2020 SPORT COMPACT CAR OF THE YEAR: Volkswagen Golf GTI
Finalists: Ford Mustang – Hyundai Veloster N
"In 2019, the Volkswagen Golf GTI has become an exception in the industry, a rarity. Why? Because it still offers that engaging driving experience, one that doesn’t involve feeling like there’s a computer running everything."
- Daniel Rufiange, Auto123
"At the wheel, you guessed, the pleasure is constant. It starts with a surfeit of raw power, courtesy the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that makes 230 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The tight steering responds instantly and is always confidence-inspiring. Overall, there’s a near-perfect symbiosis between driver and machine, delivered on a silver platter."
