I guess I don't fit the demographic you suggested... I'm 62 and just bought a 2023 GLI!!! Absolutely love it, and I agree with your assessment of the car. Another thing I agree with, It's really hard not to drive it in sport mode!!

I have this car and from what I can see in your road test you were not able to really step on it hard due to road conditions. I suggest you drive it again when winter is over and really drive it hard then I'm sure you will be impressed with it's power and handling performance. The GLI has a very good balance of performance and comfort making it a very capable sport sedan.

Yeah I would have loved to rip it during my driving test but the risk wasn't worth the reward in this case! if it does come up again in the summer I will absolutely drive it again. I was still able to feel a bit of the power and mixed with the ride comfort I think its top of its class for sure!

I love this car so much so I wrecked my first one and bought a second one lol. The first one the technician didn’t set it up right. They forgot to take out the pucks from the shipping. But yeah, this is literally the best sport sedan money can buy at this price point and it’s better than all of the Audis that are in the same general field. The interior is nicer than any Audi I’ve seen other than the RS line

That's not the first time I've heard of a GLI not properly being PDI'd, when we featured this back in 2019 we were hearing the same thing from customers.

What rear heated seats?

Going to take one of these for a test drive. I like the features, style and price point. How does the engine feel when you guys drive yours? Plus how does gas mileage perform for you and how much do you normally pay to fill your car where you are

@PRNTestDrive

7 ай бұрын

Fuel efficiency wasn't bad overall, and the engine is good for the size. Filling up will depend on your area, gas for example out here in St. Thomas where we film some of our content is sitting at $1.34/L, whereas in Mississauga it's $1.44/L, and in Montreal where this was filmed its more like $1.59/L right now. Could be about $50-60 to fill it up.

USDM doesn't have heated rear seats but Canada does, good to know... could likely retrofit them in if you get all the parts, assuming the BCM/whatever module controls those has the pin-outs for it on USDM cars. Not sure if any has dove into that for the US market. Funny that it has the button location for heated steering wheel but doesn't offer it like the Golf GTI and R do...

A 4matic version of this would be pretty cool, I'm surprised that VW hasn't done that but I figure the GTI to GLI sales are heavily favoured towards the Golf, and there's not much reason to do the same thing with the Jetta.

The reason the Jetta GLI doesn’t have 4Motion is because it would be too close of competition to the Audi sedan line up. I’m a VW salesman, and that’s what I’ve been told.
