I believe there is no mechanical difference, it is just a stylistic feature.

What is the difference between standard golf and golf gti?

The short answer to your question is: Turbo. The GTI has a 1.8L turbocharger (for Mk4 and below) or a 2.0L for the Mk5 Golf. The turbocharger makes the engine significantly more powerful, but without more fuel consumption. So the GTI is more powerful than the other Golfs of same make (except the R32, which is a special model with a massive 3.2L engine). There are other differences between the standard Golf and the GTI, stuff like the GTI has stiffer suspension, lowered ride height, larger wheels, aerodynamic trim and spoilers, etc. All these are because the GTI is meant to be a performance Golf. My favourite feature is the retro red lining around the front grille of the Mk5 GTI. Note also that what we are calling the 'standard' Golf is in reality the rest of the Golf range, and we are comparing the rest of the range to the GTI. These vary from 1.4 to several diesel models up to the special-edition R32, which will definitely outdo the GTI in terms of performance.


Are all golf gti with a turbo?

no not all golf gti's have a turbo on the newer golf's it's the one's with a red i in gti that are turboed ok buddy If you are buying a brand new Golf GTI, you can request that the model that you will buy has a turbo in it or none. Of course by adding this feature increases the price of the unit. If you are buying a second hand Golf GTI, I suggest that you research car advertisings first and locate a used Golf GTI with a turbo (if that is what you desire), compare prices and values/condition, then grab it. This way, you will get the specification you want at the price you can afford.
