In Jamaica we get the 2013 Jetta MKVI with heavy duty suspension, a 1.4 TSI engine (turbocharged) with 7 speed DSG, surround sound that is really made by Fender, bluetooth, cruise control. The engine puts out 170HP. The car is WICKEDLY fast and I love it.
i bought mine 2 months ago and now it got over 5200 miles on it lol took it on a road trip and its really nice except ive had a lot of bad luck with my car, my only gripe is i got the autobahn edition my dealer didnt have the one with nav and they pushed me to buy the one they had instead of waiting for the nav model and now its my biggest regret i didnt wait.
I have the 2012 fully loaded and this video makes me sad. I didn't think they would bring in so many features I actually felt my GLI was missing (most specifically the backup camera and lights).
I think it was actually on the VR6 Passat. I just wish the navigation screen was bigger on the RNS-310. If you look at your review for the 2012 GLI around the 3:00 mark, what system is that? I honestly wouldn't mind an Autobahn edition, HIDs, and that system...even if it isn't a nav. I just think it fills the dash/console much better.
Can you buy them for the TDI? Also when will the TDI model get the new climate system you were talking about along with the reversing camera and new headlamps?
Definitely no preconceived notions. It looks like a great car. I just wish I could get one with no front plate here in NY. The front end looks so amazing without it. Are any of the 2013 models coming with the RNS-510? I was at my dealer the other day and swear I thought I saw one.
I checked VW GLI early 2012 and I found it good but less than expected. It seems that for 2013 they have addressed most of the things that were missing. That is good news.
I think you should consider the Fiat 500 Abarth. It compares in performance with your other choices and is easily under 30k. At least go to the dealership and hear the exhaust note! lol .. but cargo room with the backseats up is tight.
Mine is a MK5. I know what you mean about it feeling "carved out of stone". Sometimes I can't believe I didn't pay BMW money for this car. I will have to test drive a GLI to see how it compares. I'm sure it's great, just don't know if it's enough "GTI" for me. :-)
do you think you could make a video on the updated 2013.5 gli that gets the led tails and the new engine Bonus- if you could take a video test drive to see whats the difference with the new engine! P.S do you think the mk6 jetta is better than the mk5 quality wise
I bought a 2013 GTI myself and I love it! I would like VW to change the exhaust on the GLI to a dual one, like the GTI has......and also on the CC. Also, I would like to see the 2013 GTI and GLI steering wheel on all the VW models. I have to admit the steering wheels on the other VW models except the GTI and GLI are ugly!
You cannot really compare an entry-level 3-Series (328i) to a GLI. RWD versus FWD, 240 hp versus 200 hp, etc. The bimmer is more of a driver's car than the Volkswagen.
Ugh, you're not helping me :) everytime I watch a video, i'm like yeah i like this one....Now I have to consider the stinking VW GLI, hadn't even thought about looking at it. GLI / GTI / SI / ILX or MINI I think i'm down to now...trying to stay under 30k for a daily driver with a backseat that's a little nicer to drive than my 02 civic :)..decisions....decisions...
You may not want to buy any cars from Volkswagen with a manual transmission though. The cars suffer from what is called REV HANG. If you do a quick google search for VW rev hang you will see. The rev hang makes it impossible drive correctly. I myself find the car dangerous to drive so my brand new 2013 CC is sitting in my garage. My 2013 VW CC R-Line is the worst car I have ever owned!
That's a nice camera. Thank you for making these videos which are helpful and enjoyable.
Love it. Looks so luxurious

OH, AND BRING BACK THE BLUE DASH LIGHTING!
Best Jetta so far
I have the 2012 fully loaded and this video makes me sad. I didn't think they would bring in so many features I actually felt my GLI was missing (most specifically the backup camera and lights).
I love this car!
Rear camera is available in the TDI, at least in Canada.
this car is the best
i love those lights too lol

Dont forget the factory subwoofer in the trunk too!

What kind of camera were u using?
Please explain why the GTI doesn't have backup camera feature but the GLI does?
oh my god its is beatifull
does the autobahn without nav still have the touchscreen
Since you work with these cars all the time...how would you rate the build quality of the GLI compared to the GTI?
what would be an average lease price for a 2013 jetta gli with automatic/tiptronic. No other extras?
I checked VW GLI early 2012 and I found it good but less than expected. It seems that for 2013 they have addressed most of the things that were missing. That is good news.
If my GLI did not come with the bi-xenon headlights can I buy and install them? They would need new wiring I guess
Does the RNS-315 have the ability to recieve weather, traffic, and gas prices?
If you had the choice what would you buy a 2010 jetta Wolfsburg with 20k miles or 2010 jetta tdi with about the same mileage both have dsg
was before sportier now familiar what's next ?
TrendMotorsVW...I'm interested in the GLI. I may purchase it early next year. Do you know if VW will bring the GLI back for 2014?
I think you should consider the Fiat 500 Abarth. It compares in performance with your other choices and is easily under 30k. At least go to the dealership and hear the exhaust note! lol .. but cargo room with the backseats up is tight.
Hello Trend MotorsVW! Does the base GLI come with bluetooth and a USB port?
What's the color that makes this car look better ?
Mine is a MK5. I know what you mean about it feeling "carved out of stone". Sometimes I can't believe I didn't pay BMW money for this car. I will have to test drive a GLI to see how it compares. I'm sure it's great, just don't know if it's enough "GTI" for me. :-)
Thank you for sharing!!!!
A few questions, how much is this car since its "fully loaded"?
and have you heard about a 2014 Jetta GLI?
thanks! =)
do you think you could make a video on the updated 2013.5 gli that gets the led tails and the new engine Bonus- if you could take a video test drive to see whats the difference with the new engine!
P.S do you think the mk6 jetta is better than the mk5 quality wise
where made? build quality/reliability?
The European,Asian, and South American markets come with that option for the GTI but the U.S. doesn't. That's weird
does it have usb or aux?
This doesn't have a regular USB port?
Yeah, but they took away the cool blue dashboard lights. Now white. HEY MARKETING AT VW everybody loved those lights!!!!
What are the chances I get a good deal on a 2013 in a year when my GTI is paid off? :-)
Whats the price of this car?
Sold!...
where's the sport in this car ?
price of car???
how much
I bought a 2013 GTI myself and I love it! I would like VW to change the exhaust on the GLI to a dual one, like the GTI has......and also on the CC.
