2011 Jetta GLI... it's not bad

Quote:

Additional performance features for the Jetta GLI include:

- Track tuned four-way Independent Performance Suspension for superb handling
- DSG automatic gearbox that offers steering wheel mounted paddles shifters, super quick shift times and rev-matched downshifts
-XDS cross differential system that debuted on the Volkswagen GTI, that helps prevent inside wheel spin during cornering
- Four wheel disc brakes with floating red calipers

basically a much improved version of the regular jetta for cheap

[IMG]Base price is lower than the outgoing model at $23,495. The GLI Autobahn package is $25,545 and adds 18" alloys, sunroof, dual zone climate control, heated seats and Fender Premium Audio System. The third and top trim package called the GLI Autobahn with Navigation adds the RNS-315 navigation system and keyless access with push-button start for $26,445 (again cheaper than the outgoing GLI and quite a bit cheaper than the fully-loaded GTI).[/IMG]

OMG its pretty good looking & its not bad in price

I like how they pressed the plastic so you know its soft.

^ yup no crappy material here

that centre console looks like crap

independent suspension = big plus

front looks like a ford fusion and back looks like audi a4

This car undercuts the base model GTI by over $2000USD in the States. I'm curious to see what the Canadian pricing would be. :)

Don't like it. Still prefer GTI.

not feeling the front grill... interior looks nice

the interior looks dated

The lower center part... surrounded by "Auto" / "AC" / "OFF" / "Dual" keep making me think that slot is for cassettes...

^agreed. Looks extremely outdated too. Still prefer this way more.

you can press the plastic in a Caliber or Avenger or Genesis and it'll be soft. Haha, since when does plastic pressing became a sign of quality?

Sigh.

VW is ruining their lineup for US consumption.

It looks pretty bad (the outside)

Are those the same wheels as the fahrenheit?
They look pretty similar IMO

For the price-fun you can't really beat it, I'd definitely consider this if I were in the market

damnn a vw i would buy, would look so sickk with some nice bbs LMS

looks pretty good anyone know when it hits the dealerships

i quite like it...just slam it and like someone said before put on some bbs

What? No HID's. VW really screwed up. Even the last generation Jetta had HID's.

fall of 2011

this is my next car for sure. Red on black. Looks so aggresive and sexy. My sister has a mk5 GLI and its the funnest thing to drive and not too heavy on gas consumption.

I never mentioned the Jetta is a crappy car because of no HID's. Please tell me where I even mentioned that Soltaaa. So please take:facepalm: this back.

Meh, i'm not complaining. They lowered the MSRP compared to the outgoing model... Costs have to be cut somewhere. Besides, it's not like HIDs are expensive nowadays. Get one for like $40 off EBay and put it in yourself :)
