New 2025 VW Jetta & GLI review // Great power and value in both!

In the world of mechanics, no-one values turbo-charged engines, since they break down quickly. Do not overstate the fuel economy for this VW. The Corolla gets better fuel economy with a better engine. Made in Japan, of course.

Will the regular jetta be manual in other markets

Is it better than honda Civic 2025? Also, how is reliability ?? Would love to see a comparison video between Jeeta and Honda Civic.
Thanks for the video.

Biased review angle from VW owners. Don't seem like the folk to thrash/trash/toll/troll drive type like myownself. That no spare tire is ridiculous and hazardous. You can buy steel rim with a decent tire especially for Canada and just put a clear big clear bag around it just to be clean (buy a tire iron and spare lug nuts). The tow truck guy will love it truly. The steelys look ghetto without hub covers and scratched but they repainted well they are highly effective. Alloys are expensive and original steel wheel covers are well over 100USD each.

GLI or Civic Hybrid 2025. Which one would you choose?

How good is manual GLI and what are real world highway mpgs? I drive 124km highway to work and back. Wish they still offer manual in 1.5l as the 24 many got over 48mpg

I considered the GLI (I had number of VWs)… but, I went with a 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring instead. No transmission, no serpentine belts, more low end torque, better fuel economy, no haptic controls, almost the same HP and a bit cheaper in price. I did have to give up the DCC to go to the Civic.

So much shiny plastic in that interior.. omg thats bad. The last thing you want to see while driving is light reflecting off shiny plastic objects in the cabin. Also wtf is up with all this capacitive touch controls for things like A/C we want physical controls for this kind of stuff.

These cars look nice, but those interiors are a step backwards. I wish companies would get rid of the shiny plastic, its garbage and its distracting while driving.

I have a 2020 Jetta SEL. Has been a very reliable car and is very athletic and Pepe where it needs to be in the low end as well as the top end so great for every day driving in traffic and on the freeway the best part is the fuel economy cannot be beat on five hour plus Highway journeys which I regularly take I’m getting 46 to 47 mpg. In city 32. And the technology is on par with what you would get in the prestige trim level of an Audi. The only downside is does not have the upscale materials on the interior like an Audi, but that is my only gripe. I’m very happy at almost almost 70,000 miles. The new 2025 GLI looks very attractive.

If the GLI had AWD, I would seriously consider it.

Rear torsion beam – what is this 1995? Hard pass.

On my third vw, 2nd Jetta. 2015 Jetta problem free 134k, 2017 golf 65k no problems. 2021 r line, thus far no problems. Father had all sorts of vw my whole life, as reliable as anything else

VW needs to do a final manual car with old school vibes .. get rid of the screens everywhere and shiny plastics. Bring back driver experience like the golden age of VW

Volkswagen is so half ass backwards I don't understand as to why you would get rid of the 6 speed manual from the mk8 gti but yet you can only get it in the jetta GLI. that really puzzles me.

Front looks like a Mitsubishi. That lower red stripe along the whole lower front is tacky as hell. What happened to vw styling?

disappointing . They took the old 2019 screen and just installed it onto a frame. Why wouldn't they just create a larger entirely upgraded screen ? I have my 2019 Jetta Execline and this is a 2025 with a lot of the same features. Not much has changed with the excepting of the outside design which in all honesty I dont even like as much. Pretty disappointing but we will have to see .

thank goodness they didn't go with a CVT …
