The GLI is a GTI with a trunk that has more volume than the GTI, although, the GTI's open hatch can swallow larger objects. The rest of the GTI is a subtle blend, a sedan with the same high performance acceleration and handling as the GTI. The low-profile tires hate rough roads, but they stick like glue to pavement, yiled impressive cornering. The electronic stability control, powerful brakes, and xenon headlights, offer tremendous active safety. This car easily flies along the highway with lightning speed and inspiring confidence. The remarkable DSG transmission with paddle shifters makes for rapid shifting without taking your hands off the wheel. This is truly a driver's car
