2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition 6 Speed Manual Transmission Sharp looking car, not too big but not too small. Lots of tech and features. Drives very well and is very responsive. Plenty of power. Wish it had a moonroof and leatherette interior but purchase price was under $30k and the 40th Anniversary Edition Model is very specific and a lesser model than the Autobahn Model priced in the low to mid $30k range. Have not had a chance to take on a long road trip but around town and city driving mpg does not seem great but probably in part to my lead foot. Love the different drive modes and can feel the difference in them while driving. Radio and sound system is good but not the best. Overall satisfied with the VW Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition. Would recommend vehicle to others looking for $30k and under sedan with some sportiness and distinction. The 2.0 liter 228 horsepower turbocharged engine puts out plenty of power to make it an enjoyable sedan vehicle.

I’m 50 years old and I’m in love like the first time... Beautiful car. A pleasure to drive. A lot more comfortable than the GTI.

Drove 130 miles to pick it up without test driving my car and took about 15 minutes to fill out the paper work. Great car for the money not the most luxurious interior but I like them that way and in sport mode the car will get up and go. Manual transmission is easy to get use to and is pretty snappy.

We love the response of the car with it's manual transmission. It's a beautiful car - the dark grey with red highlights.
