I have this car and I can tell everyone it’s actually very fun. A lot of people say it’s many times better when you tune it but for now I’m enjoying it stock and it’s awesome. Don’t know if I’m allowed to saw this here but I’ve got some vlogs that you guys can check out with my GLI
I recently drove a Jetta when i visited New Mexico and Arizona. It was a remarkable car. I can only imagine how nice the GLI would be. Thomas, yet another great review.
Europe, at least in the Western half, HATES sedans 😢. They may not be the most practical cars in countries with narrow roads and lack of available space, yet they are far more elegant than hatchbacks and, especially, SUVs.
@@Mpl3564 We dont hate them, but they are strictly for status looks, most people will go for a wagon. Sadly more people go for crossovers or suvs instead of wagon or sedan, but i still see plenty of sedans and liftbacks(sedan but whole back with glass opens)
Im surprised it's still offered here in the USA seeing as some brands like ford have ditched all cars with the exception of the mustang for SUVS. I was shocked when they said the ID7 is coming here
Because, the new Jetta A7 is exclusively sold in North America and China. They don't sell Jettas worldwide anymore and the last generation of the Jetta sold worldwide was the Jetta A6. But hey, at least the VW Golf is sold worldwide.
Was surprised to see so many in the comments wanting this sold in Europe. GLI gets kind of ignored in US when we could get other, favored sporty compacts for the same money. Jetta Sport, however, in the low 20s USD is an amazing value and hyper efficient. Now that Jetta garners respect!
0:43 Thomas's outfit has again been impeccably matched to the paintwork. 0:32 Even the orange Nike swoosh on the shoes matches the amber side lights on the Jetta. That's style! 😁😍
I’m so glad to see you review this car on your channel. Your videos are always great! I’m really considering replacing my mk6 GLI with the mk7 when the time comes. I just can’t get past the feeling of it being an “americanized” Volkswagen.
I love the red and black accents both on the IP and the door panel spears. For the price this is so much car, not to mention companies like ECS tuning offer the IS38 (Golf R) turbo as a bolt-on solution for this, along with ECM tune and DSG tune support for that upgrade... could make your own budget Golf R-powered Jetta. So many good features for such a reasonable MSRP. Well done VW
Matte Black Pillars had severe discoloration on my Jetta through the years. Once it's Grey, I would say that scratches are more visible than with a glossy finish
I got the ‘21 autobahn exact same color 6MT, and love it! It doesn’t have the pesky capacitive buttons but otherwise it’s pretty much identical to the ‘23. It’s supper comfy, hauls all my stuff and friends no problem. Plus it’s super fun to drive on the twisty roads - although I would recommend fitting better tires than stock. Had great acceleration and great gas mileage - rarely to be found together.
I’m actually surprised they’re still releasing this in the US with how every other company is basically getting rid of sedans because of the SUV/Truck craze .

I have no idea why the Jetta isn't sold in Europe, or indeed the UK. Audi sell plenty of A3/S3/RS3 Sedan's in the UK, surely the Jetta is pretty much the same underneath? Come on VAG, give us back the Jetta in the UK, you used to in the past, we want it back please!
Because the European consumer does not buy it. Each product is determined by preference, need and of course the laws and regulations of the market. I wish they would sell SW and the almost extinct minivans in North America, however unfortunately I know our market would not buy them. The last SW or wagons for sale in North America were the Peugeot 206 and 307 SW, Volvo V60 (DE), Subaru Outback (BS), SEAT León ST (5F) and Volkswagen Golf Variant (5K and 5G). In fact, the only compact hatchback of European origin (excluding Premium) still for sale is the León (KL1). The closest thing to it are the MPV's Rifter (K9) Long and Caddy (SB) Maxi.
The GLI is not the GTI's twin. The GLI has the E888.3 from the MK7 GTI not the 4th gen from the MK8. It makes about 20 fewer BHP and LB/Ft. The suspension is also tuned differently.
The Volkswagen Jetta A7 sure looks good, but it's only sold in North America and China, not worldwide. The same goes for the Volkswagen Atlas which is a mid-size crossover SUV. Also, they don't sell that compact sedan worldwide anymore and the last Jetta sold worldwide was the A6 version.
Ok - perhaps I’m mistaken about rear cross driving sensor? - however, whenever I’m backing into something or getting close I get a notification - beep.
As or the „real leather“, please consider: also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: ruclips.net/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/видео.html New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html More and more natural materials are rising: ruclips.net/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/S1aNZeoatmE/видео.html Another interesting article is here: www.collectivefashionjustice.org/articles/is-vegetable-tanned-leather-sustainable-lets-do-some-leather-myth-busting#:~:text=Often%20listed%20as%20a%20'pro,the%20method%20of%20tanning%20used.

Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
@@autogefuehl Thomas, since it is important for you to have a vegan option, I would expect that with the same intention you claim when there is no non-vegan option, when there is no manual transmission option, when there is no non-hybrid engine option, and in the case of hatchbacks when there is no 3-door option. I believe that the most important thing is that one can choose the vehicle as one wants and not have to buy what they impose.
@@autogefuehl There is no more ethical problem than taking away our freedom to choose what we want. Just as you have the right to complain that it doesn't have a leather-free interior option, I have the right to complain about the rest. That's why it seems to me that what we should really complain to the brands in general, is that they give the option to the customers to choose how each one wants their car and not impose anything.
And the most interesting thing is that the new brand Jetta can not keep the great succeed as it in vw, because chinese customers believe that vehicle with vw logo would more premium... without vw logo, they don't buy it, wow😂
Can someone tell me about what's going on about the new c8 rs7/6 performance variants, car was announced long ago but I havent seen anyone driving them or any reviews on it, I really want to see how it will compete with m5cs and e63s
Good review Thomas, great car, I have been chasing a GLI since 2020 and VW has not been able *or willing( to produce enough GLIs for the mexican market, working with half a dozen local dealers over time, they all say the waiting list is up to 9/12 mos., and then, the car simply does not arrive. Great product for the price, but time passes fast, asian cometitors are arriving and it is getting old, about to reach it 6th. year on the market, and no signs of VW intending to improve availability
This is a beautiful car. Need 4 door sedans to remain the car to drive for a value price. I drove a 4 door ford fusion titanium and that was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned, shopping for this as it has a lot of those qualities and I’ve always liked Volkswagen. New trucks are too expensive and they don’t put enough creature comforts in the vehicle. You can pay 50k for a truck that doesn’t have the basic comforts of what a vehicle like this has.
Nice! Real leather and not that "real man made leather" bs. And no, I don't have animal skin on my car, I just like that they dont try to bs you on that.

I don't get it. There are a lot of customers here in the EU who would pay good money for this car and besides, VW is German. Why not throw this car on the european market?
@@the_ludovico_techniq I can agree with that. But mostly with the bigger ones. I thinks it's just what we grew up with. I bet eventually many normal cars will be crossovers in people's heads. The first cars after all basically looked like crossovers. People might think a suv is more sophisticated one day. That will be weird.
Agree. A sedan is less practical, and I prefer to have a rear wiper (hatch or wagon - not an SUV fan). I will never understand the North American mentality of aversion to hatches.
the anti SUV movement is here. Our SUV and neighbors véhicules had tyres deflated recently. We’re going to sell ours and return to standard height car.

Does it come in RHD
I would like to know if you can make another video of a Rolls Royce. for Example a Ghost or Phantom
I have this car and I can tell everyone it’s actually very fun. A lot of people say it’s many times better when you tune it but for now I’m enjoying it stock and it’s awesome.
Don’t know if I’m allowed to saw this here but I’ve got some vlogs that you guys can check out with my GLI

