Just Bought One Last Week, So Far Really Like The Looks, Handles Very Well, The Stereo Could Have Been A Little Better, It's Ok. Heated Rear Seats Would Have Been Nice And The Door Trim Should Have Been The Same In The Front. I Am Retired So Mostly Be Only Me In The Car. I Have To Say I Do Really Like The Car. 😊

[@MattTheCarguy]

Congrats!

[@vroomgc]

I agree the stereo is not premium like this guy said, its on the weaker side. The tires it comes with are weak also so I will be swapping mine out in the spring and selling these Hankooks as quick as possible. Otherwise the car drives nice and has pretty good gas mileage and its fairly quick.

You don’t have to connect the cable to use Android Audio. Works Wireless.

[@MattTheCarguy]

@@steveblizz8201 it didnt want to connect on mine

[@ct3343]

Deciding between a white vs black GLI. At first glance I think the white GLI is nicer. What’s everyone think?

[@MattTheCarguy]

Both you need to keep clean but Black will show off more dirt IMO.

[@noahjad4314]

Great video!

[@MattTheCarguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnlockwood367]

I thought that Apple Car Play could be used wirelessly on this model.

[@UnhingedMemescomp]

Pretty sure this guys wrong, volkswagen lists it on their website

[@MattTheCarguy]

I dont have an Iphone so it may be wireless. Android Auto wasn't.

[@webertduperon6474]

ILOVE it it’s so cute ❤

[@MattTheCarguy]

@@webertduperon6474 great!

[@michaelbergschneider2446]

Great review. The car was dirty AF tho…

[@MattTheCarguy]

@@michaelbergschneider2446 i know man, they had a caw wash failure and since i only do it part time had to take the shot when i had a chance lol.

[@drfelipechaves]

no vents in back seats? Why VW??

[@MattTheCarguy]

That's a miss 🙁

[@Howzit808]

I love the looks except the red accents those won’t age well

[@MattTheCarguy]

Thats an easy fix if its the only thing you dont like about it.

[@Howzit808]

@ that’s a lot of car for the money!

[@BrentHann-d6e]

Same As The Front Door Trim, Excuse My Texting Should Have Been The Same In The Back.

[@MattTheCarguy]

100%

[@thetubeeleven11]

Add more red accents and it could be deemed the modern day Batmobile, especially with that massive red front accent! lol

[@MattTheCarguy]

Lol

[@terencemichel8972]

I want the manual !

[@MattTheCarguy]

It is available!

[@dwightmeissner797]

Can't believe you reviewed a dirty car!

[@MattTheCarguy]

Didnt affect the functionality. Truth is they had some issues with their car wash.

[@joecleary1395]

It's not powerful enough. They need to sell the Jetta R here as an option. Would compete with the WRX which is still a class by itself

[@vroomgc]

WRX and class do not go together lol

[@MattTheCarguy]

Depends on what you are looking for. I think it would compete with Civic type R.

[@gooeykev]

Seems like VW took inspiration from the 2024/25 Elantra N facelift

[@firehawk97]

Nah they would've had to have the CAD designs for supplier mold and machining quotes done years ago for this to make it in time for 2025MY. They would've had no idea what a "refreshed" Elantra looked like 2-3 years ago when they already finished their VW design. Look at the new ID7, and the "Golf R" 2025 facelift, they're making a brand-cohesive design

[@MattTheCarguy]

I think it looks better than the new Elantra.

[@vroomgc]

@@MattTheCarguy Side view its better but the Elantra has a better back end and sounds better and of course the EN is faster

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

lol … statistically it will be in the shop 2 months later. Logically speaking. Spock would say …

[@MattTheCarguy]

Lol

[@Wei_Kang5976]

Scottish?

[@MattTheCarguy]

The car?

[@Wei_Kang5976]

@ No, you. I hear a Scottish accent.
