This small and reliable daily driver goes from 0-62 MPH in 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 149 MPH, pretty impressive numbers for its market segment and price range. Its power comes from a 2.0L TSI turbocharged engine delivering 210 HP, coupled with a standard gearbox is a six-speed manual transmission. The curb weight is around 2906 LBS. It features a highly efficient fuel consumption of about 8.2L/100KM, which translates directly into low-cost regular maintenance fees.
The current value of a Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk6 is $13,000, depending on the overall condition and mileage. The car comes out of the factory with Michelin Pilot Sports 4 225/45R17 tires, supported by a lower coil spring suspension system. It has improved safety measures such as an Automatic-post-collision braking system that applies brakes immediately after an accident to prevent a second crash and radar-operated cruise control. The car adds an air conditioning system with dual-zone climate control as standard. This Golf GTI 6 is one of the most reliable Golf iterations Volkswagen has ever put out, with incredible performance and handling. It represents one of the best hatchbacks ever created by the German manufacturer.
