Car & Driver 2019 10Best "Inadequacies:" Quick blurbs on the cars that didn't make the 10Best list this year via /r/cars

Car & Driver 2019 10Best "Inadequacies:" Quick blurbs on the cars that didn't make the 10Best list this year

In the print edition of Car & Driver, January, 2019, they dove into the year's 10Best cars list. They also had a small section in the margins of the 10Best feature called "Inadequacies." In this section, they gave a quote for each car that was up for 10Best contention, but didn't make it, briefly summarizing its shortcomings. Lots of interesting insight, if you ask me! Remember that Car & Driver has a full set of tests they run to select their 10Best cars, many of them on a track, so it's not just a group of editors sitting in a room and picking which ones they like best. So, here they are:

Audi A6: "Way more luxury than sport here."

Audi A7: "It's like Audi tried to make a Tesla Model S out of a gas-powered car. Needs more sound and fury. But I guess that's what the S7 is for."

Audi RS5: "The RS5 used to have a howling V-8 and gobs of personality. This one feels sedate in comparison."

BMW i3s: "Even in its marginally sportier guise, the BMW i3 continues to be as far as you can get from the experience of driving a car while still driving a car."

BMW 640i xDrive GT: "Drives like a hockey arena."

Buick Regal GS: "The name vastly oversells its performance."

Buick Regal TourX: "Less than the sum of its parts, attractive though they are."

Honda Clarity PHEV: "As far as the effort to remove all sensory traces of dynamic motivational activity under the hood goes, this thing is a champ. The ultimate anodyne driving experience."

Honda Insight: "What to buy when you really want a Prius but can't bear to look at one."

Hyundai Accent: "There's an awful lot of competence here for the money. Not necessarily much joy but an awful lot of competence."

Hyundai Veloster: "The N splits the difference between a VW GTI and a Civic Type R without being better than either. And like all Velosters, this one is still burdened by its economy-car ethos and weird design."

Jaguar XF Sportbrake: "It's handsome as all get-out, but the interior isn't as nice as it should be, the powertrain is not as refined as it should be, and the chassis isn't as fun as it should be."

Kia Forte: "Manages the strange trick of looking cheaper than it actually is."

Lexus ES/Hybrid: "Was the dashboard designed to win a bet? It is more terraformed than styled, with various vintages of switchgear and instruments."

Lexus LS: "I'm startled by how removed from the driving experience this car has become. Like changing lanes from your bed."

Mazda 6 2.5T: "Very refined but doesn't feel sharp. This has me worried that Mazda is starting to walk away from sportiness in favor of luxury."

Mercedes-Benz C-Class: "Much improved but still not as satisfying as the E-class."

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class: "No longer better looking or handier than the E-class, so I fail to see the point."

Nissan Altima: "Rental-car desk agents should see a dramatic decrease in arguments with disgruntled customers."

Nissan Leaf: "A car that is crying out for automation to remove the irksome requirement to operate it."

Porsche Panamera: "Breaks Porsche's rule of functional design. Who thought that air vents that can have their direction changed only through a touchscreen was a good idea?"

Subaru WRX STI Type RA: "A relic from Subaru's Brutalist period, it's the antithesis of what 96 percent of its customer base values: It's loud, harsh, and busy. It's also incredibly fun, especially on gravel."

Toyota Avalon/Hybrid: "It exists for cruising the mega-slab, but there are no interstates on the 10Best loop."

Toyota Corolla Hatchback: "Good enough to make the 10Best list -- in 2008."

Volkswagen Jetta: "If the Golf is the sibling that lives in the suburbs, pulling down good scratch and maxing out its 401(k), the Jetta is the poor relation sheltering under a cardboard box at the bus station."

To clarify, there were a couple other vehicles that didn't make the list, but were close enough that their acknowledgements were less... mean. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was well-loved by nearly everyone, but had so many issues that needed to be serviced when they had one long term, it was basically out of the running. The Tesla Model 3 Performance did very well too, but since it starts at nearly $80k, it was very hard to justify its value vs competitors. The Audi RS3 was on the 10Best list last year, but this year there was no way they were picking it over the M2 Competition, which has better performance and an improved ride vs its non-Competition predecessor, leaving C&D to look at the RS3 less as a threat and more as "a really expensive, really powerful VW Golf with a really small trunk." Harsh words. The Kia Stinger GT almost made the list last year, and the Kia Stinger 2.0T almost made it this year, but the Genesis G70 better captured the hearts of the C&D editors. The Camaro was bumped from the list by the newly-refreshed Mustang, not necessarily because the Mustang is the clear winner, but because Chevy's 2019 "refresh" of the Camaro gave each trim a new grille and not much else, preserving issues with livability in the cabin in the name of exterior design. And finally, Dodge brought some Challengers to the 10Best competition, for the third time in five years, but all they've done each time was add more power to a car that hasn't been fully redesigned in about 10 years.