Thanks 🙏
Wish we had this in Europe! There are a lot of elements that I would prefer over the Golf 8 that I drive.
We shouls arrange some proper deal, give americans Golf GTi and R wagons and Jetta back in europe. 😅
Also styling is nicer than Golf 8 too in my opinion. Rear is very Audi A4 like.
Europe, at least in the Western half, HATES sedans 😢. They may not be the most practical cars in countries with narrow roads and lack of available space, yet they are far more elegant than hatchbacks and, especially, SUVs.
@@Mpl3564 Thats your personal opinion. I dont agree the small sedan is generally more elegant…

way better interior than the mk8, I like how the infotainment screen in integrated into the dash instead of being stuck on!
The GLI is on my shortlist as a replacement for my Elantra Sport. This video is definitely helpful!
appreciated - keep joining !
VW stopped selling the Jetta in South Africa along with many sedans, years ago. It's nice to see how they are developing the sedans in other markets.
Im surprised it's still offered here in the USA seeing as some brands like ford have ditched all cars with the exception of the mustang for SUVS. I was shocked when they said the ID7 is coming here

Honestly surprised as an American that we still have this compared to even the rest of the world. The US is going all SUVs and nothing else.

Has some similarities with the Audi A3 Sedan
And thank you Thomas for your tireless efforts against #capacitive bs buttons
🤟

I’m so glad to see you review this car on your channel. Your videos are always great! I’m really considering replacing my mk6 GLI with the mk7 when the time comes. I just can’t get past the feeling of it being an “americanized” Volkswagen.
Cheers m8!
Proudly made in México!
VW's are always elegant in their simplicity in terms of styling.
Absolute shame such a great looking VW is not available in Europe.
And it starts there from 21k usd or something
@@khelgarironfist3301 I wish it were that low haha. It’s starts at $32K
You can import it
You have similar looking fiat tipo :)
@@WaveManMike i probably meant regular Jetta with 1.5 or something

The mk7 Golf interior items is a win for me - no to capacitive BS ;)
It has the look of a car from a different era.
Matte black pillars, btw - my Golf had scratches on the piano black from day one.
yeah good point, this is better for no scratches
Matte Black Pillars had severe discoloration on my Jetta through the years. Once it's Grey, I would say that scratches are more visible than with a glossy finish
American model. Cheaper materials and outdated tech. Not so worthy in Europe.
@@pokest225 Europe literally has some pretty terribly cheap cars that sale tho
@@baronvonjo1929 yes. But the american models usually are behind. The Jetta, Passat... Are far worse than the European models.

Nice choice for a review, salute from Brazil.

Ok not related to the car/test itself but there is a road cyclist on a highway at 10:39. Is that common sight in US? Never saw that anywhere so far.
yes - definitely in California. Lots of bikes on the highway.
Shame that we almost can’t get a proper sedan in Europe these days.
What’s left? Bmw 3-5-7, merc c-e and s ?
Looking at the dashboard, seems to be old generation golf mk7.5 version, right?
like the mesuring stick, ready when opening the trunk 😃
Pacific coast highway….nice. Keep your lane Thomas! 😝

So fun to drive...I don't regret my choice.
VW Virtus looks like Golf’s sedan twin. This jetta got that vw SUV grill like the new touareg and atlas.
I have no idea why the Jetta isn't sold in Europe, or indeed the UK. Audi sell plenty of A3/S3/RS3 Sedan's in the UK, surely the Jetta is pretty much the same underneath? Come on VAG, give us back the Jetta in the UK, you used to in the past, we want it back please!
Unfortunately in South Africa we only have 1 VW Sedan left on sale, the VW Polo sedan.😢
Why is this not sold in Europe ??
Because the European consumer does not buy it. Each product is determined by preference, need and of course the laws and regulations of the market.
I wish they would sell SW and the almost extinct minivans in North America, however unfortunately I know our market would not buy them.
The last SW or wagons for sale in North America were the Peugeot 206 and 307 SW, Volvo V60 (DE), Subaru Outback (BS), SEAT León ST (5F) and Volkswagen Golf Variant (5K and 5G).
In fact, the only compact hatchback of European origin (excluding Premium) still for sale is the León (KL1). The closest thing to it are the MPV's Rifter (K9) Long and Caddy (SB) Maxi.
The GLI is not the GTI's twin. The GLI has the E888.3 from the MK7 GTI not the 4th gen from the MK8. It makes about 20 fewer BHP and LB/Ft. The suspension is also tuned differently.
There are monovular and binovular twins 😉
The Volkswagen Jetta A7 sure looks good, but it's only sold in North America and China, not worldwide. The same goes for the Volkswagen Atlas which is a mid-size crossover SUV. Also, they don't sell that compact sedan worldwide anymore and the last Jetta sold worldwide was the A6 version.
How is the Atlas a midsize crossover. The only crossover bigger I can think of would be the new Grand Highlander. The Atlas is definitely full size.
We need this car Jetter GLI in south africa. The car will do well trust us
Ok - perhaps I’m mistaken about rear cross driving sensor? - however, whenever I’m backing into something or getting close I get a notification - beep.
Lets go!
Looks like a Polo GTI inside.
I wish VW would make the Jetta/Golf look like the A2 or A3 version. This design and the previous look too much like a Camry.
Just shame that they didn’t put this engine output in US spec Tiguan.
Stunner❤🔥❤🔥

Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse?
We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
@@autogefuehl Thomas, since it is important for you to have a vegan option, I would expect that with the same intention you claim when there is no non-vegan option, when there is no manual transmission option, when there is no non-hybrid engine option, and in the case of hatchbacks when there is no 3-door option.
I believe that the most important thing is that one can choose the vehicle as one wants and not have to buy what they impose.
@@faygox955👎🏼
Using animal skin is an ethical issue, transmission is not
@@autogefuehl There is no more ethical problem than taking away our freedom to choose what we want.
Just as you have the right to complain that it doesn't have a leather-free interior option, I have the right to complain about the rest.
That's why it seems to me that what we should really complain to the brands in general, is that they give the option to the customers to choose how each one wants their car and not impose anything.
What factors influence a company’s decision to not sell a specific car model in Europe? What makes this model special?
Ppl in the us like sedans, europe rather buy estates
Jetta in China has been made seperated by vw and become an all new brand, very interesting
And the most interesting thing is that the new brand Jetta can not keep the great succeed as it in vw, because chinese customers believe that vehicle with vw logo would more premium... without vw logo, they don't buy it, wow😂
It is so good (or bad) that there is ZERO inventory in the whole country of Canada
To be honest I live in Maryland and it is hard to get them meaning people like it in my opinion
What country did you film this video in
Start the video from beginning 😅
I wish if VW didn't stop making Jetta in Europe...
It looks like the sedan version of Polo 😮 Same dashboard infotainment center console
Can someone tell me about what's going on about the new c8 rs7/6 performance variants, car was announced long ago but I havent seen anyone driving them or any reviews on it, I really want to see how it will compete with m5cs and e63s
It's a Skoda Octavia VRS
Good review Thomas, great car, I have been chasing a GLI since 2020 and VW has not been able *or willing( to produce enough GLIs for the mexican market, working with half a dozen local dealers over time, they all say the waiting list is up to 9/12 mos., and then, the car simply does not arrive. Great product for the price, but time passes fast, asian cometitors are arriving and it is getting old, about to reach it 6th. year on the market, and no signs of VW intending to improve availability
Thanks! oh wow waiting list !
It's assembled in Mexico. I a 2022 like the one in the Video. I purchased it last April with 5 miles, and have about 6800 now.
Hi there, is there going to be a new model/redesign for Jetta 2024?
is it a hybrid?
I don't get why VW don't put parking sensors in the SEL and the GLI, they're so cheap to add and so helpful!
there are definitely parking sensors in my ‘21 - not sure what you’re referring to.
@@omariwest9068 mine doesn’t have them. Even on their specs sheet, they’re not there
Hätte ich längst gekauft wenn der hier verfügbar wäre!
I wish if they can make in AWD version
This VW car is missing in Europe! BTW there is also nice sedan VW Bora in China available...
Are the wheel bolts shown at 0:51 actually triple-square or are they just a cover hiding "regular" wheel bolts?
They’re a cover that hide the regular wheel lug bolts
Autobahn-Trim for 55. Uhhh...😂😂
Thomas: Alle Achtung das Sie dabei nicht herzlich gelacht haben 👍
This is a beautiful car. Need 4 door sedans to remain the car to drive for a value price. I drove a 4 door ford fusion titanium and that was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned, shopping for this as it has a lot of those qualities and I’ve always liked Volkswagen. New trucks are too expensive and they don’t put enough creature comforts in the vehicle. You can pay 50k for a truck that doesn’t have the basic comforts of what a vehicle like this has.
GLI my dream car but those touch buttons on the steering wheel is the worst!
Jetta R would be amazing. Unfortunately that would probably be like the new Golf inside. 👎
Looks like it uses a lot of polo parts rather than golf.. not a bad thing though
I just don’t like the look 😂 I’m in US & I like the mk6.5 look
And what a blessing it is that we will not be having this eyesore on European roads. Thank you Lord!
Have you seen the ugly cars over there I would rather have these then what we see on your roads 😂
VW did the Jetta dirty, the GLI should be on the same level as a S4, C43 or M340i but all VW did was make another GTI with a bigger boot
US drivers and lane discipline 🙊
As an American yeah we’re overrated lol
Nice! Real leather and not that "real man made leather" bs.
And no, I don't have animal skin on my car, I just like that they dont try to bs you on that.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.

