The VW Golf GTI is the benchmark hot hatch — and the latest MK7 version is better than ever. But how does the new 2013 GTI fare against its latest rivals from Germany: the BMW M135i and Mercedes A45 AMG? Both are more powerful, more exotic and, yes, more expensive. Can they really beat the Golf at its own game? Find out in our group test video review then click the links for our full reviews of each car.

bmw and mercedes are premium brands and both are above VW. but as always, BMW is way better that mercedes.
By the time you spec the Golf to match the BMW, they're very similar in price, and after testing both today, the BMW wins hands down for sheer performance. However, the Golf is much more practical if you have a family. The A45 is just far roo expensive for the class it sits in.
What boggles my mind is someone who does reviews on cars can say that a VW is Better build than a Mercedes… I see hi has a GTI at home…
Mercedes A45 is the best bmw and vw is for poor mans. LOVE MERCEDES.
At the end of the day your still paying £25,000 for a Golf, or £32,000 for an M-Sport not an M-Series. At least when you buy the Mercedes you still get the honour of an AMG badge! Plus its complete break-through for Mercedes to make the worlds first Hyper-hatch, its set the new bench-mark and every car manufacturer is going to try to beat it!
why the GTI and not the R? :/ you compare a 230 Bhp car to a 355bhp car.
It's strange how VW, BMW, and Mercedes are priced elsewhere… In Australia a fully spec'd Gti is around $55k, M135i $84k and A45 $87k… The A45 is very well priced, compared to the non-m BMW which is actually very expensive, while the gti is actually alot cheaper than both compared to the UK.
I don't know why everyone's issues are price here, yes the AMG is expensive and it's a premium bit of kit! They are hand built engines and not to mention they build engines for Zonda so they aren't going to sell their cars for £25k. Bearing in mind a VW R with similar spec costs upwards of £36k. I don't know. It's still a golf, new R will have 270bhp and awd. So what would you go for now?? As for the BMW I think it's a a difference in taste. If you want 5 door, big boot, reasonable mpg with a host of safety features and all weather capability it's AMG. RWD go round corners sideways, 2 door coupe esque car it's the BMW. But then you have the new 4 series for that! So the AMG IMO wins here 🙂
what's wrong they put GTI here…? they r simply just not the same thing!
wtf no one in the comments can spell corretly… boneheads
Couldn't you get a faster Volkswagen?
£51,000 for a BABY MERC
What were they thinking.
Rather buy a Mercedes C63 AMG for that price.
BMW definitely the best car.
great reviews
You have not compared like for like. Spec them the same and there is not much difference. I know as I have bought one of them!
Wrong choice. Try Golf R.
I want to see the cars not your stupid face !!
surely the test should have been between a250, 125i and the gti that would have been amore fair comparison
how can you compare a 200 bhp car to a 355bhp car?? that's like Tyson vs where's wally!
I love the VW but RWD is the best all the way
And the MERC is big fail with this price
shitty review
What a ridiculous line-up!!!! Choose cars that at least compete in the same price range ffs. What imbecile decided on this?
Comparing the golf r against the other two would of been more comparable
Should stick to reviewing washing machines.
