2015 VW Golf GTI Wins First Cars.com/USA Today/Motorweek “Cheap Speed Challenge!”

Last month, just one month after hitting dealership lots across the United States, the all-new 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI was named the winner of the Cars.com’s first ever “Cheap Speed Challenge!” The challenge focused on compact coupes, sedans, and hatchbacks that cost less than $30,000 and features the different tech and convenience features that drivers expect out of a car these days!

Panelists included experts from Cars.com, USA Today, and MotorWeek, as well as a driver in the market for a new car. They tested eight different vehicles in a handful of categories to determine who would emerge victorious! Tests included zero-to-60 mph times, 60 mph to zero braking distances, 200 miles of driving on various road surfaces to test real-world fuel economy, professional road course testing on a closed track, and performance testing on a racetrack. Joe Wiesenfelder, Executive Editor of Cars.com, had this to say about the winning 2015 VW Golf GTI:

"Not only does the all-new 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI offer the best performance bang for the buck, it is also one of the most comfortable. The GTI outperformed most cars in just about every test we conducted. Also, unlike some of the other Cheap Speed competitors, the GTI offers an impressively roomy and high-quality interior in addition to being seriously fun-to-drive!"
