Volkswagen Golf
The Volkswagen Golf is all-new for the current model year, bringing with it a new platform and a fresh group of drivetrain options. The GTI edition that grabs all the glory now features 210 horsepower from its 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder. However, don't forget the base Golf's 170-hp 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder and the TDI edition's 150 horses and 236 lbs.-ft. of twist from a 2.0L turbodiesel four-cylinder. Two- and four-door body styles can be had with this compact hatchback.
