Reviewed a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI on Jan 30, 2025
I own a 2016 Jetta GLI manual, and I have to agree with another reviewer: zero issues with this car (my first non-diesel Jetta). Just oil changes and general upkeep and runs beautifully. It's just turning over to 100,000 km. Super sporty and responsive.

I loved all of the features this car has, it feels very luxurious for being a Volkswagen! I think the cars value for the year, mileage and interior cleanliness and features it’s a great price. I don’t think the car is missing anything. I would compare it more to a BMW type sedan which is great!

CarGurus recommends the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
Summary
With 72 currently listed for sale and an average price of $32,442 CAD, 27.8% of 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 5 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI stands out as a practical sport sedan that blends everyday usability with genuine performance intent. Volkswagen refreshed it again for the 2025 model year, updating the front end with a new fascia and grille, and giving it new front and rear lighting designs with a light bar at each end. That keeps the GLI looking sharper and more distinctive than a standard compact sedan, while preserving the formula that has long defined the model: more driver engagement, more equipment, and more performance than the regular Jetta.
It is also appealing because it remains unusually well equipped for the segment. Standard tech includes VW’s App-Connect smartphone integration, wireless charging, and the Digital Cockpit Pro configurable driver display. The 2025 model also comes with a wide sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and automatic headlights and wipers. For buyers who want a manual transmission, it is notable as the last new Volkswagen available with a six-speed manual transmission. The GLI’s 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and the car pairs that with a six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed dual clutch DSG automatic.
There are trade-offs, though. The Jetta GLI’s appeal is strongest for shoppers who value a balanced mix of speed, practicality, and value, rather than outright prestige. The buying guide notes that the EA888 engine is quite reliable if regularly maintained, but water pumps and PCV valves are a common problem area. It also points out that the Jetta GLI tends to require a little more upkeep than a regular sedan, so it suits buyers who are willing to stay on top of maintenance in exchange for a more engaging daily driver.
