Regardless of transmission, acceleration is significantly quicker compared with the standard Jetta's hp engine. In our testing , the automatic-equipped GLI was slightly quicker to 60 mph than the manual version. Still, the stick-shift version was easy and satisfying to row. Our only complaint with the automatic was its hesitance to downshift during spirited cornering. Speaking of corners, the GLI's specially tuned suspension and sticky summer tires a no-cost option help ensure it's just as athletic as its hatchback equivalent.
Likewise, the Jetta GLI provides feelsome steering, strong brakes, and a compliant ride on its standard adaptive dampers.

In the early s, the German government asked automakers to push the boundaries of what was possible with current day EV technology. Since Volkswagen has made no updates to the car's powertrain or chassis, we expect similar times from the model.
But the Golf's hatchback body style, its performance legacy, and its more modern styling may draw buyers away from its Jetta sibling. The model's updates help keep it fresh, though, and the GLI's fun-loving attitude is something every driver can appreciate.
