2019 VW Jetta GLI Review // The Enthusiast’s Sedan

James and Thomas were invited down to Tennessee by Volkswagen to try the new 2019 Jetta GLI on the back road of all back roads: The Tail Of The Dragon. Warning: Spirited driving ahead. Exterior and interior styling comparisons help figure out if the GLI really is just a GTI in sedan form, or whether its just an inflated Jetta. Watch to see the verdict! SUBSCRIBE!

Hey everyone thanks for watching. I don't normally leave a comment like this but it has to be said that within 24 hours, everything you see here was driven (about 6 hours of driving in total), filmed and edited (and that includes 4 connecting flights to and from Toronto). So yes, at 2 in the morning I woke my dog up with David Attenborough impressions. But massive hats off to Thomas for getting it all edited and produced in that tiny amount of time. The man is a machine. We hope you enjoyed the result, and if you haven't subscribed already...do it.

When real exhaust pipes become a new feature...

I'm not even a Jetta fan (or GLI fan), but I must say this GLI looks sick. Those sharp ass taillights, the duals, the effin manual; hell yeah VW. Doing it right!

[keithasher]

Subscribed because of the intro. That punch was GREAT.

Throttle House + Straight pipes collab could be legit LIT

After 3 cars with cvt shite I bought a gli edition 30 6 speed and it's music to my ears that the manual is here to stay!

I've owned a 2019 35th Canadian GLI for over three years now and happy to report no issues and still a lot of fun to drive.

Picking up my GLI Autobahn tomorrow. This video helped my decision. Our household love watching your videos.

Giving kudos to Attenborough! What a funny & classy intro 👏

Well guess what guys? I just today purchased a 2019 Jetta GLI 35th in Pure Grey very much with help of your wonderful review. After already leasing a 2019 Jetta S with 6 speed manual for the passed year I was ready for some more fun in my life. Handing down the year old Jetta to my older son so we can be Jetta buddies, lol! Loving her so far of course and looking forward to updating everyone on my long term ownership experience.

That intro haha. If you're looking for a VW, the Jetta usually has some ricidulous lease deals. I would go with the gti or the jetta gli with the manual transmission. 6 speed ftw!

[Euro.throttle]

What an intro🤣😂 Amazing review guys!You guys deserve your own Netflix or HBO series. Or even Apple TV series! Something! You guys are awesome!👏🏻

[miked]

Nice to see VW still catering to the manual enthusiast. Keep up the quality content lads!

[RMAGEDN]

You two have brought back youtube car reviews. Your formula is great!

[enthused]

You guys are the best in the business at this point. I can NOT believe you're not at 2 or 3 million subs yet. You will be. So many long, drawn out, monotonous reviews these days. 12-18 minutes is the sweet spot, and you guys are never boring. Hard to do.

[ShubhamMandlekar]

Have been waiting for this review since the launch of this car and I am so glad you guys did it! Loved it!

[SonOfTheDawn]

I just got my factory ordered GLI S a couple of weeks ago. This video helped me pull the trigger and I couldn't be happier!

[TrueCanadian]

Best intro to a car review ever. Hilarious stuff!

[roderickl]

Intro's hilarious!
For my everyday, I'd pick the GTI.
I still have my 2008 Mark V. 207, 000+ miles.
I've driven it twice in the winding roads of the Smoky Mountains.
Thanks, Guys!

Im actually crying, i loved that intro so much.