Finally, here's a reminder of the 10 cars that did win this year:

BMW M2 Competition

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport/Z06

Ford Mustang GT/Bullitt

Genesis G70

Honda Accord

Honda Civic Sport/Si/Type R

Mazda MX-5 Miata/RF

Mercedes-Benz E450/AMG E53

Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman

2022 Volkswagen Taos 1.5T S SUV

The new 2022 Volkswagen Taos comes with a wide array of standard features, including a 158hp turbocharged 1.5L I-4 engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes. It has standard safety features, including a driver's seat-mounted airbag, Side Curtain Protection curtain 1st and 2nd row overhead airbags, and an airbag occupancy sensor.

It also has 17-inch alloy wheels and a cooled front seat. Lastly, the SUV has a host of available tech features, including a BeatsAudio stereo with eight speakers.

The Taos' cabin is filled with modern amenities, including a large touchscreen with intuitive controls, a navigation system, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The new crossover has a high seating position, a comfortable ride, and great handling.

And with its AWD capabilities, it may become a popular alternative to the Golf. But before you decide to buy the new 2022 Taos, you should know a little bit more about it for more details learn more.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is a mid-sized SUV that's designed specifically for the U.S. market. It is not the first VW to target this market, but it is the first one that isn't made to compete with the Toyota C-HR, Subaru Forester, and Honda HR-V.

Unlike its predecessors, the Taos has a more stylish appearance than its European counterparts. Its raised roof rails and struts help keep the cabin surprisingly quiet, and the cab seats allow for a comfortable and roomy ride.

The Taos is bigger than the Kia Seltos and Ford Bronco Sport, but it's more compact than any of these vehicles. However, its higher trims have a rear spoiler and extended roof, which enhances visibility. There's also a wide trunk door and LED taillights. The exterior styling of the Taos is very attractive. It's a great choice for the urban commuter.

The Taos' exterior is a nondescript crossover with a sporty look. Its upscale interior is a bit more modern than the previous generation's, but there's a distinct character. Its lowered height makes it easier to maneuver, and the rear-seat backseats are spacious and comfortable. The rear seats are more spacious than the front-drive Taos, but they're still smaller than the Atlas and Ford Bronco Sport.

Like other cars in the same class, the Taos looks good. Its looks are a great combination of attractive design and solid technology. The interior is spacious, with a comfortable seat for five passengers.

And a large backseat for a subcompact SUV is impressive. Its cargo space is generous, and the rear view is good. The 2019 VW Taos has a strong engine and a smooth ride.

Volkswagen’s Golf GTI Autobahn and Kia’s Stinger GT Limited: Bringing fun back into driving

Text and Photos by Michael Hozjan

Whether you like it or not summer is over and with it comes the fall driving season. A time of year usually reserved for amateur car rallies, a last look at a vintage car show in New England, apple picking with some wine tasting in the townships, and of course leaf peeping in the Laurentians. I usually save this time of year to bring you a roadster or two but this year I’ve had so much fun with the two sedans featured here that I just had to include them as best picks for hitting autumn’s open road. Oh and of course you can bring another couple along for the fun.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Autobahn: the original hot hatch offers more than performance.

Every once in a while I come across a car that fits me like the proverbial glove, a vehicle that just feels right. Volkswagen’s Golf GTI is one such vehicle. The original hot hatch instills sporty performance, comfort and practicality but there are a number of features that separates it from other hot hatches, first and foremost is its overall feel. It’s quality personified, German engineering at a bargain price. Plant your butt in the Recaro buckets and your thighs and ribs are cradled in a way few other cars in this price range… and for that matter many pricier cars do. The thick leather steering wheel feels like you’re in control long before you even turn the ignition on.

The GTI takes the practicality and roominess of the Golf, tosses out the 1.8L four cylinder and replaces it with a 220 horsepower 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder, ten more than last year. Even better, it pumps out a whopping 258 lb-ft of torque that peaks at a low 1500 rpm so, yes it sends you back in the seat. Cosmetically the GTI adds a more aggressive front fascia in keeping with its persona that is highlighted by its trademark red stripe on the grille, and dual exhaust. If you miss the GTI badging, red brake calipers easily set it apart from the run of the mill Golf.

Two trim levels are offered starting with the base GTI at a very reasonable $30,595 equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and the trademark plaid seating. The upscale Autobahn starts at $35,895 My Autobahn came with the same plaid seating (thankfully) which is a no cost option over the standard leather units, and the 6-speed automatic DSG. More on this $1400 option later.

The Autobahn package replaces the base car’s 17 inch tire/wheel combo with 18 inch units, an 8.0”high rez touchscreen to support the nav, cd player and other infotainment paraphernalia that we’ve come to expect from today’s rides. It is one of the most user- friendly multimedia systems on the market. Take note Honda. An 8-speaker Fender Premium Audio System with a subwoofer is included for those times you want to listen to your favorite songs instead of the sweet melody of the powerplant. Additionally, the Autobahn buyer gets LED headlights with adaptive front lights that steer into the turn as well as a panoramic sunroof. My tester also came with the $1750 Driver Assistance Package that includes adaptive cruise, blind spot and rear traffic alert, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection and park assist.

