Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Volkswagen GTI lands somewhere between less-mature small, sporty coupes and hatches, like the Civic Si and Mazdaspeed3, and more mature, entry-level sporty luxury coupes like the BMW 1-Series.

The Volvo C30 is perhaps the most direct rival to the GTI, though the C30 is decidedly sportier in appearance.

Audi’s A3 is a slightly larger alternative to the GTI, with five doors for those who want something closer to a wagon.

It is admittedly quite a bit more expensive.

Yet another rival for the GTI is the MINI Cooper S; many urbanites might appreciate its smaller, nimbler feel.
