Drivers in the market for a new vehicle may have considered the ever-popular German brand, Volkswagen. The brand offers drivers decades of history, as well as hot, new features. A prime example of Volkswagen’s commitment to refining long-living models is the newest Golf GTI. The 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI in Topeka, KS will be forty years old in 2016, making it one of the most successful models in the brand’s lineup. A number of new technology and safety features have been incorporated into the 2016 model, giving drivers more bang for their buck.
Under the hood, the 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI sports a powerful base engine.
