2007 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

One letter can mean a lot if you're talking Volkswagens and the new Jetta GLI.

Sep 10 , 2005

LAURANCE YAP

SANTA FE, N.M. -- One letter can mean a lot if you're talking Volkswagens and the new Jetta GLI.

I came to the car's press preview in Albuquerque expecting to get a first taste of the Golf GTI that I'd seen and sat in at the Geneva auto show last March and which has been on sale in Europe for more than a year now.

That car, a three-door hatchback, was low and aggressive, with a retro-inspired (but still kinda tasteless) tartan cloth interior, a low-set driving position and squared-off steering wheel.

It was also, according to the European press, not only the king of the hot hatchback hill, but also a return to the purity and responsiveness of the first and second-generation GTIs.

Ah, but what we're here to drive is the GLI. Its outward styling cues may be a bit reminiscent of the GTI, with a deep front spoiler, two grilles wrapped in a big black panel with red trim, 17-inch alloy wheels (with 18-inch five-spoke wheels available as an option) and subtle badging, but it's an entirely different car.

For one thing, it's a four-door sedan, with the new Jetta's tall roof, long trunk lid and ever-so-slightly awkward proportions. Its interior is a whole lot more luxurious, its attitude is just a touch more relaxed and it's an entirely different drive than what the GTI will be when it (finally) hits our shores next spring.

While its red brake calipers, red stripes and graphite wheels may scream "sport," the new high-performance Jetta is also luxurious, hence the "L."

Indeed, it seems most in its element on the highway, cruising along at high speeds. In sixth gear, the 2.0-litre turbo engine is eerily hushed but provides superb torque (207 lb.ft. all the way between 1800 to 4700 r.p.m.) and passing power.

The ride, despite the aggressive wheels and tires, is as smooth as any luxury car's and wind and road noise are both absent until you're well past most local speed limits (in New Mexico, that's 75 m.p.h., or 120 km/h).

The fluid steering levers the Jetta between lanes with a mere twitch of the fingers and the upgraded disc brakes are reassuringly powerful when the inevitable slow-moving white Taurus pulls out in front of you without looking.

Much of the credit for the GLI's superb highway demeanour must go to its engine. One thing the GLI does share with the GTI and, indeed, with the new Audi A3 is its engine, a 2.0-litre turbo-charged direct-injection four-cylinder that produces a healthy 200 hp along with a rousing burble from the twin exhaust pipes.

While refined and smooth under most circumstances, when used aggressively, the engine takes on an angry (if muted) snarl and you can clearly hear the turbo's wastegate whooshing and popping.

It's teamed with either a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission or Volkswagen's superb six-speed DSG (directselect gearbox) sequential manual. Featuring two clutches that pre-engage the next gear before you actually shift, it's not only very smooth whether it's in automatic or

manual mode, but its astonishing shift speed also makes it faster than the base transmission.

If you can afford the extra cash for the DSG, I recommend it.

That the GLI works best with the DSG gives you a hint that it's more of a balanced European driver's sedan than an outright performance car.

While its tires generate a lot of grip and you can maintain surprising speeds through corners, the GLI feels softer than it looks. Its body rolls quite a bit, the front tires finally succumb to squealy under-steer and there's little real road feel through the steering.

Turn the intensity down just a bit, though, and it feels just great, instantly responsive to your control inputs and with a slick, smooth feel to all of the control. Inside, while there is certainly visible evidence of cost-cutting in comparison to the cabin of the previous-generation Jetta the lid on the ashtray, for instance, springs up instead of sliding elegantly out of the way and the plastics on the lower parts of the dashboard and door panels are hard and scratchy the GLI is still a superb place to sit.

Deeply sculpted bucket seats with huge side bolsters hold you firmly in place and have a wide range of adjustment; the three-spoke, flat-bottomed steering wheel is just the right size and thickness; the deep-dish gauges are easy to read at a glance; and the audio and climate controls couldn't be simpler to use.

Perhaps more important, the new Jetta's lengthened platform means that the rear seats actually offer quite a lot of leg room -- something you couldn't say about the old car. As has always been the case with Jettas, the trunk is absolutely huge -- that's why its butt is so big -- and there are many useful storage bins scattered around the cabin.

The GLI arrives early next year -- it will be sold as a 2007 model -- about the same time as the new GTI, but Volkswagen is keen to point out that despite the styling similarities, the two will be very different cars, with different purposes and a different attitude.

The GLI is sportier than the "regular" 2.0-litre turbo Jetta that's starting to become available in Canadian dealers, but provides a more refined driving experience than the GTI, which still promises to provide the harder edge that hot-hatch enthusiasts have been waiting for.

VW anticipates that the GLI will form a fairly significant proportion of Jetta sales in Canada, too: it was originally going to be only sold as a special-order product, but feedback from dealers has meant it's now going to be a mainstream model alongside the 2.5 L, 2.0 L and diesel Jettas.

Pricing has yet to be announced for Canada, but in the States, the GLI's base price of $23,790 (U.S.) is quite reasonable for a car of its features and capability. And it's only a few hundred dollars more than the cheapest Passat.
