New VW Jetta GLI is Actually Sporty

Volkswagon Jetta is not the first name we likely think of when looking for cars that are ‘sporty’ but I am someone who at least appreciates the effort by all brands who wish to step into this arena.

The article was written in Motor 1 you can find here.
Even if you look at these cars and think they are slow, boring, not what get’s heart racing, which when compared to a Ferrari obviously it won’t, but the important thing is to affordably have some fun.

Even cars such as the Honda Civic Type R as well as the GR Corolla are getting quite expensive meaning the only car really in this price category directly is the Hyundai Elentra N, which I also believe is an overlooked car.
The Jetta GLI is available with a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual clutch automatic.
According to his article, Anthony states these will be for sale by the end of the year.

Thanks,
