Good Housekeeping is apparently doing car of the year tests, and it turns out that they have pretty good taste, as this year’s winner for compact car of the year is the Golf GTI.
The housekeeping magazine enlisted the help of Car and Driver to assist its in house engineers in deciding which of the hundred cars they started with was best. They then winnowed the competition down to just 25 cars and chose which of those was best in seven categories.
The testers were, of course, impressed by the GTI’s performance and handling, but also by its utility.
“GH’s engineers have never tested a more practical compact,” said Good Housekeeping. “The Golf won on combined miles per gallon and also got top marks for visibility, a sleek but roomy interior and a tight suspension that helped it hug the road, even going over bumps.”
The GTI is in good company, too. With winners in other categories, like the BMW M240i and the Audi A4, the people at Good Housekeeping might just have a knack for this.
“We are extremely proud that Good Housekeeping magazine has honored the Golf GTI with the 2017 Best New Car Award,” said Hendrik Muth, Senior VP, Product Marketing & Strategy. “The Golf GTI packs incredible value. Its combination of power, design, space, connectivity, and fun-to-drive nature represents the best of what Volkswagen has to offer.”
