Feels like quality and looks the part. The GLI is very sporty and has plenty of power to get past those Sunday drivers on a Monday afternoon. Would definitely recommend!

Front wheel drive, awesome acceleration and a quick shifting transmission make this car amazing. The seats could be better in the S trim but that isn’t important when you are getting thrusted into the back of the seat at full throttle. Meanwhile the car is looking amazing with all of its well placed lines and the sweet hood that make it look sleek and sporty. When you aren’t enjoying the seat of the pants feel you can get around 34 mpgs on the highway while using your blind spot monitoring system to keep you safe on your trip. At night I can see so much further with the bright headlights and I can now see the deer on the side of the road. Instead of worrying about them just jumping out in front of me. Overall I don’t know why someone wouldn’t want this car it packs a punch in every category that I can think of and don’t get me started on the big trunk and all the seating space. 2/26/22: The car could be great. However the fuel line rattle that can’t be fixed is obnoxious. My door latch was freezing for the longest time. Causing the car to turn on the e-brake when coasting to a stop. Yeah that was a lot of fun. It took four applications of WD-40 to fix it. The threads are coming out of my drivers side seat cushion cover, again. The rear window defroster doesn’t get hot enough to melt ice all the way. The windshield wipers ice over whenever I’m driving because they don’t have a heat source. They rest below the front window defroster. The side view mirrors seem to catch every type of headlights behind you. Which directs it right back into your face. The rear e-brake is stuck on every morning making a loud pop noise when leaving. Under the front seats has a weird goo building up from the rear air vents under the seats. The performance of the car is great but everything else kinda adds up after a while.

Tall cups are an issue when you are shifting but not a deal killer. Lots of pep when the turbo kicks in. I have put 800 miles on mine an love it. Traded in a 2010 Jetta manual that was fun to drive.

Coming from the 2018 Jetta se. this car is a different beast. With all the bells and whistles you could want the car is responsive, has great handling, and can keep up with other cars. Now the steering is tight but I feel like it can be a bit over the top as the traction is not as good as an all-wheel drive car when going around hard turns at speed you can feel the car skip a little and that is reflected in the steering. Other than that the car is great.
