With its subtly Teutonic styling, the Volkswagen GTI may not look like a performance car. But those inside will have no doubt about its dynamic capabilities. They also will enjoy the room and comfort and cargo capacity of its versatile interior.
The GTI comes as a two-door hatchback, with a choice of six-speed manual transmission or the six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox, or DSG. The GTI draws its energy from Volkswagen's smaller and lighter 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which has been turbocharged to boost its output to 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Safety features include front airbags, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags, three-point harnesses for all seating positions, LATCH child seat anchors. Anti-lock brakes come standard, along with Brake Assist, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control, and traction control.
The Vokswagen GTI is all new for 2006.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Volkswagen GTI, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Volkswagen GTI for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Volkswagen GTI was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Volkswagen GTI is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Volkswagen GTI will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Volkswagen GTI is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
