Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen's new Golf GTI is actually bigger than it looks. Now available with four doors, this fun-to-drive VW can route 200 horsepower through a high-tech, dual-clutch automatic transmission. It's disappointing to see the quality of the GTI's interior drop. The previous version of this car set the benchmark for fit and finish, but the new one doesn't quite match its predecessor's perfection.
