    The poor man's Audi 4 that stands out from the crowd not only in looks but performance as well! That's where the German carmakers out shine their Japanese & American competitors. Plus at $29,000 what other car manufacturer gives you such a compelling & attractive package deal? Way to go Volkswagen, it's nice to see you getting your groove back! Keep up the great work!...Thank you also Joe for another great review!

    Just bought one yesterday. Six speed manual. Took it to a set of s-curves that we have locally and wow, this car handles very well. It has the DCC and apparently that must make a big difference as every car I have driven starts sliding at the speeds I was going, this car pulled even tighter into the corner and was asking for more. So far very happy with the purchase. Chose it over the Civic si and the WRX. Great price, performance, and classy balance.

    I drove one today and it reminded me of my "old" 2017 GTI with the same power and the grabby brakes but more comfortable and more spacious. The thing I disliked was the too short and too low arm rest, plus I wish that dual exhaust would sound like the GTI.

    There's much to like about the new GLI, chief among the features is the fact that it shares the platform, engine, and drive train with the GTI. Unfortunately, the GLI's trim levels in the US look like they were designed by throwing darts blindfolded at a target. Most bizarre is restricting"dynamic chassis control" to the limited edition "35" trim and not including it on the higher Autobahn level. It's especially puzzling given the fact that in Canada DCC is on the top trim "35" level rather than on the only other trim level, the "GLI."
    It makes no sense but I suspect the reason lies in supply chain issues in which components required for DCC are in short supply in Europe. Sufficient to cover the smaller Canadian market but insufficient for more than the limited 35th Anniversary edition in the US. I suspect that once the supply of the "35" vehicles is exhausted VW will straighten out the trim options and at least offer it as standard equipment on the highest Autobahn trim level.

      Interesting thoughts. I wasn't sure if they tried making the 35th a bit more of the race inspired version by keeping it light with no power seats, no sunroof, etc. and therefore put the DCC on it as well.
      Just guessing. Bought mine yesterday and love it!

    We had a 2014 VW Jetta SEL with the Fender Audio and all the bells and whistles.
    I bought it January 2018 with only 40K on the odometer as a commuter car since I drive 100 miles round trip each day for work and it had more oomph than our 2014 Honda Civic.
    It’s a maintenance nightmare. We’ve had two major problems. One with the turbo which had to be replaced and the other was the transmission. Both before 60K miles
    The gas gauge stopped reading correctly at 65K miles, there would be a high pitched noise from being connected to Bluetooth every Tuesday exactly the same time as the previous week.
    Sold the car December 2018. Bought a 2019 Civic Type R and I’m sure I won’t have a single issue for a long time.

    THAT RED SUPRA IN THE BACK! 😂😉❤✌ P.S.: This GLI is cool. Looks great in red with black and those black wheels are nice..those and the ones from the VW Golf MK7 R/T-Roc R those are my favorite factory VW wheel design. The car is cool, all it needs is an aftermarket exhaust. For a cool, sporty, real sound. And yes, the GLI badge on the steering wheel was much more cooler in red. It's a GLI...people need to see that.
    If VW would have made this car in colab with aftermarket companies for the wheels and the exhaust, maybe even Brembo for brakes that would have been fireee. I don't know, but I like when car brands colab with aftermarket companies, so you get cool tuning wheels, nice exhaust and sound system from factory all ready, no more money at tuning shops needed and you can customize your car, West Coast Customs from the dealer. :)) ✌ 🔥

    GLI Autobahn addresses some of the concerns here, including larger infotainment screen and power seat. But, I still cannot help but feel like the interior is still cheap. No rear vents for $29k or $31k (Autobahn) - Other cars will have that for that price point. Also, the hard plastic near the driver’s knee isn’t so great. Also, no reason why you can’t get Comfort mode on the Autobahn as well.

    Raiti, thanks for the awesome reviews. Love 'em. Question... your opinion... which is the better overall car between these two...
    2019 VW Jetta GLI vs 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT N-Line (w/ the upgraded tech pack). I know the 1st is a sedan and the 2nd is a hatch, but these are the two at the top on my consideration list. They are both in the $28K-$29K range. Thanks!

      Raiti's Rides In 1994 I bought a 1990 GLI with about 70k miles. It had full Recaro seats from the factory. It wasn't a very fast car, but it had the steering and driving feel similar to my STi and was very fun to drive. The Jetta did have many parts that needed to be replaced, VW quality wasn't great back then. The GLI was a rare Jetta, seeing one was like finding a unicorn. Mine was in near mint condition. When I finally put it up for sale, it sold in two days. I wish to this day that I never sold it. When I test drove the STi, it reminded me of how my GLI felt and that's one of the reasons why I bought it.
