Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW 2 Series
- Looks stunning and more expensive than it is
- 18-inch wheels turn heads
- Cabin quality is excellent
- The 2.0-litre diesel is refined and peppy
- Ride quality is comfortable
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

BMW 2 Series
- Rear seat space is average
- 18-inch wheels wrapped in low profile rubber are not ideal for out pothole rich roads
- Priced too close to the 3 Series, a larger and more fun sedan
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
