Bought this car around the time this review came out. From first hand experience, I can say it’s a really good driving experience. Not crazy fast, but I keep up with my buddies with their WRX, 350Z and 370Z’s. When I wanna be comfortable, it drives super comfy. When I wanna go a little nuts, it lets me go a little nuts. Only complaint is the lack of grip. It runs 225’s, so when it rains, your tires are pretty much guaranteed to spin off a normal stop light start. Despite that, I absolutely love the car. Getting a cat back exhaust for it as it is a bit on the quiet side, so I really can’t wait to drive her even more :)

This is the second review of the GLI DSG I've seen that notes the fact that the transmission automatically upshifts when set in manual mode. If that's the case it's quite different from the behavior of the same transmission in the GTI. I initially believed it was a failure on the part of the reviewer to engage manual mode properly. Now I'm not so sure. Here's the way the DSG works in my GTI. (1) Move the console shift to the right. That locks the transmission in manual (i.e Tiptronic) mode. (2) Select the desired gear with either the paddles or the console shifter (forward for upshift, backward for downshift.) Following that procedure the transmission stays in the selected gear all the way to redline. No automatic upshifts. While in manual mode the transmission will automatically downshift to second gear as one slows to a stop, first to second gear at about 5 mph and then to first gear as the car comes to a stop. Otherwise, however, the car remains in the selected gear regardless of throttle position and acceleration. It is possible to select manual mode temporarily by use of the paddles alone without moving the console shift to the right. If the transmission is in "auto" mode and either of the paddles is used the transmission changes to manual mode and can be controlled by the paddles for a short time. However, the car will revert to "auto" mode and automatically upshift after a few moments. Is it possible that was the procedure you guys followed? In addition to the possible difference between the GLI and GTI there's one other possibility. My GTI is a 2018 model with the six speed DSG. I haven't seen any reviews of the 2019 GTI with the seven speed DSG that mentioned any automatic shifts but I suppose it's possible the reviewers missed the behavior. In any event if the DSG behavior in the GLI is as you describe it, it's a big disappointment. And assuming it doesn't apply to the GTI, it's a significant difference between the vehicles despite supposedly having the same engines and drive trains. EDIT: Did some further checking with my local VW dealer and more importantly with my local APR tuning shop, Achtuning, who perform more tunes on VW's than just about anyone in the country. As I suspected, there's no difference between the DSG transmission tuning in the GTI and GLI. Furthermore, if the transmission is put in Tiptronic mode with the console shifter it will hold a selected gear up to redline. At that point it will upshift but not before.

I've been waiting for this review from you guys forever! thank you!!!!

Best VW wheels are hands down the 19" Pretorias, the optional upgrade on the DCC equipped Mk7 R's.

Hey guys, I just bought a 2021 manual GLI and am picking it up tomorrow morning! I test drove both the Civic SI and the Elantra N-Line, and honestly, GLI was more fun to drive, more loaded for the price and much faster than both of them! It was a no brainer to buy it over both! And with bargain, I got it brand new for $28,889. And now it comes only in one trim, the autobahn fully loaded! And wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay

I got a 2020 GLI Autobahn about a month ago, white with black trim edition. And it's perfect so far. The color and trim are unique and no others around. I'd absolutely splurge for the Autobahn edition any day, based on the extras. Sure, some of the interior plastics are a bit cheap, but nothing I care about is sub-par. Drives like a dream and I love the digital cockpit and ambient lighting. All the classy features are there. So far, I simply love this car. I traded in my Kia Stinger and I like this way more, FWIW. Other than some of those interior things, the drive and feel are much more refined.

@@edwardkondek2548 That may be true, but the handling was washy and unrefined, and that’s what matters more to me as a Golf owner anyway. The boring interior and boring drive and general unspecialness of the Arteon was what made me think of the Passat. It was peppy enough, but not that much more peppy than a Passat (a non-GT one at that). The interior was also not nearly as good as that in the Stinger, except I would take the Arteon infotainment (or any VW/Audi infotainment for that matter) over the Kia/Hyundai infotainment in the Stinger. Maybe the Arteon could compete performance-wise with the four-cylinder Stinger but a twin-turbo V6 Stinger GT would leave that thing in the dust. The Arteon doesn’t have a V6 because it’s not supposed to be a sports car. Frankly, it doesn’t know what it wants to be, and that was clear from driving it. To be clear I’ve not driven a Stinger, but I’ve sat in a bunch. The Stinger is just a more special car in my opinion, not only because it’s a halo car for Kia but also because the Arteon is so aggressively not special. The Arteon has infotainment and brand heritage over the Stinger, but the Stinger (from what I hear) handles and accelerates better, has a better interior, and will definitely continue to sell better. As far as looks, they’re both drop dead gorgeous though.

