Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch: Gets red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- Fun-to-drive: The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds.
- Handles like a pro: Feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
- Great seats: R-Line seats give you a good driving position and are comfortable and supportive. Massage function is good.
- Spacious and practical: Offers plenty of room, lots of cubby holes and charging options. Dual wireless charging up front is a great feature.
- Impressive tech package: Comes with a 15-inch touchscreen, a digital driver's display, and a HUD too
- Powerful turbo-petrol engine: Offers an engaging drive experience and suspension set up gives you the best of both words - comfortable and sporty when you want it to be.

Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Inconsistent cabin quality: While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- Missing features: Does not get leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
- Missing features: Does not get keyless entry, powered and ventilated front seats
- Not so efficient: Fuel efficiency of the large turbo-petrol engine in traffic and when driven with a heavy right foot can drop