Aside from the usual audio adjustments, nav controls, the infotainment screen also lets you know how much boost the turbo is churning out and even how many g’s you’re pulling on acceleration or in a corner. OK that last one may be a little mickey-mouse.

Rear seat passengers will profit from the straight roof with ample headroom and there’s enough (22.8 cu.ft.) luggage space with the rear seats up to carry a weekend’s worth of luggage for four to your destination and 53 cubic feet with the rear bench folded. And getting to the destination is what the GTI excels in.

On the road

Now in its seventh generation, the refinements just keep coming. Drivers will appreciate the larger brakes pirated from the Golf R parts bin. I didn’t experience any brake fade through my trip in the back roads of Quebec’s Laurentians and managed to scare the heck out of a Boxster driver, that ‘s how flat this car handles. If there was a weak link, it was the all-season rubber more tuned for a family sedan than a performance car.

The 6-speed dual clutch DSG automatic is a wonderful piece of engineering with launch control that will propel you down the road faster than any manual transmission, no matter how quick your shifting skills. There’s also the ability to go through the gears manually on the steering column mounted paddles. The GTI also features four driving modes, Eco, normal, sport and custom. Switch modes and both throttle and steering input response changes. I question however why the Eco mode, which lessens throttle response to the point of blandness, and makes the steering too light, why VW would include it in a car known for performance. Besides I still managed average 7L/100km even with my spirited drives.

Electronically controlled limited slip differential helps you around the essess making an already great handler that much better.

But don’t think that for a moment the car’s performance suspension jars your spine. Even in Sport mode the GTI’s ride is comfortable, soaking up all but the biggest road imperfections.

Not all is perfect

Sadly, not all is perfect in the Land of Oz, and neither is the GTI. The sunroof in my tester had an annoying squeak and the DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox), as good as it is, would shut the engine off at red lights. Forcing me to restart the car manually as the stop/start feature deactivated. Volkswagen is already thinking of dropping the DSG trans because of complaints of hesitation when the light turns green – something I discovered is remedied by leaving it in manual mode. Lastly the tire pressure monitoring system kicked in with an erroneous low tire warning – a common ailment.

The verdict

Tough choice between the base car and the Autobahn, but having spent a week with the Autobahn, I would have to opt for the upscale model and forego the $1400 DSG. Regular readers know I’m biased towards manuals and with a car that’s as communicative as the GTI, the manual would just be that much more seductive.

The Golf offers mature styling, combing luxury, performance and agile handling like no other hot hatch. No wonder it has such a big following. Oh and while your spouse might say no way to many performance vehicles, the GTI may just be the wolf in sheep’s clothing to get you to live your dream.

Price as tested: $39,045*

Still not enough power? There’s always the 292 horsepower all-wheel-drive Golf R…. it’s only money.

* Dealer prep and destination fees not included

Kia Stinger GT Limited: Kia’s big gamble brings big smiles

Suddenly the purveyor of sensible, economical, compact sedans and SUVs, Kia, has gone ape sh…oops, stir crazy and released a sedan that goes against everything it’s been known for and in the process released a performance sedan that I haven’t had this much fun with since my first time behind the steering wheel of Porsche’s Panamera. Ya, it’s that good.

Like the GTI, you just want to drive this car. Forget about the available 255 hp, 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder available in the base GT Line, the 3.3L twin turbo V6 mill is what your soul wants.

You might laugh when I tell you that the Stinger is touted as Korea’s answer to BMW’s 3-Series, but stay tuned and you’ll see why it’s not that insane of a claim. Penned by the same man that designed the Audi TT and the ’97 VW Golf, Peter Schreyer, the Stinger brings Teutonic design and engineering to the masses at affordable prices.

While the Stinger is available in either rear or all-wheel-drive elsewhere in the world, we Canucks only get the all-wheel-drive version. Available in three different trim levels beginning with the base GT Line which other than the 2.0L four includes Kia’s usual array of more bang for your buck - like leather seating, 18” wheels, 7” infotainment screen and a wireless phone charger for the paltry sum of $41, 895. Next up the corporate ladder is the GT adding the deliciously quick 3.3L GDI twin turbo V6, Brembo brakes, 19”Michelin performance rubber, dynamic stability control and a full-width sunroof. The GT Limited adds premium Nappa leather seating, heads up display, a 15-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, eight-inch infotainment screen with multimedia interface and nav.

Schreyer has moved up the ranks in Kia from designer to president. It’s easy to say that the Stinger is his baby and you can see his signature touches in things like the flat bottom steering wheel.

