    Road test: 2012 Volkswagen GLI

    Drivers everywhere love the Volkswagen Golf GTI. And so they should: the car provides one of the purer driving experiences available from a small car, transforming a regular Golf into a minor pinnacle of performance. The same formula should apply then to the 2012 GLI, the automaker’s highest performing Jetta, right?

    2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI

    Performance enthusiasts in the compact sedan segment don’t have to feel shut out of the performance gene handouts, now that Volkswagen has a new Jetta GLI.

The first GLI came along in 1984.

Its popularity has kept it in dealer showrooms and enthusiast hearts for pretty much the entire 30-year period since.
