VW seems to have an annoying tendency in the last two iterations of the Jetta to de-content the car ( hard plastic dash old style twist beam rear axle) in the first years after a body change, then they add the good stuff back in after a few years. I remember driving a loner 2011 Jetta one day and it did not compare favorably with my 2006 TDi Jetta at all. It was sad to see what they had done with the car to meet a price point.
Re: the GLi, it is an Audi A3 clone under the sheet metal. I'm told the drive train is the same.
Years ago I would have been tempted, but not so much any more.
