Our long-term 2022 VW Golf GTI S has the fundamentals:
The all-season rubber proved to be more problematic when trying to get the most out of a standing start. There's plenty of wheelspin to manage, provided the GTI's stability system doesn't attempt to micromanage it first. Despite the system indicating it's been turned off and removed from the equation, it still lingers in the background, overeager to extinguish a tire fire both off the line and during an aggressive one-two upshift.
Opting for the base Golf GTI means life with the smaller 8.3-inch touchscreen, which is free of built-in navigation. And that's no big deal, as many of us prefer the guidance apps provided by Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Fans of SiriusXM will be disappointed to learn of its absence, but again, smartphones for the win. Wired connections to these multimedia interfaces are becoming a thing of the past, but the GTI S still requires a cord.
