Powered by a 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged four-cylinder engine we know pretty well from the Audi side of the business, the new 2010 Volkswagen GTI boasts about 207 horsepower. More impressive yet is the tide of torque that lends great flexibility to the car. With a torque plateau of 206 pound-feet from just 1,700 rpm, the 2.0-liter four pulls strongly throughout its operating range. We know, we've already driven it. When this inline-4 is spun to its 6200-rpm redline, the GTI will charge to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, and top out just a fraction short of 150 mph, says Volkswagen.</SPAN>
Facilitating this surprising turn of speed is a slick-shifting manual six-speed or the optional twin-clutch DSG transmission that acts either as a fully automatic system for urban slogs or as a lightning-fast sequential shifter triggered manually by paddles flanking the steering wheel.</SPAN>
Either way, the GTI is a blast to drive. VW's clever suspension geometries are abetted by a limited-slip differential mechanism called XDS, which uses ABS mechanisms to detect slip, and to restrain the offending wheel. So torque steer is pretty much absent from the car's repertoire, and its handling feels more like an all-wheel-drive vehicle rather than a high-output front-driver.</SPAN>
