What to Weigh Before Buying
Consider how often the sedan will be used for commuting, how much performance matters, and whether premium unleaded fits the ownership budget. The GLI's single Autobahn trim keeps the configuration straightforward, while its front-wheel-drive layout and four-cylinder engine suit drivers seeking a sport-oriented compact sedan.
Fuel economy is another practical consideration. The GLI's 26 city and 36 highway MPG figures should be weighed against its 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, especially when comparing it with the more efficiency-focused 2023 Volkswagen Jetta.
