I bought a white 40th anniversary manual yesterday. Great value, great looks and fun to drive. Cloth seats comfortable, supportive. Manual shifting is very smooth. Ride is very good also. Best value out there, less expensive than civic si and faster, more comfortable seats for me.

The best part of the Jetta is the fact that it isn’t a Honda civic. The civic is a bit too common, it’s makes the Jetta feel a bit more special to drive.

I like the no moonroof and more stripped down style of the 40th. Makes it feel more like the sports cars I grew up on. Can’t go wrong either way

i love the GLI! i think it's going to be my next move from my MK5 GTI. if i'm not mistaken, though, the current gen GLIs are built on the MK7 GTI MQB platform, so it's getting the MK7 GTI drivetrain. the MK8 GTI makes more power in its newest generation, but honestly you can just get a Stage 1 unitronics on your 3rd generation EA888 motor, and push oover 300hp/ 300lb-ft torque.

Yes it’s on the mqb platform! Tons of aftermarket support, endless opportunities. I don’t keep things stock though so the stock power was never my concern. I’m filming a video going over the Mqb platform, that will drop in about a week:)

I preferred the boxier look of VW's in the late 80's/Early 90's personally. After that era, all cars ended up looking like different versions of a Saturn. Still kind of do in my opinion.

It does not have navigation and remote engine start.. which you may opt out for autobahn, but still does not have navigation

It has Apple car play & android play, which is arguably better than your basic navigation system. Remote start is only necessary in cooler climates. If you want R/s anyway, you can add it on for an extra $500

What I didn't get about this anniversary edition is that it lost the openable roof and the electric adjustment of the driver's seat. I liked the black wheels, but the black trim of the mirrors and door handles are ugly IMO.
@Reallseb
8 ай бұрын
The reason the 40th doesn’t have those things is because it’s paying homage to the first Gli. Back in 1984 when the Jetta Gli was announced, it didn’t have power seats, a sunroof, a crazy audio system, or leather seats

The audio is great for what it is. If you want premium audio, go with the Autobahn trim. The Autobahn’s have the Fender audio system which comes stock with a built in subwoofer & great door speaker
