to four years or 50,000 miles. To help make that reduced coverage a little easier to handle, all 2020 Volkswagens offer two years of regularly scheduled maintenance included at no charge. A new Golf likely will debut in the next year, which leaves the current seventh-generation GTI at the end of its current lifecycle. The eighth-generation GTI is set to debut at the Geneva auto show in March.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

 S: $29,515

 SE: $33,115

 Autobahn: $37,415

There's value in the entire lineup, but the S trim level is the least expensive and is a terrific deal. Moving up in the ranks to the SE and Autobahn adds features such as automatic climate control and leather seats, but the base GTI S is such a great deal that we'd be hard pressed to spend extra for the others.
