Is The Golf GTI A Family Hatch Or Not ?

[VWKev]

How meany dealers will lead you to the GTI should you enter and ask to be shown a family hatchback ?

So what is it, a Family Hatchback or a Sports Hatch/Hot Hatch ?

f**k off

If you also wandered in and asked for a 'sports car' would you expect them to show you a Golf?

C'mon, let's put it to bed, the Golf is a hot hatch, the practicality of a family hatchback but with the sporty feel of a sports car.

I've never met such a boring bunch in all my days.

ok i'll bite.

a "standard" golf is a family hatchback.

a golf gti is a standard golf with a bigger engine, revised suspension, a body kit and some styling changes, but NOTHING that stops it from being a family hatchback.

therefore its still a family hatchback, albeit a hot and sporty one

Right, what bar steward voted for me.

of course... we should debate the finer points of steel grey vs carbon grey

or whether XDS is a "true differential"

or the best way to apply wax to our alloy wheels



let's face it.... this is all pretty sad!

I fyou walked into a VW dealership and asked to see a sports car they'd be a bit stuck until they launch the Bluemotion. The Scirocco is a sports car in namer but I look it and I can't even think of it as a coupe, nice car but really not a coupe.
