Christian Wardlaw’s Advice about the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI:
Every time I drove the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, whether on a mountain road, on a freeway, during a commute, or to the local grocery store, I had a blast. This car is an incredibly fun sedan, a true performance bargain, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs four doors and a trunk but still loves to drive. It’s not much to look at, that’s true, but as I told that buddy of mine: from behind the wheel, you can’t see what it looks like on the outside.

Liz Kim’s Advice about the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI:
The Jetta used to be a fun, stylish, affordable alternative for perky, college-bound types who wanted something more meaningful than the predictable Civic or Corolla. It’s still chortle-inducing fun, but it loses points on the exterior style equation. Also, this particular model scarily approaches, and some models even exceed, the $30K mark, which kind of seems to defeat the purpose of considering a Jetta. There are currently a wide array of options, such as the 2006 Honda Civic Si and Subaru Impreza WRX, which can give you better bang for your bucks. The car market is also lousy with brand new compact economy cars that are much livelier and cleverly packaged than the plain-Jane econoboxes of years past. Parents who spring for the Jetta GLI over a Jetta 2.5 for precious Junior will be well advised that they will breed intimate familiarity between their offspring and local law enforcement officials.

Thom Blackett’s Advice about the 2006 Volkswagen GLI:
There are lots of cars that look good, lots that handle well, and even more that go fast. However, the numbers start to drop exponentially when you look for a ride that not only does all three, but excels at it. The 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is one of those cars. Unfortunately, with an as-tested price of about $30,000, this VW gets up into territory where the competition grows in numbers, but keep the options to a minimum and the price down, and the GLI promises to deliver big entertainment bang for your buck.

Mandy Ison’s Advice about the 2006 Volkswagen GLI:
All you fanatic Volkswagen loyalists aside, if you’ve ever had an interesting but, ultimately, unfavorable opinion about VWs, I suggest you give this car a test drive. The 2006 Jetta GLI will change your mind. Though I like my cars bigger (my rebellion against the small, and underpowered, vehicles I drove throughout college), this compact “luxury-like” sedan with its few drawbacks and many outstanding qualities make it an agile and powerful machine that easily manages byways or the highway.
