The VW Golf TSI is the standard model of the VW Golf, which comes with all of the performance abilities, style, and extra amenities shoppers have come to expect from this model. The VW Golf GTI takes many of those same features and amps them up for a sportier driving experience.

Additionally, the VW Golf GTI is available in three trim levels overall, so every shopper can easily find a VW Golf model that suits them.
