Rear windows should open out at the rear to cut down on wind bufetting when sunroof is open.

2006 Volkswagen GTI Review:
This car provides the most fun one can have in a 5 pasenger car for under $30,000. It accelerates very well and handles even better. Other cars might do better in certain categories but, a MKV GTI does very well in most; it is the total package in the 5 passenger or even 4 pasenger sport coupe category.

2006 Volkswagen GTI Review:
After couple of thousand miles with the car mostly on the highway I am convinced that this is the best Golf every built by VW. A very stylish appearance combined with a powerful engine and an excellent suspension makes this Golf a sports car for the everyday usage.

The leather trim and "power on tap." This is a great overall car.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Volkswagen GTI?
1st gear a bit "hard"

2006 Volkswagen GTI Review:
The 2006 Volkswagen GTI is great to drive, quick off the mark, finally capable of keeping up with the Opel OPC, has a smooth ride, and great comfort. You have got to love German engineering.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Volkswagen GTI?
The T U R B O! I also like the dial for the sunroof and infinitely variable level controls for the HVAC.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Volkswagen GTI?
Please give me an independent suspension, I'm tired of spinning out when the road surface gets bad.

2006 Volkswagen GTI Review:
This is my second Volkswagen GTI and I must say they get a bad rap on the speed and handling sides. With a straight (no cat) exhaust system and a set of TEIN coils I'm able to hustle Nissan 350Zs and stock Honda S2000s to the point of spin in the moutians. All while being able to clock repeatable 14.4s @ 94 mph at the local drag strip. Try to find that elsewhere with heated seats and 150 mph stability in other cars for $350 a month.
