Options: Six-Speed Automatic DSG with Tiptronic
Price after options: $24, 930
So, it's Sunday. Not Friday. Which means...another "regular car", but don't get me wrong. This is by far not just some ordinary car. The VW GTI is legend as the hot-hatch of hot-hatches.
Now if someone were to ask me which hot-hatch I would've said the Mazda MazdaSpeed3, no questions asked. And even today it was difficult to choose which one to put in the garage, but one thing changed my opinion: actually sitting in the current generation Rabbit. My friend The Car Girl has one and it is so roomy inside that you have a clown car feeling when you get out. The car looks smaller than it is, plus it has the functionality of a hatchback.
Did I mention that it's fast and handles great? Oh, can't forget the one option: DSG transmission. This transmission has become the gold standard for what a performance dual-clutch should be. And it should since VW owns Bugatti, which also has a similar transmission.
Plus it is affordable, proving that you don't need to spend $50K to get a performance car.
