2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Comes Into Its Own By Beating The GTI Convincingly
The GTI is all about its unique transmission, engine and styling that makes it identifiable as a GTI. Sadly, the Jetta has not received its share of attention on account of the Golf GTI that has hogged the entire limelight so far. However, the latest 2019 model is definitely more competitive on account of a modern style and design with smart and novel technology aided features making it beat the present Golf by more than a furlong. Check with a dedicated Volkswagen service center and you will instantly learn why this Jetta is distinct from the predecessors and even quite alienated from the GTI.
The Jetta is a ream to drive charging on ‘2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinders’ The required torque can be called upon at 1,700 rpm making it easy to negotiate corners. The addition of ‘VAQ limited-slip differential’ helps the wheels to reduce its spin when the throttle is at full blast. All in all, this car definitely packs a punch even when you are cruising at an average speed. You, as the driver, will have the option to drive manually or go for the auto mode. While the auto mode offered in seven different speeds has been the distinction of the ‘Volkswagen DSG family’ to date, it definitely delivers with even the cogs being swapped to hide into the background when the vehicle is in operation.
However, the DSG comes into its own once the gear is shifted into the manual slot and the transmission is set to ‘sports.’ The harp up shifts and instant downshifts become apparent albeit in a less aggressive way when compared to the other products of Volkswagen. The stick shift is smooth though with a regular and predictable clutch function to a right sized lever that delivers an appropriate throw. The transmission could certainly have been better with the slight resistance at each of the gates being eliminated totally.
The manual mode is definitely the preferred one when driving at a low speed thanks to the taller second gear that enables the vehicle to keep to the corner of the road and utilize the abundant torque in order to reach the next corner without the necessity of shifting gears. The challenge of the terrain becomes much less when you are driving the Jetta through it therefore. The ‘dual-clutch’ of the transmission poses some problems, however. Moreover, the GLI equipped with the DCC seems more pleasurable and fun to drive than the non-DCC ones. Buying a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI will not disappoint you either, nor will you have to rush for immediate Volkswagen repair Greensboro NC for a long time.
