Volkswagen Golf GTI Insight Review
What We Like?
- 2.0L turbocharged engine with 262 hp
- Improved infotainment responsiveness
- Spacious interior with ample cargo space
- Return of physical buttons on the steering wheel
What could have been better?
- Manual gearbox option discontinued, upsetting purists
- Priced at ₹53 lakh in India, premium for a hot hatch
- Rear seats may feel cramped for tall passengers
- Adaptive suspension still results in a stiff ride on rough roads
