2012 Volkswagen GLI
Trim: Autobahn Edition

Great car! Great value!
The GLI is a "night and day" difference from the regular Jetta. The sport suspension and higher powered engine provides a very tight feel and gives it some good torque. The GLI has many nice changes to the exterior compared to the normal Jetta, but I think it could still be a bit better. While the styling is nice, I wouldn't say it is "eye catching". On the other hand, the interior is gorgeous with a fantastic flat bottom steering wheel, attractive instrument clusters, and nice red-piping stitching throughout. The only knock is the hard door panels that should have been made "soft-touch" like the dashboard. From a driving perspective, this car is awesome...fun to drive and great handling. Styling could be slightly improved, but I don't think it is ugly...just a bit bland in areas. Overall, if you want a car that has a great sporty feel, is fun to drive, and doesn't break the bank to drive or buy then this is the car for you!

Vibrant tornado red car combining excellent fuel economy with sport performance and handling. Beautiful looking car inside and out with VW's high build quality and reliability. Its been a pleasure driving this car and will be sorry to see it go.

And then there was the GLI
The handling is awesome. The ride is so smooth. Too smooth that you won’t even feel you’re driving above the speed limit, if you’re not paying close attention to the odometer. Best part? You can set a maximum speed limit, so that when you reach that limit, it lets you know.
As a short person, I always need to adjust everything to make sure that I can see in front, on the side and the back. Some cars can be adjusted, but it always give me the “that’s it? I need more” feeling. After having adjusted what I needed, everything fits; like the car was made for me. I have no complaints with this car whatsoever. Well, maybe there's that fuel economy thing, but really other than that, this car is absolutely perfect.
