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.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
