1991 Volkswagen GTI Review
Price Estimate: $2,744 - $4,291
Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
A tilt steering wheel is now standard on all GTIs. A three-speed automatic finds its way to the options list for the base model, but the five-speed manual is still the way to go for maximum spunk.

Best hatchback out there!

1991 Volkswagen GTI 16V 2dr Hatchback
All for all best car for the value.
My 91 GTI 16v came with BBS RM wheels
that are extremely rare, Recaro seats,
Quad headlamp grill, big flairs, close
ratio tranny, and 2.0 16v engine.
This car handles like it is on rails,
it is extremely quick, really reliable
and it is a blast to drive each time I
get in it. In my opinion, much, much
better than the Japanese … competition.
it's not a porsche, but FUN

I've owned this car for 9 years and i've replaced a
few things on it, even putin my own cat-back
muffler...
I bought this car with 94000 miles and now it has
247000 miles. the oil pressure is so-so, but it still
hauls but down the 405! I'll miss it.
I'll always have fond memories of this car. took me
from salt lake city to huntington beach at least 5
times a year and … sometimes much more!

Love the car! I have added a number of aftermarket parts to mine, including Poly-bushings in the rear end, tokico illum 5-way shocks with H&R srings all around, and a 2 in. Sebring exhaust. the performance "bang for buck" can not be beat. this car looks great with round headlights and the part leather recaro seats hold firms and tight...which is perfect for autocrossing on the weekend. I … get 28 mpg. this car has ICE cold air conditioning, which is a plus being in FL. I have two other beautiful cars ... A BMW 535i and a Mecedes-Benz 560 SEC and I still love to take this car out more often beacause of the "Fun-to-drive-factor."
amazing golf
