Buyers can also choose from a four-door or two-door hatchback body style and additional trim packages that add thoughtful touches like a leather trimmed steering wheel, sunroof and touchscreen stereo system.

There is also a choice between a dual clutch six speed automatic transmission and a manual transmission. The automatic helps the new VW GTI achieve an impressive 33 miles per gallon on the highway while the manual gets a still respectable 31 miles per gallon on the highway.