The end result is an edgy four-door grand touring sedan yet mature enough not to be mistaken for something out of a video game. There’s not a bad angle to the car but my personal favorite has to be the three quarter rear view, an angle that most other drivers will see. Schreyer’s design successfully combines luxury touches with sporty and stylish accents. Incorporating a high opening hatch to the family sedan eases access to the 23.3 cu.ft of cargo space in what otherwise would have been a miniscule trunk opening.

Sit in the cockpit and you’re surrounded by metal, leather, plastic, but it all works. Schreyer’s love of airplanes is evident with the round aviation style vents on the dash and aluminum accents. Like the Sorento I reported on a couple of months ago, the Stinger’s interior is slick. The tilt and telescopic heated steering wheel has a memory feature found in pricier cars.

Luxury accouterments include air-cooled/heated Nappa leather front seats, heated rear seats, wireless cell charging, 360 degree camera system, as well as the usual gamut of items we find in today’s cars like lane keep, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. The Stinger has the largest front seat passenger legroom I’ve seen in a very long time – think limo rear seat. Even with the front buckets pushed all the way back, the back seat still offers the adults in the back ample legroom but headroom is tight.

The open road

We’re talking autumn drives and the Kia surprises and feeds every sense of the driving experience. Schreyer saw a vision for Kia and he brought in ex BMW M Division boss, Albert Biermann to perform his magic on the Stinger.

Mr. Biermann’s input can be seen in the adrenaline inducing performance goodies which include items that are familiar to the Bavarian marque, like big Brembo brakes, 225/40R19 Michelin performance rubber and hi-performance shocks. The Stinger GT is the company’s first car to feature a continuously adaptive suspension system.

Yes we’re not getting the rear-wheel drive car but the good news is that this all-wheel-driver is rear-wheel drive biased so you can still toss the rear out, but the awd system will kick in and transfer up to 50% of the available torque to the front wheels when the need arises, so it’ll keep you out of trouble and make you look good in front of your friends.

The 8-speed automatic (with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel) is one of the smoothest quick shifting trannys going. Whether your climbing a steep grade, coming down the same grade, exiting the highway or accelerating to pass a slow semi, this tranny doesn’t miss a beat.

Set the launch control and the 376 lb-ft of torque will rocket you from zero to 100km just shy of 5 seconds, that’s faster than the V6 Porsche Panamera and the heads up display will keep you informed without taking your eyes off the road. Like the GTI, the Stinger’s Sport mode offers quick acceleration and crisp handling while not sacrificing anything in terms of cabin comfort. Steering is nicely weighted and the car has a nearly 50/50 weight balance thanks to the bulk of V6 being mounted longtitudely aft of the front axle.

This thing feels like a much smaller car, its agile, crisp and light on its feet. It corners flat and takes everything that you can throw at it and comes back for more. Oh the large scoops flanking the grille and the vents behind the front wheels aren’t cosmetic, they’re open to let fresh air in and hot air to cool the big Brembos and keep fade to a minimum, not that I experienced any on my road trips.

The verdict

Affordable performance sedan isn’t an oxymoron any more. Kia has successfully managed to bring us German engineering and upped the ante for other manufacturers to give us affordable performance sedans. The affordability doesn’t end at the dealer; my fuel bill showed I averaged a very impressive 9.0L/100km with mostly highway travel.

Kia is gambling a lot on getting enthusiasts to take them as a serious performance/grand touring car company. The Stinger has won accolades from around the globe and rightfully so. Those of you who are still skeptics need only remember that it wasn’t too long ago that we never thought Toyota or Honda would be in the luxury car business going up against the likes of Mercedes. Stopping at the local shopping mall I was mauled by twenty something’s who wanted a closer look at the car.

“There’s a guy with a white one that works down the street and I saw another red yesterday.” It seems the younger generation is open minded to a Kia performance sedan and I’d be proud to have the Stinger in my driveway.

If you’re looking for driving excitement and have been visiting Acura, Audi, Lexus and Porsche dealerships, do yourself and your family a favor and run don’t walk to you Kia dealership. Oh and did I mention the …warranty.

Go ahead and book that weekend getaway in the Presidential Mountains of New England, you’ve got a great excuse to go.

Price as tested: $51,855*

*Includes freight, colour charge, and A/C tax

Oh and if you bring the kiddies to school, you’ll be the coolest mom and dad in the world pulling up in either of these rides.

2018 VW Jetta Redesign and Price

2018 VW Jetta Redesign – The actual VW Jetta is one in all the majorities of versatile sedans as a result of includes excellent performance, comfort and defrayal budget luxury. rather like nearly eachthing in every space of your life, the Jetta has received higher over the years and has managed its originality. The manufacturer offers designed a brand new version of the VW Jetta that’s the bulk of waited within the vehicle marketplace. The 2018 VW Jetta can keep company with a mirrored image related to high-end quality German expert due to the good attention provided to detail and also the turbo beaked choice for the engine of the sedan.

