2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Review

I like it. I like the new Volkswagen Jetta GLI a lot and that’s not just because it’s cheap or I got to drive it down the Tail of the Dragon and into Knoxville, Tennessee — though those two points certainly don’t hurt. I like because it performs enormously well and offers everything it has to give generously. I like it because it sounds good and it looks about right and it drives about right.

Should You Buy a Car With a Dual-Clutch Transmission?

Updated January 2019

In the quest to find a new car, there are a lot of questions that need to be asked. Questions about cargo room, technology, options, luxuries and other various elements will come up more than a few times while shopping for a new car. However, from the car driver’s perspective, there are just three main questions: 

How comfortable is the driving experience? 
How fun is it to drive? 
How good is the car on fuel?

SEE ALSO: Manual Transmission Supra Still Being Considered

A major factor in answering those three questions has to do with the right transmission. Let’s face it, manual transmissions aren’t for everyone. They require familiarity and a level of perfection to get just right. With a traditional automatic transmission, drivers have been able to experience a fairly comfortable, yet less engaging experience. Still, an automatic transmission can leave any driving enthusiast unsatisfied. Luckily, progress has been made in the world of automatic transmissions that can help alleviate those woes.
