The new Sport trim with the manual transmission would be my choice.

I have a 2019 GLI 35th DSG and really like the car it has a good balance of power and handling and is a joy to drive constantly putting a big grin on my face .

Great review....feel you did an exemplary job in illustrating the various models...their features and/or offerings and most important....price point. I'm on the East Coast U.S. and purchased my '22 GLI in May and absolutely love the car. True German performance at a price that won't leave you bleeding....love, love, love : )

My wife just got the Base model this Sunday 7/10/2022, But to be honest, I Love it... Very comfortable drive and it respond better then it Looks. I absolutely Love it.

I live in Canada and waiting for my Pure Grey GLI that should be here mid-Sept., and boy am I excited.

Awesome review and VW did a great job on the update. Actually has me interesting in the GLI again with that price point.

Considering you get leather heated/ventilated seats, adaptive suspension and all the upgrades for the one price, it’s a really good deal. Amazing fun daily driver.

These are VERY hard to find in the USA! I guess I’ll wait till 2023😖 That leather is sexy!

The GLI you can use regular fuel yes, but the owners manual recommends premium, mainly for the full power but it does get better mpg on it as well. It is nice tho to have a peace of mind you can use regular

Great video

I have a 2021 Jetta SEL-P and its a great car....seems a lot larger than it is and it's good on gas....2 complaints the porous sunscreen is annoying and you can still feel the sun when closed....had to throw a tint on the sunroof and I wish there was an "auto hold"....all those blank spaces near the shifter they have room for it.

I love my SEL.. I know my car holds on a hill. You can flip the parking brake and it will hold and automatically release when you hit the gas at a stop light. But not the same thing, is it? Oh well.

Comfort has a sport? Interesting combo how’s that comfort Vw

I love my 2019 GLI S DSG a ton. I can commute comfortable and get great mpg, while occasionally doing some spirited driving and maybe a launch here and there. It has handled it so great. Plus I have the vw certified warranty on it, which extends the factory warranty to 7 year 84k miles

I might get this car or the Tao

Minor annoyances, seems like a lot of car for under 30k.

@@EverydayReviews2022 That's incorrect. If you look at the specification sheet of the GLI referring to the fuel requirement section, it states and I quote..."(Stated hp and torque figures achieved with premium unleaded)". To point out, the difference between regular and premium started to show more in the era of factory turbocharged vehicles. Most manufacturers don't make it clear or put forth the effort to make it hidden or be vague. Hence more often than not, internet car bloggers/vloggers doesn't pick up on that aspect which leads to neglect of information or giving the wrong information. The only manufacturer that doesn't do that is Mazda. They will tell you how much horsepower is expected from their turbo vehicles with regular and/or premium gas.
