It has a DSG, not a traditional automatic. I hate when people don't mention that BIG detail.

dsg is proven to hold more power then the manual. do a little research

@@RaptureSniping Not sure what you mean by this. I’ve done my research. I simply meant they should mention it’s a DSG and not a traditional automatic. Thank you though for nastily replying to a 6 year old comment.

This by far is the worst review I have ever watched/read on a "high performance" vehicle. Where,when and how is it every acceptable to state that the Hyundai Elantra is a competitor to a GLI? Also, the "every man driver" (host) is missing the point. Individuals who purchase cars like the GLI,Honda civic SI, Mazdaspeed 3, Ford Focus St etc.....do not purchase the vehicle for such luxuries as cooled front seats and all of the other non-standard luxuries. We are talking about the performance version of an entry level Sedan for Christ sakes! On a high not my favorite part of the review was the monologue about the DSG transmission which is huge selling point for this vehicle if purchased in auto.......But there are 3 different ways to open the trunk. SMH.

@ZR1Terror 3 жыл бұрын

You can’t talk about performance with cars that have a 4 cylinder engine. Leave performance to the big boys. These are just family cars that want to be sports cars.

I thought the original idea of the flat bottom steering wheel was to make it easier for people to use a clutch pedal, so their knees do not rub against the wheel.

He also was way more excited about the red bull than the car. The test drive portion was lame -- no acceleration runs or handling tests.

@fleagaunag 7 жыл бұрын

There is a portion of consumers, myself included, that buy these "sport" variants of cars due to that fact that they come with the same or similar interior amenities as the top of the line trim model for much less $$$. Personally, if I cared about performance, I'd get a muscle or dedicated sports car.

@VeteranCipher 10 жыл бұрын

Dave, the flat bottom steering wheel is actually an F1 thing. F1 wheels are flat on the bottom so that the driver, who sits very snug inside the car, has room for his legs to get underneath it, and can still turn the wheel. It's just a little styling thing. You'll find the same style on a Ferrari steering wheel.

good review, thanks. would it be possible for you to please review 2014 VW CC Sport? I currently have 2012 GLI Autobahn and thinking of replacing it with the CC. Jetta GLI Autobahn is overall a nice car and good value but the road noise is too much and hard plastics on the door panels have been irritating. Like the VW brand and want to stay with it though. love the cc looks. Thank you.

Are front plates not necessary in Washington? Personally, I also go without the front plate even though it's a requirement because it looks a lot cooler, clean, and removes clutter. In my experience as long as you have a clean car and don't drive like you own the road, the authorities are pretty cool about it.

I live in Palm Springs, california. We crack the sunroof open for ventilation when parked. Other than that, closed. Panoramic sun roofs are useless due to the lack of insulation.. Living here in the desert, I've regretted purchasing a car with a panoramic sunroof due to extreme cold and heat fluctuations.

I really dont ever use my sunroof on my car. I live in TX so that is kind of a given as to why i don't, i do use it in the fall when the days are warm and the nights get chilly. If i do want a breath of fresh air on a nice night, i open the sunroof and turn on the seat warmers and heater. I maybe do that 3 to 5 times a year, other than that, it is shut and so is the shade! Also, i dont ever use those screens in the back seats of cars. I don't even use the motorized one in my rear window either. I am one of those ppl though who likes my windows tinted on the car though.

Cool review, I have always liked the GLI, I'm thinking of getting one perhaps as my next car and really cool that you pointed out the rear legroom and trunk space. I think you certainly forgot to mention the most important aspect of this car, it's shared engine and components with the GTI, which then puts it in a different level than any Elantra or Corolla, per se. At which point this car becomes a bargain Audi and (long live) Acura TSX competitor.
