Like Mazda, Volkswagen used Chicago to unveil a special-edition model, the GTI 20th Anniversary Edition. Introduced in 1983 as the Rabbit GTI, VW's latest pocket-rocket pays homage to the original with numerous styling cues, including a polished-metal Rabbit logo with "GTI" red badge on rear hatch. Additional performance accents include black-surround headlights; a larger-diameter, single polished exhaust; darkened taillamps; side mirrors housed in black; and body-color bumper, chin spoiler, side valances, lowered rear bumper, and fixed rear spoiler above the hatch. A lowered sport suspension, 18-inch Z-rated summer performance tires, and larger, vented four-wheel disc brakes help the new GTI tackle the curves. Power comes from VW's ubiquitous 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine--good for 180 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque--which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The 20th Anniversary GTI's cockpit is a driver's paradise, with black-and-gray sport-cloth Recaro front seats wearing red "GTI" embroidery, black headliner, striped safety belts, the signature "golf ball" shift knob with red "GTI" logo, and a brushed-aluminum plaque that indicates the exact production number for the model, anywhere from 1 to 4000. This is number 3151. This special GTI comes to showrooms this spring (dated February 2003), priced at $23,225.ADULT DRIVER. I purchased this GTI from Cherry Hill Volkswagen at 79,900 miles, February of 2009. I use it mainly for daily work commute (8 miles total) and some weekend getaways. I'm proud to say it's never been smoked in, and rarely eaten in. This car is an absolute BLAST to drive! Begrudgingly we need to part ways for something more family friendly.
