High performance, practicality and affordability are hard to achieve simultaneously. While it's debatable to some, I believe the mark 8 GTI checks those boxes, and the 40th anniversary edition sweetens the deal. In fact, this with a 6 speed would earn my general recommendation over the new Civic SI, Subaru WRX, GR Corolla and more.

Thank you, Royal on the Eastside, for letting me test drive this GTI for the review!