2018 vw jetta

The 2018 VW Jetta is predicted to become the top-selling German foreign automobile within the u. s. market. this can be reckoning on statistics of quality that is already receiving abundant interest by the engineers. The automobile is truly expected to come back in trims that embrace the GLI, Sport, SEL, SE and S versions. of those models, the shoppers can have a variety of choices to have faith in basing their judgments upon luxury options, performance moreover as worth.

2018 VW Jetta Exterior

Pertaining to the 2018 VW Jetta Exterior it’s thought of to take care of its nice look and ne’er abundant of enhancements area unit expected. the complete look are going to be gaudy moreover as sleek which is able to attract way more purchasers for the vehicle.

2018 VW Jetta Interior

The majority of today’s compact sedans embrace VW Jetta interiors with overstrung shapes and accents, an affordable level of quality merchandise, and lots of school functions, all that interest the young purchasers United Nations agency area unit drawn to those cars. By comparison, the cabin of the Jetta appearance very commonplace and feels alittle inexpensive. The lower trim levels area unit curst powerful, shiny plastic, that has truly complete up being a issue of the past from different complete names apart from for the foremost price-conscious styles. Competitors like the Honda Civic, Mazda 3 also because the Volkswagen Golf hatchback deal a lot of appealing, higher-quality, soft-touch interiors.

2018 vw jetta interior

The 2018 Jetta will qualify well in innovation. There area unit a pair of offered touchscreen sizes, Apple CarPlay and humanoid Automobile sensible device combination, and VW’s own suite of connected edges and services. The interface is sharp, straightforward to utilize, and currently uses a basic USB port for a wired transportable affiliation. Audiophiles can price the aptitude of the stereo to play FLAC-type music files.

When it considerations interior space, the Jetta shines. The rear seat’s intensive measurements overshadow those of just about every compact sedan and hatchback, consisting of the VW Golf, whereas the trunk volume of fifteen.5 cubiform feet competitors that of even midsize sedans. the inside makes the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta an excellent choice if you’ll ignore some chintzy product work and price the hundreds of elbow area

2018 VW Jetta Engine Performance

No main info have truly been equipped as way as powertrains. in contrast to the previous generation, it seems presumably that successive Jetta won’t use a diesel alternative following a major emissions scandal unconcealed in 2015. VW states it’ll not market diesels to the exact same degree as within the past and can invest greatly within the advancement of plug-in electrical styles. Specifications for the Jetta have not been released, it’s an great bet that the auto can build use of turbocharging to fulfill competitive federal fuel economic system objectives.

2018 vw jetta engine

The present Jetta utilizes a one.4-liter turbo as its base engine, manufacturing one hundred fifty power unit with 184 lb-ft of force. The mid-level engine may be a one.8-liter turbo creating a hundred and seventy power unit with 184 lb-ft of twist. The range-topping GLI style utilizes an even bigger a pair of.0-liter turbo manufacturing 210 power unit with 207 lb-ft. several variations of the Jetta featured a basic 5-speed manual transmission, but a 6-speed machine-controlled is quickly accessible. The GLI options a 6-speed enchiridion with the selection of a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch.

Reports recommend VW has truly been establishing a 10-speed dual-clutch transmission that may move even faster than the current DSG. There has truly been no main verification on whether or not or not the new Jetta can get this innovation, a minimum of in North America.

In regards to security, successive Jetta can seemingly embrace the entire sort of chauffeur facilitate innovation to equal rivals. The maker has truly been creating some daring bets during this arena, as well as sovereign emergency braking as a basic perform on the larger Passat for the 2018 style year. can successive Jetta see a comparable modification? That stays to be seen.

2018 VW Jetta Price and Release Date

We’re still a protracted means aloof from obtaining main rates for successive Jetta. despite obtaining a brand new platform, we tend to believe the chances prepared that VW Price can will keep entry costs listed below $20,000 to remain competitive.

The maker has truly been re-pricing cars throughout its lineup for the past variety of years, in several cases taking rates down by thousands. primarily based upon this overarching pattern, it’s an excellent bet that successive Jetta can bring AN appealing worth. We’ll hold off on an excessive amount of speculation.

VW hasn’t unconcealed a unleash date nevertheless for successive Jetta. At this point, we tend to anticipate a unleash at some purpose in late 2018. we are going to upgrade this page with the foremost recent info because it seems.

The 2018 VW Jetta boasts an oversized cabin and many of engine choices. different Jetta characteristics carries with it a vigorous engine lineup (for reward points, the bottom engine provides wonderful gas mileage) and an oversized interior that’s much as convenient as a midsize automobile. For the Jetta’s nearly $18,000 starting worth, you’re far better off selecting for one in all its higher-ranked competitors, just like the Golf or Civic, that strike the chords of exterior development that the vw Jetta misses out on.

