"We&amp;#039;d be remiss to not include a on this list, as Germany&amp;#039;s largest auto manufacturer has been a staple on campus parking lots for decades. And with a base price of only $22,800, the \u2014 available in 3-door or 5-door hatchback configurations \u2014 makes the grade, thanks to its clean lines, potent engine and high-end luxury features.   The Teutonic-tuned suspension and large, capable, bright-red brake calipers (you&amp;#039;ve got to have plenty of stopping power when you&amp;#039;re cruising at high speed on the Autobahn) compliment the potent 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine well. The company describes its GTI as &amp;quot;the original hot hatch&amp;quot; and we agree; with 200 horsepower and an even more plentiful 207 lb.-ft. of torque on tap, R&amp;amp;amp;T tests hit 0-60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. Fuel economy of 21 mpg city and 29 highway (manual transmission) is just the icing on this fast-moving cake.   Want more? Go upscale. Items including the very trick, twin-clutch DSG 6-speed transmission (allows very quick, driver-selected gear changes; $1075), the autobahn package (heated front sport seats, heated headlight washer nozzles, power sunroof and premium audio; $3020), a choice of 15 (yes, one-five) different wheel packages ($750 to $1788), a body kit ($1650) and a DVD-based navigation system ($1800) allow you to go big-time in a big way.
