For 44 years, the Volkswagen Golf GTI has established a name that has been carried throughout the years.
While we’re not fans of the word ‘Icon’ at Popcar, no rental vehicle deserves a better description than the Golf GTI- letters synonyms for an enthralling hot hatch performance!
With its spunky exteriors combined with a turbocharged engine and athletic handling, it’s no wonder that this model is one of the favourite rentals of its range. While the bodies are undeniably modern, the high-end cabin provides a classic atmosphere with its sleep upholstery. The interior of this sporty vehicle is amplified by roomy seating in both rows, and a hatchback design affords massive cargo hold to boot. Meanwhile, The Volkswagen Golf GTI handles with enthusiasm and is equipped with automatic transmission.
