I just saw in the Consumer Reports Used Car Buying Guide that the 2015, 2018, and 2019 GTI were in the list for used cars to avoid. Looking further into details, the engine, amongst various other areas, were rated much worse than average. I'm considering buying a used GTI but these latest...

Which is the better buy- GTI Mk 7 or Focus ST (2017 model)? In terms of ownership costs? A used Focus ST costs a bit less than a GTI but the GTI has better fuel economy. Which car is more reliable? Replacement parts for the Focus ST will likely be less expensive. The GTI has a nicer interior...

With the recent economic downturn, auto sales have dropped and automakers are likely going to offer special deals to entice buyers. In Canada, VW is currently offering $3000 cash back, or 0% financing for 60 months for 2019 GTI. So perhaps VW will also be offering this deal on 2020 GTIs later...

What would you rather purchase - 2020 Mk7 or 2021 Mk 8... Mk8 will supposedly be priced a bit higher than the Mk7 and have around 242 hp. I dont think an increase from 228 hp to 242 will make much of a difference in performance. The difference in the exterior design is negligible. But...

Which would be the better buy? GTI has 220 hp vs 186 for the Mazda 3 Base price of a GTI is much more than the Mazda 3 Cost of ownership for the GTI will be more than the Mazda 3. The Mazda will likely be MUCH more reliable. GTI is likely more fun and satisfying to drive- but is it worth...

I really like the GTI and am seriously considering getting a used one 4-5 years from now (2019+ model). However, the reliability concerns are what's holding me back. The car really fits all my requirements- fast, fun to drive, good fuel economy, and large cargo capacity. The other cars that I...

1. In Canada, unfortunately the base model GTI priced at $27,995 is only available for the 2 door model. The 4 door GTI is available with the Autobahn package and is priced at $32,895. The 2 door with the Autobahn package is priced at $31,995. I really prefer the 4 door model over the 2...
