2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Review | The Driver's Sedan

[@Coolmaninmotion]

I own a 2019 GLI which is basically the same as the 2021 except for minor tech differences. It is definitely a sleeper, very fun to drive. Faster than it looks. Aside from the lack of rear a/c vents, a small amount of in cabin noise (still not sure what it could be) and some cheap plastic interior pieces, the car is a solid and fun daily driver. I'm running an updated suspension with PS4 tires and light weight wheels, a stg 1 engine + DSG tune and upgraded catback, upgraded coil packs and spark plugs, turbo inlet. This car is now very smooth and faster.

Yeah, VW says they built into the Jetta GLI , underseat “ ducts “ for ventilation.. I prefer vents on that blank piece of plastic at the end of the console.

Great review thanks man! Excited to get mine this week

Fun car! Congrats!

11:52 the LED cluster was one of the reasons I went with the S model. I have an issue with migraines and headaches (drive with sunglasses at night) so I don't want that stuff. If I could get rid of the touch screen radio I would.

Vw gli is the best no argument

[@scorber23]

best bang for your buck! .. basically a baby Audi . I've driven this car many times and it is way more responsive and sporty than my buddies A4 .. this Gli is basically a S4 minus the Quattro. Get one.

[@kevs2good133]

Idk 349 hp from a 3.0 turbo v6 way different than a GLI lol. More like a mini A4

[@TheMlvswoll]

Picked up a 2020. Like it even more than imagine. I’m coming from a 2020 A3 Quattro. I loved the Audi look but at an athletic 235. It was a little small for me. I have more space, more safety, more tech, and ventilated seats in Louisiana summer is a big plus. I do miss the Quattro for taking off from a dead stop rapidly. Hopefully new tires will resolve the issue but the factory all seasons spin under quarter throttle with a stage 1 tune. They don’t hook for shit.

Awsome gages!!!

[@TheBrandon2814]

Remote start does not come standard on the 2021 GLI S.

[@MiceliCreations]

If you have the "S" model turn the ESC to sport and put the trans in sport. Much quicker.

[@MrJaminx2]

Gti with a Gli body. I had both. If I had a choice between which I like better i would pic a Gti. But you get a better deal with a Gli.

[@garofan9418]

So when are you reviewing the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder?

[@LC-js5xq]

Why would a person get a 2021 gli next month vw going to get a make over for the 2022 jetta

[@princedarkness8029]

It's not getting a makeover next year unfortunately

[@princedarkness8029]

Nope nevermind your right I thought since they just redesigned they wouldn't be doing anything

[@LC-js5xq]

@@princedarkness8029 a lot of people was complaining how cheap it was compared to the others this new jetta is going to have internet just like chevy

[@JoKIA_-100]

Is that a Jetta or 11th generation Civic?

[@gregholman2930]

Poor Man's Arteon!

[@ADHski]

much faster than

[@MiceliCreations]

Only an idiot would buy an Arteon. Way over-priced.

[@nauidiver4649]

Where are the fog lights? Mesh net to cover sun roof? Where's my Fender sound system? What's that fake "sport" sound? I don't want neon lights. I want more power. I want the emergency brake instead of pen holder. I'm gonna cry.

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

More Like a Chevrolet Malibu or Ford Fusion

[@Mr20001]

This is better than both of those...

[@rakhsiprayogo82]
