Wow so actually looking into it a hair, the Jetta GLI is actually better than the GTI in almost every way! The only trim available is the autobahn - meaning:
DCC,
leather,
e-diff,
and basically the MIB2 out of the 7.5 golf R.
HID headlights,
full suit android auto
wireless phone charging!
digital dash,
i mean its better than the S class GTI in every way, and EVEN beats its price?
Not to mention... It looks BETTER than the GTI. Never thought i would say that.
EDIT: Anyway not getting a new car i don't have $40k after taxes and bullshit lol
