We're going back to the VW well today with this two-door 2016 Volkswagen GTI.

Yes, it's a manual.


It has the Performance Package and Lighting Package and appears to be in mostly good shape, save a malfunctioning fog light and minor dents and dings. There are some other cosmetic issues, as well.

Mods are limited to an intercooler and rear quick alignment arms. There's also tints and a bunch of maintenance work has been done recently.

Click here to check out this Oklahoma-based ride with its 69,420 (giggle) miles. The ask is $16,500 or best offer.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I have to credit the owner... he made it his own. Having said that, he is either blind, tasteless or an enormous poser. Why pray tell would you take a Cayenne decal and put it ALLLLL THE WAY around a 2 door GTI?


    Just spell out "poser" instead of turbo. At least it would be a respectable advertisement as to the owner's character.

      VW GTi people think their cars all share "Porsche DNA" since Ferdinand Porsche was friends with Hitler and all.

    I loved driving all of the VWs I've owned however, like every stripper named Tiffany, none were reliable enough to keep.

      Though strippers named Mercedes are ironically quite reliable I've found.


  • 3-On-The-Tree Agreed that much for a turbo 4cyl. Maybe if it was a V8.
  • Tassos CARS MADE IN MAINLAND TAIWAN ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS. THAT IS WHY AMERICAN FROM BOTH THE REGRESSIVE AND PROGRESSIVE PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO PUT HUGE TARIFFS ON THEM. BIDEN BIPARTISANSHIP!
  • Ajla No. The US government is going to put a 103% tariff on Chinese cars literally tomorrow and will very likely put on a complete ban by the end of this session. Supporting tariffs is possibly the most bipartisan thing in Washington right now.
  • Turbo Is Black Magic It’s only around $4K high. Honestly save a couple bucks and go find one of these in one of the great silly colors… this thing takes itself too seriously.
  • Jeff71960 nice car... but a little on the bland side visually... i love my Mopars and would rather have a "high impact" paint color 👍️
