And at least VW will still sell you a sedan, as mentioned you can even get a manual!
I have a 1.8 golf, the new 1.5 is just gonna feel slightly slower than that. Aka not enough fun for enthusiasts, but just right for normal economy buyers.Drive one and report back.
the 1.8tsi jetta and golf that i tried awhile ago both flew down the highway. the 1.4tsi jetta is a loafer when it comes to passing, but okay as a suburban errand-doer. i guess that i must endure the dealership experience and try the 1.5tsi, as i will hand-off my well-liked and -cared for passat to my younger son next year when he leaves active duty for grad school.I have a 1.8 golf, the new 1.5 is just gonna feel slightly slower than that.

Not sure I like the only one trim of GLI.
I grew up with coupes and sedans and they are what I still drive except for my wife's H3.I would much rather they kept and boosted the Golf and ditched the Jetta !
I find sedans have little versatility - but some are for style over utility, and those guys may have a truck or a SUV in the stable.
The Golf has been discontinued!
They feel faster than they are, great torque comes on at 1600 rpms. The illusion of effortless driving at part throttle is there. I believe they really pushed MPG hard on the 1.4.the 1.8tsi jetta and golf that i tried awhile ago both flew down the highway. the 1.4tsi jetta is a loafer when it comes to passing, but okay as a suburban errand-doer. i guess that i must endure the dealership experience and try the 1.5tsi, as i will hand-off my well-liked and -cared for passat to my younger son next year when he leaves active duty for grad school.
it’s time for the sedan to goKind of looks like the Passat which is not being made anymore...which in itself resembles a Camry...
We always had a soft spot for the Golf and I wish VW hadn't discontinued it, however rear seat leg room was nonexistent, it had little trunk space and it got worse MPG than the Jetta. As far as versatility goes, most sedans offer more trunk space than the equivalent SUV. More usable space anyway. That coupled with better MPG, lower up front price, and better driving dynamics make them a win. Americans just don't get it.I would much rather they kept and boosted the Golf and ditched the Jetta !

We love the 1.4 TSI. We owned the 1.8 TSI for 6 years and it was a suite engine, but we don't find the 1.4 lacking. It has plenty of torque down low and plenty of passing power on the highway as well, at least when paired with the 8 speed auto.
