7. Volkswagen GTI

The Volkswagen GTI is likely the most popular German car for tuning. The GTI is favored for its low weight, great handling, and practical performance from the factory. The cost for the GTI isn’t too severe for a new one, and a used one can be found for a fair price. The low cost leaves plenty of money on the table for modifications. Turbochargers and engine upgrades are common, as well as handling upgrades like sway bars and shock replacements. When it comes to customizing the outside and inside of the GTI, there is a sea of aftermarket parts for the vehicle. Body kits, door modifications, wings, custom hoods, different gauges and seats. If you can think of something you want to change, there is probably a place you can get it.