2021 VW Jetta GLI wraps youthful performance in grown-up styling

2021 VW Jetta GLI wraps youthful performance in grown-up styling

The GLI is everything we love about the GTI in a Jetta-shaped wrapper.

Emme Hall/Roadshow

The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is what happens when a hot hatch grows up. This sporty sedan has all the trappings of its rowdy GTI sibling, packaged in a handsome, mature wrapper.

Excellent handling

Powerful turbo engine

Handsome design, if a bit dull

Don’t Like

Numb steering

Bad infotainment tech on the base trim

The GLI sets itself apart from the standard Jetta with larger air intakes, a low front spoiler and unique side skirts. The grille takes some styling cues from the GTI with its honeycomb pattern and classic red accent stripe. The GLI sits 0.6 inches lower to the ground than the standard Jetta and has a unique rear bumper and diffuser, as well as dual chrome exhaust tips. But even with these sporty touches, the GLI still slides under the radar.

The Jetta GLI is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 engine pushing out 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque — the same powertrain you’ll find in the GTI. The GLI comes with front-wheel drive, and while you can get a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, my tester has the six-speed manual. Score.

My Autobahn trim comes complete with the DCC adaptive damping system, with modes for Normal, Sport and Eco, as well as a Custom setting. DCC allows me to dial in that Custom configuration, with individual options for the damping, steering, drivetrain, engine sound, front differential and even climate controls.

However, I don’t think the Custom setting makes much of a difference. Despite trying out a bunch of different setups during my week with the car, the Normal and Sport modes work just fine. Much of my praise for the standard Sport setting is thanks to the limited-slip front differential that works with the GLI’s electronic differential lock. Torque goes to the front wheel with the most grip, there’s little to no understeer and wheelspin is nonexistent.

The 2.0-liter engine produces 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Emme Hall/Roadshow

The base Jetta gets an old-school torsion-beam rear suspension, but the GLI upgrades that hardware to a multilink independent setup. Combined with the GLI’s beefier roll bars and stiffer springs, this sedan is definitely ready to play. It swiftly settles after pavement undulations, coming out of an off-camber turn with nary a hair out of place. The steering is quick, direct and weighty, though it could use a bit more in the way of feedback. The 13.4-inch vented front brakes are lifted from the Golf R hatchback, paired with 11.8-inch diameter brakes in the rear. These stoppers are solid, although I wish the pedal’s engagement point was just a tad higher.

The GLI is a blast on backroads, but it’s fine for daily commuting, too. Standard on the GLI are advanced driver’s aids such as forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. My top-level Autobahn trim goes further with lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. Yes, adaptive cruise control works with a manual transmission, although only at higher speeds. There isn’t any kind of low-speed follow and once the GLI thinks it will stall, the system disengages and the driver takes over.

The Jetta GLI’s fuel economy is respectable, returning an EPA-estimated rating of 24 miles per gallon in the city, 33 mpg highway and 28 mpg combined. Even after a week of decidedly aggressive driving, I’m still able to hit that 28-mpg average.

The interior is mostly fine, but lacks visual flair.

Emme Hall/Roadshow

Inside, the GLI’s cabin tech is simple and straightforward. The standard infotainment setup uses a tiny 6.5-inch display, but the Autobahn bumps that up to a nicer 8.0-inch screen running VW’s latest MIB3 technology. This system can handle multiple Bluetooth phone pairings at once, and I love that the screen is angled towards the driver so it’s easy to see and reach. MIB3’s menus are laid out thoughtfully so there isn’t a big learning curve, either. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, and in addition to a wireless charging pad, there are three USB-C ports and a 12-volt outlet to keep your devices juiced.

The Autobahn trim has Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit, a 10-inch customizable gauge cluster that gives the driver all kinds of information like vehicle data, driver-assistance feature status and audio and phone access. It can also be customized with different designs, including a full-screen navigation view. It’s not quite as fancy-pants as Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, but it’s essentially the same idea, and one of my favorite car interior features.

The GLI Autobahn gets an 8-inch touchscreen.

Emme Hall/Roadshow

It’s a bit of a bummer that the GLI isn’t offered with any quirky interior design touches like the GTI hatchback’s plaid seats. All you’ll find here is black cloth or optional leather with contrasting red stitching. The Jetta at least has a 10-color LED ambient lighting system that coordinates with your selected driving mode: white for Normal, red for Sport and blue for Eco. If that doesn’t suit your mood, you can choose your own colors, as well.

Like the standard Jetta, the GLI’s interior materials are good but not great. Some of my colleagues lament the cheaper plastics and too-soft seats, especially since the GTI’s cabin feels more premium by comparison. The sedan’s trunk is fairly spacious at 14.1 cubic feet, and my 5-foot, 9-inch frame fits just fine in the rear seat — my knees don’t touch the front seatbacks and my head doesn’t brush the roof.

