Is a GTI a good first car?
I’ve finally saved enough money and I’m getting ready to buy my first car. I found a 2016 Volkswagen GTI in my budget that I’ve been considering. Would this be a good option for a first car?

Congratulations on reaching your savings goal! A 2016
Volkswagen GTI
is a good option for your first car. 2016 was the first model year to include Carplay, which is a convenient feature to have if you like to play your own music, operate a navigation app, etc.The GTI is also a great option because it’s in your budget. Your first car is typically a learning experience, so going into debt for your first vehicle is rarely a good idea. Instead, opting for a car that’s in your price range is the safest financial option.
When you do buy a new car, you’ll also need insurance. Check out the
