COMMENTS REGARDING THE GTI.......

OVERALL PERFORMANCE:  EXECELLENT!!!!!!

THE GTI IS AN EXTREMELY QUICK AND VERY AGILE CAR.  I HAVE DRIVEN
MINE UP TO 115MPH AND EXPERIENCED SUPER STATBILITY AND QUIET. THE
ONLY SOUND BESIDES LOW ROAD NOISE IS THE HUM OF THE ELECTRONIC
FUEL INJECTION PUMP.

RELIABILITY: VERY GOOD!!!


EXCELLENT STARTING IN VERY COLD WEATHER.  REGULAR OIL CHANGES
INSURE EASE OF CRANKING FOR THE STARTER.

PROBLEMS: FEW 

THE PERELLI TIRES SEEM TO WEAR PRETTY FAST.  FRONT WHEEL 
ALLIGNMENT IS REQUIRED OFTEN.  (EVERY 10-15 K MILES).
MINE WORE OUT AT 17000 MILES BECAUSE OF MY NEGLECT.
AS FOR THE REAR TIRES, MINE ARE CLOSE TO REPLACEMENT AT
ONLY 32000 MILES.


COMFORT:  SUPER!!!

THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT SEATS IS THE BEST.  THEY SEEM TO
WRAP AROUND YOUR BODY AND THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE SUFFICIENT
FOR MY COMFORT.  I AM 6 FOOT 6 INCHS TALL.

ALL IN ALL THE GTI IS A VERY FINE RIDE AND NOT TO
FAR FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF A PORCHE OR OTHER CAR
S IN THAT CLASS.
