As a 2012 GLI owner, I might be a little biased but these cars are very great for the value they bring. Yeah they're not as reliable as Hondas, (trust me I know lol. my whole family drives Honda's except me. I wanted to try something different.) but as long as you don't problems linger for too long they will never let you down. Improper maintenance is what kills these cars for the most part. Also random thing I wanna add, I got my car in 2019. I actually got my car because I really liked my dad's 2018 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T and performance wise they were very similar. I definitely didn't have Accord Sport money but the GLI definitely fit my budget and the rest is history. My only advice though is if you do buy this car, be prepared for any problems that may arise, don't let the problem persists too long. My car had a few problems before I bought it that I knew nothing about. Luckily I still had a lot of money saved that I could afford the repairs but looking back I wish I saw those problems first and maybe I would've gotten a different one without the same issues.

The only thing is that it took me a while to realize the car was super fast, but lacked the AWD. That’s where the R golf comes in. Went to buy one late 2021….. couldn’t find one at any dealers, so I went to a WRX. The only standard, AWD available under the circumstances. SUCKS!!! VW standard transmissions still blow them out of the water. Actually, everything VW/Audi blows them out of the water….. KEEP STANDARDS ALIVE with Audi/VW!

If I was tracking my car every other weekend I would absolutely address the brakes, but I don’t. So, the OEM system works fine for me…for now. I see lots of options when searching online. Check out some of the forums and see what they say. There are also several MK7 GLI Facebook groups where you can ask folks about brakes and just about any other topic.

Mars Red, Atlas Grey and Black (Sedan only) with interior 46 Black Leatherette with Grey Velour. or Alpine white and Diamond Silver with interior 47 Blue Leatherette with Grey Velour. Only 1800 were built, 493 of them Canadian 2 doors. 5 of them use for the 1984 North American Auto show, all were 2 doors but coded as American 4 doors and hell 1000 units before given Vin numbers. 2x Alpine White x1 Diamond Silver 1x Mars Red and 1x Atlas Grey. James R Fuller was put in place f VW of America in 1980s. He was placed head of Porsche and Audi then in 82 VW, where he brought us the GTI and GLI. He was what saved VW in America, many dealerships were about to close.

Looks like they put 2 USB-C ports inside the center armrest storage area. Located on the inside-back-upper portion of the storage area. And notches in the side for your phone charging cable to pass-through. I like this idea because it protects the plug-end of your cable from getting kicked or bent-like it would be if the ports were located in the legacy location. Also, having it hidden in the center armrest, this lessens the chance of back seat passengers from getting spilt drinks and Twinkie crumbs ruining the USB-C port. Obviously it would shorten your charge cable a little-just use a longer cable…and don’t pull on it when it’s plugged in. Someone probably makes a right-angle USB-C plug. That would be a good cable T for this location.

@naodwalk3 жыл бұрын
Such a thing isn't even theoretically possible. Every decision made has a trade off: More power or better MPG? More space/utility or easier to maneuver/park? The key is to find the vehicle that fits one's needs given their current lifestyle. That's what makes cars like the Si and GLI so good for me--I'm old enough to need the practicality of a sedan which gets good MPG and is easy to live with on the daily, but I still like to have a little fun. The new Si gets over 40MPG, but the GLI has more power and comes with an automatic transmission. Some may value better MPG for their long commutes, others may rarely drive and would prefer more power. Some may prefer shifting their own gears, but others value the practicality and ease of use of an automatic. Determining which car to get all comes down to balancing an ever-evolving list of wants and needs.

@@thefifthbelfry92 True but VW, also underrates their cars power too, and a simple flesh can reveal a lot more, just be careful of the clutch.. Civic is way cheaper, requires less maintenance, and cheaper maintenance, and Honda is not as bad as VW and refusing warranty work, if you cannot prove oil changes and maintenance schedule. Resale is also greater on the Honda, and MPG. So it's all what you want.

@@Tigerex966 I wouldn't say the Civic is "way cheaper". It's 2023 and I can't find an Si for under $30k

@@kevinnorris6558 a few thousand sorry But you miss some good features in return and of course the civic is slower in a straight line. Probably not much on a long curvy track though. Reverse side is many say they regularly get in the 49 mpg on the hiway and maintenance is very low cost. Tins of low cost mods. Resale is high and Honda is not so easy to deny warranty work after simple mods.

Shame they cheaped out on the GLI after 2016. Went to the larger platform but nerfed quite a bit of the goodness. (No foglamps, and no cornering lights to name a few)

Honda Civic Si for sure. Although, I’m not too sure about the 2022 release because of all the features Canada was given that are missing here in America

I thought they changed the front end up a little bit, the press photos showed a slightly bigger grille with polygon shaped openings in the bottom corners of the front fascia.

The GLI is such a nice looking car, I hate that it doesn't sell as much as it should. I think VW should make it a wagon. A GLI/GTI with more space.

Love the exhaust sound! I'm still driving my 2005 Jetta 2.5L and it has been a great car and still fun to drive since I added a Becker exhaust last August to replace the OEM exhaust.
