Click here to watch our first review on the Jetta GLI: • 2019 Volkswagen Jetta ...
With a starting price of under $26,000, the all-new Mk7 #VolkswagenGLI is one of the least expensive ways to get standard turbocharged power, a slick-shifting 6-speed manual, and nearly 260 lb-ft of torque. While the #JettaGLI is no stranger to the American market, in the past the #GLI had always been detuned compared to its #GTI sibling. For 2019, #Volkswagen has basically turned the GLI into a GTI sedan and for around $30,000, it represents a $7,000 discount compared to a comparable, GTI Autobahn.

I've had mine (GLI 35th Edition + Silver P) now for 2 months after coming off a previous GLI. this car is so much better than the old one in terms of the way it drives and performs. Its fast, very nimble and very planted on the road. I've owned every Jetta version since 1984 so I know these cars well. This one is the best! Door closes with a solid thud (compared to previous GLI), driver experience is outstanding and the car looks very modern. There are some things tho that makes this car feel cheapish including trunk arms impede, some interior plastics, there is no garage door opener, no rear seat vents. Small stuff tho - this car is a great value!

Are Jettas reliable?

[@scorber23]

pure performance. (with DCC)

[@luisjalvareztorres8481]

Gregg F I have a Jetta SE that I bought brand new back in 2013. I have had zero problems with it. It is a nice looking car, super comfortable and the mpg is exceptional. My car average 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg in the highway. Hart to beat. I would say though that regular maintenance on this car can be a little expensive some times when compare with a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry for example. Besides that everything else is great in my opinion. I’m seriously considering trading my SE for the 2020 Jetta GLI. This car looks good.

The Canadian Trims are so much better. Built in Navigation, Digital Cockpit Display, Sun Roof, 8" Touch Screen, and DCC (adaptive dampers with comfort mode) comes as standard in the Canadian spec Autobahn package, and it's priced at 32k CAD (24k USD). Want a GLI for a real value, Canada got the real deal.

I just got the 2020 VW Jetta GLI in Red yesterday. No joke, my first day driving it, I was parked in the mall parking lot, and this woman passed by and told me she thought my car was beautiful.

I picked up a 35th Anniversary a week ago. Right now, if you can find one, you can get one of these for under 23K (manual version). I actually stumbled on this car while looking at a Golf Sportswagen and once I drove the 6 speed version of this I was hooked on the car. For the price you can't beat it.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

Very interesting to go from considering a Sportwagen to buying a GLI, but I guess you really did not need a station wagon. I have a 2019 Sportwagen S that I specifically ordered to get the manual and the colors of interior and exterior I wanted. I prefer the practicality of a station wagon to a sedan, and the 40+ mpg on regular fuel is great. Anyway, enjoy your your VW...if I could afford two new cars it would be fun to have a Golf GTI, but I'm very happy with the Sportwagen.

[@tcofield1967]

@@rizzlerazzleuno4733 I had been leaning toward a sedan prior going to the VW dealership since my wife already has a Mazda CX-5. In the past we had a TDI Sportswagen and I was curious about what the new ones felt like. I liked it but really wanted a stick. Prior to that I was actually leaning toward a Ford Fusion Hybrid before to going to the dealership. When I mentioned that I was interested in something with a stick the dealer's eyes lit up and he pointed me in the direction of the GLI. Since it is late October and the only GLIs left were manual versions they were interested in selling the car and I got a good deal on the car. I am thoroughly enjoying the car.

I enjoyed the review. Thanks for making these awesome video reviews. Now I will make a point that you said two different things on shutting them door portion. On this video you mentioned it doesn’t really sound solid but yet on the previous MK7 GLI video review while on Tail of the Dragon, you said “now shutting the door, it sounds really solid, this is a German car...” so completely different.

[@theredline]

Thanks for noticing that. The white GLI from our first video was actually an Autobahn trim, the door panels are slightly different between the trims and perhaps the Autobahn has slightly more sound deadening materials than the GLI 35?

[@erk5000]

Redline Reviews thanks for the reply. I’d have to look into that myself. I’d imagine they would be created the same but it could also be different.

[@erk5000]

Redline Reviews the doors are exactly the same for the autobahn and 35th anniversary. Every time I shut my door, it definitely sounds solid.

[@ShiftyKen08]

Excellent video! I love Jettas and prefer it over the Golf simply because I kinda hate hatchbacks. The only thing about VWs that continue to slightly disappoint me is the intrusive bows on the inside of the trunk lid versus the multi-link (don't know what else to call it) setup on the Mk 5s. I had a Mk 5 Wolfsburg Edition Jetta and I never had to worry about really packing the trunk. Small gripe, I know, but the few times I really needed the space, it was there. Pack it and close it. Currently, I have a 2011 Accord V6 manual coupe and I love it. Except for the few times I had to rearrange the comments of the trunk because it has the same bows I mentioned earlier. Everything still fit, I just had to deal with the minor hassle of finagling the cargo. That said, I'd still buy one in a heartbeat! Great job, keep up the good work!

[@kadedone]

Disagree with the car being a better bargain than the Si because of hp ratings. Cars are more than just acceleration. I think the gli is a nice ride tho. Seating position is too high and it is heavier and not as sharp handling and dynamically enjoyable as the si. So even though it has more power I'd still go with the slightly slower but better driving Si. That's just my opinion, thanks for the review.

