2021 Volkswagen Golf
Even after 46 years in the U.S. market, the Golf is still making waves. Car and Driver summed up the Golf as "a great compact hatchback" with "splendid ride-and-handling, two satisfying transmission choices, [and] capacious cargo space among compacts.”
2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI
The Golf GTI continues its legacy as a sport compact hatchback, with editors describing it as being “Exceedingly fun for the price, wonderful transmissions, classy and practical.”
2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
The Jetta GLI offers a similar driving experience as the Golf GTI while providing more backseat space. Some of the praise includes: “Always entertaining to drive, accommodating rear seat and trunk, [and] costs less than the hatchback GTI.”
