    I own a 35TH Anniversary GLI and I also owned a 2015 GTI and I totally agree with everything said here. While I love the GLI, the GTI and it’s playful nature is something i miss dearly. Although I miss the GTI, the GLI is the better daily driver for the money. I can fit 4-5 people comfortably without moving my seat forward. I can also fit all my stuff in the trunk with some space left over, which were major issues for me as I got older. If you want the best “do-it-all” car, get a GLI. If you want a seriously fun daily driver and do not need any passenger/cargo room, GTI all day long. Great review!!!

    Love my 35th Anniversary Jetta with that wonderful 6 speed manual however I did nearly get the Rabbit Edition GTI for the lighter weight but that much lower price ended up winning. Not at all unhappy with my choice as I have already been leasing an Mk7 S trim manual Jetta from last summer when they first came out and have really been enjoying that one as well. Now handed down to my oldest son to learn manual on and he is now loving it. So yes very impressed with my GLI and funny fact it has about the same performance as my first car a 1969 Mustang coup with a 351w V8. Great car and surprising performance for the price. The only other car I was considering was the Veloster N but no was was giving discounts when I was shopping a few months back. Great review as always guys!

    I have a GLI and I think it's a great small sport sedan yes it can be a bit better on the inside but keep in mind the price point . If it was to expensive people would get a audi a 4 . The GLI will always b in the GTI'S shadow but that's a good thing is a good hach, when I got my car the SI and the elantra sport and I took a look at the Subaru WRX They were all good cars but I liked the GLI for its confer and sporty attitude. The si was not offered in automatic transmission and the WRX was just to hard and beat you up all the time and did not like the elantra. Motor was good automatic transmission was ok but just not in to the new look . Thanks guys keep up with the good work

At said miles the PCV system failed along with the intake manifold and rear main seal causing a difficult to diagnose vacuum leak. Pretty big repair bill but it's been 100% reliable ever since. With an APR ECU and DSG tune it goes like stink. Not too bad for a 10 year old car.

    A lot depends on what you are wanting. It is inevitable that people would compare the cars but they really are more complementary than in competition. Most folks looking for a hot hatch wouldn't be interested in the GLI because, well, it's a sedan. Likewise someone looking for a sedan (like I was) should really look at the GLI. Really, if you think about it, for the cost of a 35th Anniversary Edition (which I paid 25K for out the door-that TTL included) I could have maybe gotten a Fusion SE, a mid range Malibu or a Accord Sport. All of those cars are fine but compared to a GLI they are not nearly the performance car that the GLI is. The GTI is the bar to be set for hot hatches and will be for the near future, but the GLI isn't a hot hatch.

    It's not quite fair to say it's $9k more expensive if you compare a top trim model to a base model. For instance, the Mazda3 has a $10k price different between the base sedan and the top trim hatchback.

  • @SDav21

    A hatch is more practical though. You can put larger things in the boot because the opening is wider. It then has more utility space. Also, the Jetta you can see has some cheap finishings and missing attention to detail like the GTI. The GTI seems more built the European way and the Jetta seems built the American way.

    They are comparing a 35th Anniversary GLI with an Authobahn spec GTI. Specs and pricewise the 35th GLI compares better with the Rabbit GTI. Even when comparing Autobahn GLI/GTI the GTI still has more equipment, like the DCC adaptive chassis control, it's not available on the GLI. Edit: DCC is on the 35th AE GLI but not available on the GLI Autobahn. The GTI SE has DCC available as an option, and is closer in price to the 35th AE (at least in the U.S.)

    In Canada we paid around $30,000 for both our base 3 door 2016 GTI manual and our loaded 2019 "35 Edition" Finish is better in the GTI but good value in the GLI. Gripes are the rev hang in the 2019, it is HORRIBLE!, no height adjustment in the passenger seat and a skinny, weak stick holding up the hood as opposed to the hydraulic strut in the GTI, apart from that it is a fast, competent highway machine.

    The perfect choice would be VW bringing back the Jetta Wagon with desirable 2.0T engine and a manual tranny option... The new Golf Sport/Alltrack Wagens are neutered disappointment. I've owned both a Jetta and GTI of the same generation... The Jetta was more practical for passenger hauling and grocery runs, but the GTI definitely had the cool/fun factor. After owning both my ideal choice would have been a Jetta Wagon, because it's even more practical than both but still has a really unique cool factor about it.

    When doing comparisons on speed, never use manuals because it's not accurate. Either use the automatics or go by the brochure and be done with it. I was expecting to actually find out which one was faster. The GTI is supposedly faster by like a mere fraction of a second if we're going to use this video as a reference.

    The reason theres a 9k price difference is cause your comparing a basemodel/35th gli too the top of the line gti. Okay maybe its not the autobahn but its either that or the top one. If the gli was an autobahn itd be about 31-34k which is a 2-5k dufference which makes perfect sense as the gti uses slightly higher quality materials like more softtouch around the interior. I think the gti is slightly over priced because vw knows people will pay. When lots of people want something demand goes up. The gli is not as popular and they just want too get the sales so theres no manufacturer markup. Also gtis have more parts made outaide of mexico making transport more expensive