As far as competitors go, you can still snag a Honda Civic Si, or the all-wheel-drive Mazda3 Turbo is a good option, though it’s more expensive. The new Hyundai Elantra N Line has a little less power than the GLI, but it’s also offered with a manual transmission and has some seriously cool design. The Subaru WRX is another alternative, but it’s getting a little old, and the Jetta is a nicer all-around car.

The GLI certainly flies under the radar.

Emme Hall/Roadshow

The 2021 Jetta GLI starts at $27,340 including $995 for destination. The Autobahn is a $4,000 upcharge, and while I don’t think the customizable DCC chassis makes a big difference, the cabin tech is significantly better. All in, an Autobahn with the six-speed manual like this test car costs $32,335.

Of course, the GLI’s biggest competitor is the GTI sitting next to it in the VW showroom, and the Jetta undercuts its Golf equivalent by a few thousand dollars while still providing basically the same on-road thrills. The GTI’s hatchback design is a lot more practical, but the GLI feels like an altogether more grown-up package — though it’s still more than willing to get a little rowdy.

Today it’s both #MoparMonday and #MitsubishiMonday with this malaise-era rarity. Thanks to its (sometime contentious) partnership with Chrysler, In the USA Mitsubishi’s first Mirage was at first sold as the Dodge Colt and it’s much rarer sibling, the Plymouth Champ seen here. The badge lasted only four years, from 1979-82, before Plymouth labeled it a Colt as well. The Colt and Champ were pure badge engineering exercises and the cars strictly economy jobs by Americans, but globally it was a bit different. The Mk1 Mirage was an important car for Mitsu and a sophisticated and good looking one. It was Mitsubishi’s first front-driver and a prodigious budget went towards creating a template for future small Mitsus. Mitsubishi began fwd research as early as 1970, but accelerated its program after the smash hit debuts of the Fiat 127, Honda Civic, and Renault 5, according to then automotive VP and product planning chief Yukichi Mochida. OPEC made efficiency even more pressing, but to give the car broader appeal, the car would be a ‘tweener, closer in size to the VW Golf but not quite as big. Project leader Keiichi Kisuna gave both engineers and stylists wide latitude, and MANY concepts were tried, though they were all 2-box hatches. Early interior prototypes resembled things that might be seen on a Citroën, complete with one-spoke steering wheels. The exterior went through dozens of treatments, one of which looked like a squashed Porsche 924. Ultimately they settled on the handsome, slim-pillared look seen here, though it was less adventurous than some of the ideas. Underneath it used front struts and a rear U-type trailing arm suspension for sharp handling, and new driveline architecture put the existing 4G engines (USA version got the 1.4, 1.6, and in 1984-only, the 1.4 turbo) in transversely. The most interesting detail was the “Super Shift” transmission, called “Twin stick” in the USA. Essentially it was a 4-speed with an overdrive on every gear actuated by a second lever for 8 speeds, though it was hard to use all 8 in sequence. Still, it was stylish, innovative, roomy, and got good MPG. The Colt was a good seller and so was the Mirage in global markets.

Gol 2013: detalhes, preço, motor, consumo, ficha técnica, fotos

O Gol 2013 recebeu atualização em 2012, sendo esta não considerada pela Volkswagen como sendo uma geração, mas apenas uma renovação visual, contudo, a rede de concessionárias “batizou-a” de VW Gol G6.

Lançado em 2008, o Gol G5 foi a maior mudança pela qual o campeão de vendas da VW passou em seus 40 anos de mercado brasileiro. Originalmente apresentado em 1980, o hatch demorou 14 anos para mudar de geração (G2).

Depois, recebeu um facelift mais intenso, que foi considerado pela marca como uma geração, embora não fosse (G3). Tempos depois, houve uma simplificação antes da terceira geração de fato (G4), que estendeu a vida desse até 2013.

Então, o G5 ficou pelo menos quatro anos sem renovação até que surgiu essa G6, que a VW simplesmente batizou de “Gol”. Existe ainda outra atualização, que chama de G7.

No Gol 2013, as mudanças deixaram o produto no mesmo padrão visual do portfólio global da Volkswagen, adicionando novos faróis duplos, grade mais retangular, lanternas repaginadas e mudanças leves no painel, assim como nos bancos.

Os para-choques foram atualizados, assim como a tampa do bagageiro. Outra mudança foi a introdução da carroceria de duas portas, que foi uma tentativa da marca de substituir o Golf G4, que não passaria de 2013, por causa da segurança.

Essa atualização também adicionou equipamentos novos, bem como promoveu alterações mecânicas, como o motor 1.0 “VHT”, apelidado pela marca de “TEC”, ficando 4% mais econômico, ampliando para 8% no kit BlueMotion.

Já o 1.6 VHT seguiu sem alterações, mantendo ainda a oferta do câmbio automatizado ASG da Magneti Marelli, que equipava as versões I-Motion. A transmissão manual MQ200 era comum aos dois motores.

