My Take: After all the bad lease rates, here’s a little sunshine through those dark clouds. The GTI’s lease rates are relatively reasonable this month, so it might not bad a bad idea to give them a look if you want a compact hatchback in your driveway. It did go up a little bit since November, but it is still a relatively good lease. I’ve always enjoyed the GTI and was originally looking into leasing one instead of the TSX we currently have. Unfortunately for VW, the TSX was too hard to give up, but I do love the GTI’s DSG transmission. It is smooth and responsive and a lot of fun to drive. Don’t forget the $500 loyalty cash available to existing VW customers.
