Within the sixth Golf generation, the GTI assumes the position of an independent, top sports car model. And so its standard features are already exclusive. Aboard the new Golf GTI, there are features that cannot be had on any other Golf model. They include top-notch sport seats in front with GTI-typical "Jacky" fabric covers, leather gearshift grip with aluminum trim, black accents ("Black Stripe"), leather sport steering wheel with GTI logo that is flatter at the bottom and a black roofliner. Identifying this Golf as a GTI on the exterior – besides the styling specifications – are details such as standard 17-inch alloy wheels ("Denver" type), red painted brake calipers, chrome tailpipes in the diffuser and smoked taillights. Furthermore, all GTIs come with stainless steel pedals, automatic climate control ("Climatronic"), front fog lights including turning light and ParkPilot.
