    I recently sold my MK6 GLI manual, I loved that car, I was thinking going the Audi route but I love manuals so i might just end up getting the MK7 GLI like this one. Great video!!

    Good review! I’m seriously considering this because of all the features that are provided. One question? can you turn off that annoying pumped in engine sound when you customize the settings? Thanks for covering the comparison models, and I want to see if any major changes occur for the 2025 model year.

    I am a retiree from auto dealer industry. That is a great value for a car. I would buy this car in a heartbeat if I needed a car.

    Very disappointed that this top trim Jetta doesn’t have factory Navigation…I assumed it had when I bought it, and it doesn’t. The navigation icon on the head unit just says “vehicle not equipped”

    Love the design of the car. But for the money i feel the interior is a bit too cheap and u don't get as many features as u should. No vents in rear, plastic everywhere, snd the speakers r kinda bad. Either way when i drove it, it was a great ride.

    I know you didn't just say a GTI is more practical than a GLI. They're tiny any can't fit anything unless you put the seats down..... Then you lose the ability to carry rear passengers. At least in a Jetta you can put golf clubs, hockey bags, luggage, and even road trip the car in comfort. Things a GTI will never be able to do.
