VW Ballito and GTi Performance

VW Ballito and GTi Performance

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2017-08-31

Ballito Volkswagen is offering a great deal on the new Volkswagen Golf GTi. I test-drove this performance-orientated marvel of engineering and in my opinion it is an automotive masterpiece.

The first thing that was glaringly obvious was that I had as much acceleration as my modern environment could handle. The Sport suspension really came in handy with our coastal town planning's wide roundabouts and curvaceous country roads.

The throaty roar of the 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbocharged TSI motor immediately had my attention as I pushed the start button. Generating 169 kilowatts is impressive, and with the 350 Newton metres of torque the new GTi is, how do you say, awe-inspiring.

The six-speed DSG gearbox was sublime, and I could hardly detect the lightening fast gearshifts that were seamless and smooth. The chassis, engine, suspension and gearbox were perfectly balanced and produced a performance that left a smile on my face for hours after driving. However for me there was still so much more that the new Golf GTi had to offer.

The interior comfort and design takes the GTi to new levels. The improved infotainment system that boasts a 9,5 inch touchscreen and Volkswagens amazing new Discover Pro navigation system, all added to the feeling of comfort and luxury. The total package includes things like Park Assist and Trailer Assist, and the world-class craftsmanship finished it with perfection.

Test-driving this car should not be an option, but you will never know until you do it, so call Ballito Volkswagen on 031 - 003 4000 and book a test drive today. Not for the faint hearted.
