An Electric Volkswagen Golf GTI Is on the Way - Hagerty Media

"While we don’t know how Schäfer defines “a true GTI,” the report adds that the electric GTI will remain front-wheel-drive."

"The ID.2 will be the tip of the electric hot hatch iceberg. Beyond the Golf GTI, the portfolio will ultimately grow to include an electric successor to the Golf R that will retain the current car’s all-wheel-drive layout."

"Auto Express adds that Volkswagen will continue to update the current, eighth-generation Golf through the end of the decade. There’s no word yet on whether that means the current GTI will live on until 2030."

Annoying, but apparently common VW Golf rattling sound.

This video isn't mine, but it demonstrates the same noise my 2017 Golf Alltrack has been making for a while now. Other users on Reddit are commenting to say that they hear the same noise from their Golf. So far, no one there has come up with a reason or a remedy, so I'm cross posting here for a little more visibility.

To describe it in words, it is a brief rattling sound that inconsistently occurs at low speed and low engine RPMs.

Cut down a Christmas tree today.

Not mentioned in the original post, but this is my 2017 Golf Alltrack. It's a very capable family vehicle.

Cut down a Christmas tree today.

I'm happy to report that what little I possess in the way of #shibari skills was sufficient for the tree to safely make the long ride home (on the highway).
