I have a '24 GLI in King's Red. I found the power to be excellent for a sporty daily driver. One thing that has to be mentioned is the amazing fuel economy, especially if you do a lot of highway driving. The vehicle absolutely sips gas if you drive reasonably, with short bursts of 'enthusiasm' 😅
The rear heat ac comes thru the feet area vents and the power is in the center console that has an opening on the side for the cord to come thru , he shows it in the video but doesnt seem to notice it, thats why there is an usbc port there its for the back people
Beautiful Car, I think it sounds fantastic. And I’m definitely digging the red color. I agree the refresh is very tasteful. Quite a good value, especially compared to the GLI👌🙏💯
The power for the back seat is in the middle console and has a small area to pass the cord thru for the back passengers as you actually showed but didnt notice ? in the video
Is the Civic Si for a few grand cheaper a better buy? The sweet honda Manual, good gas mileage etc So many choices.. plus the Elantra N.. way faster, good price, but less MPG's.
I look closely at the Civic Si, but bought the 2024 gli manual. The reasons were as follows: Jetta gli is faster, higher seating position. The Honda dealer I dealt gave me "the markup", and I bought the VW and I am glad. Only a few 2024 jetta manuals left and it does have have the large floating I pad that I don't like. The jetta manual is fun.
Thanks for getting ahold of and reviewing this 2025 VW Jetta GLI six speed manual.

Silvane911, NIce, congratulations on your purchase. Thanks for sharing your driving experience.
Yeah, actually the six speed manual gets better gas mileage than the DSG, which is not usual in this modern day of highly efficient automatics
@@MugatuJag Fun and fuel efficient, that's great!
I purchased a 2024 jetta gli (white), manual and it is great. For me it was manual or nothing.
vw manual is life
Buy the GLI, with the money you save (compared with the GTI tag price) add a catback and better tires amonst other things.
I actually love that they come with all seasons. I hate swapping tires in the winter and it’s a sporty commuter…for me…that’s the tire I would want.
Ya except the Hankooks are rated real poorly by various sources that do tire comparisons.
I test drive this exact model with a 6 speed manual…loved it! Biggest con: no rear ac/heat, no rear USB-c.
Biggest con, Direct Injection only. Those poor carbon crusty intake valves.
@ricktrue8441 especially if you're hypermiling. Need to rev it every once in a while...

THESE GLI are awesome I've got a 24 and just ordered a 25 ! VW KNOCKS IT OUT OF PARK AGAIN!

America is lucky to get the GLi it's not available in the uk
You’re lucky to get a million other hatches and wagons all we get is crossovers
Because you Brits loves your hatchbacks.
@@terrancemoore496 no we love our cheap pcp deals so we do.
@@devn3813 not exactly the Ford Explorer in your market available with 3.0L v6 twin turbo here in uk only available as an ev.
We also gets gobs of sunshine. 😊

Rev hang?
I really like that car!! Where in California?
Not sure I didn’t look there.
When you build this online in Red, it does not allow you to keep red when adding the black package. This hats up with that?
Yes it does
Thank you 🎉
I know there is no back center vent but aren’t there vents to the back under the front seats?
There aren't unfortunately.
i think there are
There are
I like that color because it hides the ugly red stripe. Can just remove side GLI badge. Why red stripe so big when GTI stripe is not.

hello, any comment between this and 2025 SI please
I look closely at the Civic Si, but bought the 2024 gli manual. The reasons were as follows: Jetta gli is faster, higher seating position.

I drove an SI but ended up buying a used Integra because I wanted a hatch. The cons for the GLI and WRX for me was no rev match.
Civic SI is 5K less, just saying......
