Golf/GTI
An all-new version
of Volkswagen's compact Golf hatchback and its sporty GTI derivative will debut
in the second quarter of 2006, likely as a 2007 model, with many of the changes
otherwise found on the new Jetta with which they share platforms and components.
The current models remain available for a shortened run, with the base GL
two-door and four-door GL TDI trim levels being deleted for 2006. Available in
two- and four-door versions, the Golf comes with a standard 115-horsepower,
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that's mated to either a five-speed manual as
standard or a four-speed automatic transmission. The GLS TDI sedan wrings
extraordinary fuel economy out of its 100-horsepower, 1.9-liter turbodiesel
engine, while a peppy 180-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder version powers the
GTI. A sporty suspension delivers true European-style handling on a budget, with
anti-lock brakes and
front-side airbags standard. Options include VW's Electronic Stability Program,
heated seats and windshield washers, leather seats, and rain-sensing wipers. For
2006, VW's Electronic Stability Program becomes standard on the GTI, along with
17-inch alloy wheels and tires, and heated seats and windshield
washers.
