The Golf GTI 1.8T offers the perfect combination of style, performance and comfort. Its distinctive interior is elegantly finished with black wood inserts to the centre console, ashtray lid, gear lever and inside door handles. And is complemented by the leather trimmed sports steering wheel, gear level surround and handbrake. The "Recaro" sports seats confirm the 1.8T's lively image and include lumbar adjustment for maximum comfort. External aesthetics are enhanced with 16 inch' "Montreal II" alloy wheels and 205/55 low profile tyres and colour co-ordinated bumper strip.

But the heart of this GTI is its 1.8 litre, 20V 150 bhp engine boosted by the latest turbo-changing technology. The effect is dramatic. It accelerates the 1.8 from
0 - 62 mph in a mere 8.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 134 mph, where the law permits.

To accommodate such impressive performance, the suspension is lowered and this plays a significant role in the 1.8T's adept handling and superb roadholding.

On the open road, squeeze the throttle and you'll soon discover why the 1.8T has just redefined the GTI class.
