The Volkswagen GTI was recently the recipient of the Highest Ranked Compact Sporty Car APEAL Award given by J.D. Power and Associates. APEAL stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study.  This study examines how gratifying a new vehicle like the GTI is to own and drive. The Volkswagen GTI has an all new sport-tuned suspension, sport seats, a stylish leather wrapped steering wheel, shiny alloy wheels and a 200 hp engine that comes standard. All these features help boost its sporty look and feel inside and out. This VW is also fuel efficient with its amazing gas mileage and efficient engine. There's no reason not to love this GTI and J.D. Power and Associates would agree!
