Find Of The Day: Serious Six-Speed Sports Sedan

Looking for a new ride? Want a loaded and lightly used car for a substantially lower price than a new one? Today’s Find Of The Day, a 2014 Jetta GLI Autobahn, might interest you.

As I type this, new MK7 Jettas are hitting dealerships across the country. Maybe you’ve even seen a 2019 Jetta commercial or two. And while we impatiently wait for the reveal of the next Jetta GLI, let’s take a look a great example of an MK6 one: this 2014 Jetta GLI Autobahn.

While the GLI has always been the more serious sedan sibling to the GTI, the MK6 broke from the model’s history a bit. Starting with this version, the sedan moved a bit downscale while the hatchback moved a bit upscale. The hatch has a higher quality interior, a more evolved version of the 2.0T engine, and a few more bits and baubles than the trunked car. The GLI sports more room and a larger trunk. The GLI also doesn’t hold its value quite as well as the GTI. Which brings us to our find.

This 2014 GLI is a honey of a car. It’s roughly 4 years old, and it only has 41,000 miles; that’s only about 10,000 miles a year. This is an Autobahn trim level car, so it is loaded: premium stereo, KESSY keyless system, navigation, sunroof, power windows/locks, etc. It also has an honest-to-God manual transmission. Enthusiasts rejoice!

To add to the long list of features, this sports sedan is outfitted with great enhancements. The 2.0T engine has a Stage 2 APR tune, CTS diverter valve, and a USP downpipe. The GLI rides on H&R sport springs, 19″ Avant Garde wheels, and there’s 3M ceramic window tint. This car looks serious.

If you’re in the market for a new car, why not consider a lightly-used but well-appointed used car? If used GTI prices have you down, consider its sedan sibling and save yourself some dough. VWVortex member VR6_Jetta_GLI is asking $16,500. Take a look at the ad in our classifieds, or see the car for yourself in Long Island, New York.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...
