Volkswagen Golf GTI Insight Review
What We Like?

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
