Overview
Competing in the compact hatchback segment, the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Hatchback is a direct competitor to more powerful rivals such as the Subaru Impreza WRX hatchback, the Ford Focus ST hatchback, and the Mazda 3 Hatchback. The GTI starts off at an MSRP of $23,995, going all the way up to $30,395, with 3 trims in the lineup. Each trim is offered with a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 engine and a default 6-speed manual transmission as standard and an optional 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission, producing 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the GTI manages a 0-60 of 7.3 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 25 MPG.
Buying Advice
The 2013 GTI Hatchback is available in 2-door and 4-door body styles. That said, the 3 trims on the GTI lineup can further be divided into sub-trims with certain packages. Among all these, our pick is the 4-door base trim with sunroof and navigation that includes HID Bi-Xenon headlamps, a 5-inch touchscreen with a navigation system, a leather steering wheel, and more. On a side note, if you select the optional dual-clutch automated manual transmission, the combined fuel economy will increase by 2 MPG.
