Upscale Small Cars, 2012 Volkswagen GTI

According to many published reviews and test drives, 2012 Volkswagen GTI was named top Upscale Small Cars. Though the 2012 Volkswagen GTI isn't the fastest or most nimble upscale small car, reviewers and test drivers think the GTI is a great value because it offers a little bit of everything at an affordable price. MSRP of the 2012 Volkswagen GTI is between $23,995 and $31,695.

The 2012 VW GTI is available in two- and four-door models. Both models are available with the convenience and sunroof, sunroof and navigation and Autobahn packages. The review from Autoblog said:"As far as hot hatches are concerned, none of the competition offers the same mix of refinement sophistication and driving good times that the GTI does."

The automotive press likes the spunk of the Volkswagen Golf, but thinks that the Volkswagen GTI, the performance-tuned version of the Golf, goes above and beyond the call of duty with its ample power and precise handling. Unfortunately, the GTI's performance isn't so perfect when compared with its classmates. But there is one thing the 2012 Volkswagen GTI is good at, and that's packing a lot of value into a small package, which is why we named the GTI the Best Upscale Small Car for the Money.

Test drivers think the GTI's cabin materials are exceptional, and are even more impressed that most adults will be able to sit comfortably in the front and back seats. Add good fuel economy for the class, and a low base price compared with the pricey Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series, and the VW GTI offers the ideal balance of price, practicality and fun-to-drive character that make the GTI an ideal choice for shoppers looking for a car that does a lot of things well.