A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: ruclips.net/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/видео.html

@@autogefuehl as I said, I don't use any animal skin products, I just don't like when they are not clear and call it something that is not.
I agree that customers should have transparent information
how beautiful. if it was in hatchback
Il would be a sort of Golf Mark 7,75! 😂
Love the Jetta but need AWD.
I wished it was AWD lol
It’s basically a less spacious and slower Octavia vrs
American fuel quality. And this thing is meant to compete the Civic Si
Less spacious yes slower no my gli does 0 to 60 in 5.6 yours take about 6.6
Looks like an Audi from some angles and a Skoda from others haha
Bring it back to Europe #Volkswagen!!!!!!
I don't get it. There are a lot of customers here in the EU who would pay good money for this car and besides, VW is German. Why not throw this car on the european market?
Manufacturers always say that Europeans dont buy sedans
@@autogefuehl Hmm I guess (and thats just an impression from what I am seeing on the streets) SUVs took over the Sedan market.
Defo - on both markets
Why don’t they put that front on the hideous golf 8?
Not having synthetic leather or fabric option is a dealbreaker in 2023.
Yep
I dont know why anyone would want a sedan over a hatch or wagon
For me, a sadan is much more sophisticated and mature looking than a hatch.
@@the_ludovico_techniq I can agree with that. But mostly with the bigger ones. I thinks it's just what we grew up with. I bet eventually many normal cars will be crossovers in people's heads. The first cars after all basically looked like crossovers. People might think a suv is more sophisticated one day. That will be weird.
Agree. A sedan is less practical, and I prefer to have a rear wiper (hatch or wagon - not an SUV fan). I will never understand the North American mentality of aversion to hatches.
No autobahn testing since your in Huntington Beach, Calf...try not to run over any of the homeless..
the anti SUV movement is here. Our SUV and neighbors véhicules had tyres deflated recently. We’re going to sell ours and return to standard height car.
Crossovers are literally the same height as the orginal cars from the early 20th century. They are very standard height.
It looks a bit like a shrank awkward Passat.
Looks like a Skoda.
they've ruined the front grils in their sedans
I honestly don't like it. It looks like a Skoda Octavia LOL
That car looks hopelessly drab.
Look at Tesla and understand your mistake
@@Kostyamba1944 Tesla way more $ too not this cars competition really
@@Carfan678, but still looks like a piece of soap
@@Kostyamba1944 not sure why you're comparing to a tesla, and it doesn't make this one look any better
Ah, nice the successor to the fiat multipla 😂
My wife is waiting on a 24 to show up with a manual transmission. We like this color. Just a matter of seeing one to get. 🕰️
老气的感觉啊
Nice vehicle, but its overpriced.......
still not better than a toyota corolla. No European car has ever come close to a Toyota Corolla.
Ugly, for sure, but if we had this available in EU, I would choose this in a heartbeat over the T-Roc R.
Your crazy these really are some good looking vehicles for being so simple
That car is absolutely hideous
why are these cars so ugly looking lately
What a boring design.
the best jetta gli was in 2004 with bbs wheels and Recaro seats, this one is badged trash
It's just amazing.