It’s nice, but I liked the Mk5 regular Jettas (mine was an 08 with a 2.5L In-line 5). Sure it had 40HP and 50FPTQ less, but they were so reliable and just sounded SO MUCH BETTER. it had 342,000 miles, ran like a clock, barely burned any oil, the rest of the maintenance I did myself. It’s still be running but a POS trucker ran me into a guard rail off the interstate. Let me say, the Mk5s were built like tanks and I owe my life to it. Mk6 and up have become less safe and more fragile.

Always wanted to own a VW ... especially Jetta, but so many have claimed they start to fall apart after a couple of years. That's fine for those that don't mind, but reliability pales compared to the "SI."

[@pezz_pezzer]

Tires, the kinda horrible Hancook all season tires that come on them stock are the main limiting factor for this car's performance. In fact if you look up the print periodicals review of the GLI from last summer one of them, forgot if it was C&D or R&T, they got their manual tester with the optional Hancook 320 treadwear summer tires to post a quicker time than the Golf Rabbit they tested. It was 0 to 60 in about 5.5 and the quarter mile in about 14.2 so pretty impressive for a value priced performance sedan. Pretty sure their tester was the 6 speed manual as well. I have had my Pure Grey 35th Anniversary edition for a little over 8 months with just under 14000 miles she has been amazing. However I did go with aftermarket 8 inch wide wheels wearing wider summer tires and it makes all the difference and very worth the upgrade. Oh and totally agreed on the overly quiet exhaust sound. I did modified mine for better sound byu deleting the mufflers and the resonator and installing a single glasspack instead. Also reprogrammed the ECU to turn off the sound speaker. Also agree with you about the Jetta GLI-R or Jetta-R as that would be amazing but sadly VW will never do it as it would be too performance competitive with the Audi A3 / S3 sadly. I wish they would and I do have fantasies about modifying mine with Golf R components and the Quattro AWD system. Just an excellent performance car for a great price and best in class interior. Highly recommended!

[@kevinnorwood7355]

While this is a really good buy what I don’t like is that you have to buy the Autobahn edition to get the sunroof and you lose the cool plaid interior. And as you said no fog lights. Have to add them sadly, Love that you can still get analog gauges these days.! I’d get the 35th anniversary edition just to get the analog gauges, and the cool plaid interior.

[@elnumerico8444]

I like the GLI Autobahn. The only thing besides the cheap looking interior that I do not like is that there are no front & rear parking sensors on the GLI Autobahn. I live in NYC and the parking situation is critical. I sometimes have to squeeze into small parking spaces and I would hate to ding up the awesome bumpers. I also, have a parking/ bumper guard that I keep in my trunk while I drive and after I park I put down so that others don't scuff up my bumpers. I think VW needs to offer parking sensors on the upper trim GLI's and I don't mind paying extra for them either.

Great review. Do you think you can also do a review of the 2020 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition? I have seen that you did a review of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra Limited just about a year or a few months ago.

Sofyan, the 35th anniv Canadian version has the digital cockpit amd the seats are leather

I have a 2019 Jetta S and I'm thinking about trading it in for one of these in the pure gray.This Jetta is very nice.

luvwutsnew you’ll loose like 10k lol

[@luvwutsnew401]

@@chocolatewheelchair I think you are right about that,that why I haven't done it yet but I want the gli badly after driving it.

[@chocolatewheelchair]

luvwutsnew i feel you man I wanted to trade out of my car but I owe way more than it’s worth. You have the awesome warranty they are ending on next year’s models,.. has your car been reliable?

[@luvwutsnew401]

@@chocolatewheelchair very reliable,no issues at all, hence me wanting another one but one that is faster and sportier.

What's a bit frustrating for me in this price range is the 0-60 time hasn't really changed much in 15 years. Still driving an '05 Ion Redline and none of these cars with exception of the WRX are faster. Whether the Civic SI, Focus ST, Velostar Spec whatever, the Soul X whatever, they all plod to 60mph in the 6's. Unless desiring creature comforts there hasn't been a reason to upgrade. When the time comes I'll probably get the WRX and call it a day.

Love your reviews man your are awesome keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍

[@dfk09]

The cost cutting with this car is shocking. No back seat vents or hood struts?! Heck, even my 2017 Golf Tsi has those. Wish I had that engine though...

[@shvkap]

The only thing holding me back is the IIHS safety rating. This thing didn't even come in as a top safety pick which is me just being nerdy but still

[@victorherrero4790]

Whixh would you choose!? Jetta GLI or Honda Accord Sport Touring 2.0T!?

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

Wait a minute, are the pads Brembo? Brembo doesn't make an ordinary two piece caliper in their line up.

[@charlesyoung9980]

Another solid review Sofyan. I would buy any car based on your review.

[@alfredotorres1013]

How’s the wind noise ?

[@golfbuddy1969]

Great review as always.

[@JamesRussoMillas]

Idk about you Sofyan, but the interior noise generation makes the car sound like a Subie lol

He's allowed to like himself - good self-esteem?

[@kellyoubrejr544]

Ik hes allowed to like his own video but him being that popular who would want to like there own video.

[@joesteel]

If I can get it new for $21795, do you recommend it?

[@Weyoun359]

Thank you this video!

[@jkidd7608]

One thing I can't stand about cars is manual adjust seats. By now you would think every car would have power seats considering every car has a back up camera. Seems like such a basic and cheap thing to do.