@rockn roll The materials definitely felt better than in the Arteon SEL that I drove. I wasn't a huge fan of the stuck-on screen in the Stinger and I think VW infotainment is generally better, especially since they moved the climate vents below the screen like in the new GLI. The climate vents, climate controls, speakers, and gauge cluster screen, and steering wheel were all really nice in the Stinger. But I think the big issue was that the Stinger felt like something way better than your average Kia, while the Arteon was just boring old Volkswagen on the inside. Nothing wrong with the Arteon's interior, but just felt like they phoned it in and cloned the Passat or Tiguan interior rather than making it look just as cool inside as it does outside (which is the case with the Stinger)

In the city, your mpg will depend on how heavy your right foot is. I get anywhere from 20 mpg to 27 mpg in the city. But I just averaged about 39 mpg on a 300 mile trip to my in-laws (37 on the way there and 41 back). VW quotes 32 mpg on the highway, so I never expected to get closer to 40.

I can’t believe you didn’t get a manual. I have a US 35th (only version with DCC) and I love it. Yes, more comfy and better ride than the GTI, but that is why I bought it. Some of us don’t need a race car go cart 100% of the time. This is a great compromise and is still fun to drive. And a bargain!

@@historymjh I've long believed that someone at VW Canada has embarrassing photos of German VW executives. That would account for the different trim features available in Canada and the US. :) The difference between US and Canadian spec GTI's have historically followed the same pattern though to a lesser degree. In the case of the GLI I think VW has decided that their future in the US lies with the Jetta rather than the Golf. VW has found time after time that US consumers shy away from European spec models n favor of larger, cheaper vehicles. (e.g Euro Passat vs US Passat; Euro Tiguan vs US Tiguan; Touareg vs Atlas) VW has elected to drop the base Golf in 2020 in the US while the Jetta line-up has been extended to include the GLI. The Jetta is no longer even sold in Germany. There won't be a 2020 GTI or Golf R in the US either but that follows a pattern VW has employed in the past when the GTI and Golf R move from one generation to the next. (There was no 2014 GTI after the MK6 production ceased in Germany in 2013.) VW assures us that there will be an eighth generation GTI and Golf R for the US but unless each model retains its iconic status I suspect even that decision might be revisited in the next couple of years. Those of us who love GTI's and Golf R's are keeping our fingers crossed.

@@BeesonsCars you can get it with AWD and the power is upped to 400HP which is pretty insane for a car in that class.. 0-60 time has also been reported at under 5 seconds.

Is this VW Jetta GLI as reliable as a Mazda 3. Mazda 6 or Mazda Miata? I want a fun driving reliable car that I can keep and enjoy for 10+ years.

I like the new straight pipes T-shirt with the sun visor on it.

"The cheap shifters have the right amount of cheapness". I understand and wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Cars built to a price point need to display the right amount of cheapness across the board to succeed. This car makes that very evident. It works because everything is less than a better car. Not any single component is a letdown. Except maybe the passenger visor. I'm actually surprised you didn't rip it off during your test.

My FoST does the same for the Visor Test!!! Why, Ford?!

Fastest FWD sedan has to be the 3500S toyota Aurion, 333 horsepower from a 3.5L supercharged v6?

From my quick googling, that Aurion does 0-60 MPH (0-100 KMH) in 6.1 seconds, while modern V6 FWD sedans are closer to the 5.5 second area. C/D tested the Maxima at 5.8 seconds, V6 Camry at 5.8 seconds. The fastest is probably something like the 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4, which did 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. Then again, maybe they meant top speed comparisons, which are often electronically limited.

Intercepting Fist Stage 1 doesn’t void warranty. Lots of VW dealerships are actually selling the vehicles stock with the tune already included..

I have a 2014 vw passat vr6 SE, which has a handbrake, is on coilovers, pirelli p7 summer tires, with a mid muffler delete, it's honestly quite fast as of now. I timed the zero to sixty on my phone and average out 5.5 seconds and the solowerks coils give it good handling honestly. I did a handbrake turn a few times and the car handles it.

As someone with a mk6 Jetta SE 1.8tsi which is basically a baby gli I gotta say I’m a fan of the mk7 gli now but I will always prefer the gti the gli is a great first car for an enthusiast and it’s a great budget performance sedan but I love hatchbacks so yeah

Fun fact: the US Navy measures distances on certain displays in *kiloyards.* I wish I was joking. Audi's DSG has the exact same issue with up-shifts, btw: too early and mandatory.

Those GTI wheels are officially called the "Detroit" but I like to call them the "Potato Peelers" They are some of the coolest wheels ever.

Teddy Knapp You are completely right, sir! I got those on my Rabbit, and then I got the MK6 TDi and put the 19 inch alloy wheels that come with the Golf R 2016 on it....and that made a Huge difference in the ride and handling. I added a set of Michelin Pilot Soprt 4S and the set was complete: I did over 20k with those tires, which are a MUST have, (235-35-19), and they're still good for another 20K km or even more (45-50k as stated by Michelin!). NB: tire rotation is key when it comes to tire longevity! Amen

@@iamtheteddy24 you are right, the MK6 GTI wheels are named "Detroit" (18", black inlays). Similar to MK5 GTI wheels that were called "Huffs" (18", grey inlays). The "Potato Peelers" however, are the OEM wheels found on most Audis such as Q5, S4 and some others. Typically 19" or 20".
