When the Golf GTI was first launched in 1976, Volkswagen wondered whether it would struggle to sell an early production run of 5,000 vehicles. Today, well over two million sales later, the issue is not whether this car will sell but who will buy it. After all, in recent generations, this model has mainly sold to folk who, if they were honest, would probably admit to having out-grown the shopping rocket genre it originally created.
These people will really like the revised version of this eighth generation car. It needed to return a little to its roots - and add an old fashioned dose of fun into the mature mix. It has.
