GTI Volkswagen review: The latest review dated the 5th of February 2007 for the Volkswagen (Rabbit) GTI 2007can be found at http://www.curbsite.com/?p=291. The Volkswagen GTI which was tested for the review came fitted with a two liter 4 cylinder turbocharged engine mated to a six speed 'direct shift gearbox', which could also be used as a ‘pedestrian automatic’ with the shift lever in the 'D' slot. The direct shift gearbox is very different from the normal automatic transmissions, eliminating the need for a fluid torque converter. The gear shifting is much faster at 8msm, either while upshifting or down shifting.
The reviewer has found the turbocharging and transmission to be truly outstanding on the GTI 2007. The power delivery is extremely smooth with the engine responding immediately to the inputs from the driver. The interior trim is very comfortable and much above the quality levels expected of a car of that price range. With a base price of ,100 there are options, which can slightly increase the price. To name a few, the sunroof satellite radio is priced at 70, eighteen-inch alloy wheels along with summer tires at 0 and automatic transmission is priced at 75. In 2007, both two door and four door options are available on this sporty compact hatchback.
Volkswagen GOLF and GTI: The Volkswagen Golf is the Volkswagen Rabbit. From 2006, Volkswagen has readopted the name Rabbit and dropped Golf. The Volkswagen Golf and the Volkswagen GTI are two different vehicles of the same type and both are hatchback versions of Volkswagen’s ‘Jetta’ sedan. Introduced in 2006,the GTI is the sportier version with a turbocharged 180-hp four-cylinder engine for 2006. The Volkswagen GTI 2007 comes with a five-cylinder 200 hp engine. The Volkswagen Golf is offered in GLS and GL trims along with the diesel version, the Golf GLS TDI. The Volkswagen Golf GLS and GL both are offered with a four-cylinder and 115 hp gasoline-engine. The Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI comes with a 100-hp four-cylinder diesel engine. The standard transmission for all the above is a five speed manual. Options for automatic transmissions for the GL and GLS are four-speed, whereas the GLS TDI and the GTI can be supplied with 5 speed automatic transmissions with manual shift gates. For all the above models anti-lock four-wheel disk brakes, front torso side airbags, head protecting curtain side air bags are standard fittings. For the GTI, traction control and sport suspension are standard, whereas for the others these are optional.
Volkswagen commercial vehicles: Along with passenger cars, Volkswagen has manufactured a variety of commercial vehicles also. It remained a part of Volkswagen AG, the parent company, for a long time after which in 1995, the chairman of the management of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles declared it to be a marque separate and distinct from Volkswagen Passenger Cars. Volkswagen began production of commercial vehicles towards the very end of 1949. Its first transport vehicle 'Bulli', later re-christened 'Transporter', became legendary over time. Volkswagen still manufactures the Transporter. Beginning in1950 with the first generation T1, the Transporter today is it's fifth generation avatar, the T5- Transporter/Caravelle/Multivan. In 2004 the T5 won UK’s ‘what van? van of the year’ contest. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has made inroads in other commercial vehicle segments like light duty trucks also.
