Alternative universe where in 1990 lemans introduced a hot hatch class:

Honda enters their new CRX featuring the C30A V6 engine from an NSX.

VW enters a mk2 Golf GTI featuring a tuned 12 valve 2.8L VR6 engine from the Passat.

Suzuki enters their mk2 Swift GTi with a 1.6L G16B turbo charged engine

Toyota enters their EP80 starlet GT-turbo with an upgraded 1.5L 4E-FTE engine

Renault enters their brand new Clio with a 2.8L V6 from the Renault 25.

In the end Honda wins by a huge margin citing both aerodynamic efficiency and brutal grip. VW retires after 14 hours due to an overheating issue. Toyota don’t quite have the pace to keep up with the larger capacity V6 cars but the Suzuki punches way above its weight coming in second.

2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI Review: How the Hot Hatch Icon Stays Relevant After 45 Years

The Iconic Hot Hatch Returns: Inside the Latest Golf GTI

As an ardent fan who’s owned three GTIs over the last 15 years, few new car launches get me as excited as a new generation of the iconic hot hatch. The Mk8 2022 model ushers the GTI into a high-tech new era while retaining that raw, analogue driving feel intrinsic to its DNA.

A Brief History of an Icon

Ever since the first Mk1 GTI introduced the concept of an attainable, performance-oriented “hot hatch” to the masses in 1976, driving enthusiasts have had a new affordable toy. My first was a handed-down Mk2 from the late 80s, complete with plaid cloth seats cramping four friends during high school cruises along winding backroads (sorry Mom!). But as I upgraded over the next decade from a Mk4 to Mk6, power, tech and refinement increased without losing that playful spirit.

Mk8 Brings Big Upgrades Under a Familiar Shape

You’d be forgiven for not immediately noticing the Mk8 as all-new – the rounded silhouette and C-pillar “kink” are trademark GTI. But under the skin lies the biggest overhaul yet, sitting on VW’s latest MQB platform packing upgraded systems. Options like matrix LED headlights, a digital cockpit and driver assistance systems bring the GTI clearly into the 2020s. Yet a multi-function perforated leather wheel and trademark plaid seats keep that classic identity. More Power with Serious efficiency GTI fans care most about what’s under the hood, and the Mk8’s turbocharged 2.0-liter engine adds 13 hp for a total 241 hp and 273 lb-ft torque - hugely usable grunt. My DSG test car hit 60mph in under 6 seconds thanks to that immediate shove, while delivering 34 mpg highway. And the optional performance exhaust pops and crackles just enough to satisfy when revved, without annoying the neighbors constantly. Balanced, Playful Handling Remains Core Strength Through sweeping curves of my favorite SoCal canyon routes, the GTI stayed planted and lively. The new VAQ limited-slip differential meant I could really lean on the accurate steering and impressive grip levels from wider tires before gentle understeer curbed my momentum. Adaptive dampers on certain trims add greater compliance in comfort mode too. It’s still the trusty Front-wheel drive balance that makes the GTI so satisfying to chuck around bends. Gearbox Options to Suit Any Driver Stick-shift fans can rejoice as VW retained the standard 6-speed manual for ultimate involvement, with auto rev-matching helping smooth shifts. But most will opt for the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic that suits the GTI’s torque-rich character - snappy, smart shifts to better accelerate but still highly responsive using paddles. I’d welcome the manual’s added driver connection, but won’t mourn losing the DSG’s convenience in traffic.

How Rivals Compare

Having tested the latest Civic Type R and Hyundai i30 N Performance, the Mk8 GTI keeps pace with these FWD heavies while undercutting entry prices. The Honda and Hyundai build on front-drive with their less-sophisticated platforms by adding power or handling sharpness – turning up extremes where the GTI takes a more holistic approach. All three deliver huge grins, but the GTI remains that all-weather, all-condition dynamo.

Why it Matters

As electric swells, SUVs dominate and autonomous looms, few cars engage a driver’s senses like the 2022 GTI. It's an icon that helped define the hot hatch formula of blending real-world practicality with responsive handling, communicative feedback and usable performance. The Mk8 carries that torch, with a maturity that should woo enthusiasts for another generation. Few cars so consistently deliver driving joys with such an infectious spirit as the GTI for the money.

Only Hybrid I’d own. @_craigsims special #VTEC #Mk2 #Jetta #GTi with a Renown 130R Dark Suede inside. 🔥 Wish there were more old #VW’s at the track here in Cali, thinking about turning my ol’ 89 #Golf into a more track-ready example. Would it survive? 😯🏁 www.renownusa.com (at Renownusa.com San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/CecuD-grzKP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