Na mudanças do Gol 2013, a frente recebeu faróis com dupla parábola, dando ao carro um visual mais consistente. A grade ficaria mais retilínea e o logotipo da VW sobressaía sobre ela.

O para-choque ficou mais fluido e com a base numa moldura única, que trazia grade preta e faróis de neblina quadrados. Além disso, novas rodas de liga leve aros 14 e 15 polegadas foram inseridas, bem como calotas nas rodas de aço.

Na traseira, o para-choque ganhou refletores, enquanto a tampa do bagageiro adicionou vincos e um corte diferente no acabamento, harmonizando com as lanternas novas, que mantiveram o formato, mas ficaram com superfície retangular.

Por dentro, o Gol 2013 teve o painel em dois tons de cinza na versão Power e monocromático nas demais e recebeu novas tampas estilizadas nos difusores de ar. O ar condicionado ganhou botões redesenhados.

Um novo sistema de áudio foi adicionado com display integrado, trazendo ainda um grafismo diferenciado e animação com a funcionalidade do sensor de estacionamento, chamado Park Pilot.

O Gol ganhou ainda limpador do para-brisa com aerowisher e o kit BlueMotion, que consistia em pneus de baixa resistência à rolagem 175/70 R14, indicador de mudança de marcha e medidor de consumo instantâneo.

Havia ainda o Eco Comfort, outra novidade, que foi inserida no computador de bordo, recomendando ações para evitar desperdício de combustível, como fechar as janelas com ar condicionado ligado ou não acelerar em situações inoportunas.

O Gol 2013 também adicionou mais itens de série, como por exemplo, vidros dianteiros e travas elétricas de série, além de banco do motorista com ajuste de altura e abertura elétrica do porta-malas.

As mudanças no Gol ajudaram o modelo em vendas, porém, não foram suficientes para que ele pudesse se manter como líder de mercado, perdendo inicialmente para o Fiat Palio e depois para o Chevrolet Onix.

Versões como Rallye e Track surgiram no modelo 2014, assim como outras opções posteriores. O Gol trocaria ainda o motor 1.0 TEC pelo EA211 1.0 MPI, assim como ganharia ainda um EA211 1.6 16V com até 120 cavalos e opção I-Motion.

Haveria ainda mais mudanças no Gol, como atualização “G7” e o novo painel, semelhante ao da Saveiro. Mais moderno, ganharia suporte para celular e multimídia com Android Auto e CarPlay.

Também receberia pela primeira vez uma transmissão automática Tiptronic de seis marchas e conversor de torque, trazendo de volta o motor 1.6 16V de até 120 cavalos.

Com produção estendida até pelo menos 2022 ou 2023, o Gol G5 poderá alcançar 15 anos na terceira geração, antes do fim, quando será substituído por um crossover compacto de acesso.

Gol 2013 – detalhes

Visualmente, o Gol 2013 era mais moderno que o anterior, tendo frente com faróis duplos com máscara negra, além de lanternas e piscas integrados. A grade era em preto brilhante com logotipo da VW ampliado.

O para-choque tinha moldura inferior contínua com acabamento preto e faróis de neblina quadrados e frisos cromados. As rodas de liga leve aro 14 polegadas tinham desenho que lembrava lâminas e as de aro 15 polegadas eram diamantadas.

Os pneus eram 175/70 R14, mas havia opção de modelo de baixa resistência à rolagem, para economia de combustível. Na versão Power, os pneus eram 195/55 R15 para melhor desempenho.

Os retrovisores tinham repetidores de direção na Power, enquanto os limpadores de para-brisa eram aerodinâmicos. Maçanetas e retrovisores eram na cor do carro, assim como defletor de ar sobre a tampa do bagageiro.

No teto, havia uma antena pouco pronunciada. Na traseira, as lanternas foram repaginadas e ganharam nova iluminação, com a tampa recebendo dois vincos na base. A vigia vinha com limpador e lavador, assim como desembaçador.

O escape tinha ponteira cromada na versão Power. Dentro, o Gol 2013 tinha painel com tom de cinza mais claro na parte superior e bem mais escuro abaixo. Difusores de ar circulares tinham detalhes cromados.

O cluster analógico tinha iluminação vermelha e trazia velocímetro, nível de combustível, temperatura da água e conta-giros. Trazia ainda display digital com Eco Comfort e funcionalidades do kit BlueMotion.

No centro do painel, havia ainda botões para os vidros elétricos traseiros, bem como para abertura do porta-malas. O rádio integrado tinha 1din e vinha com display digital que reproduzia o Park Pilot.

Tinha Bluetooth, USB, auxiliar e CD player, tendo ainda comandos de mídia e telefonia no volante multifuncional, que tinha ajuste de altura e trazia também piloto automático nas versões I-Motion e na Power.

As portas tinham acabamento em tecido escurecido e maçanetas de cor cinza, com ajustes elétricos dos retrovisores junto à ela, bem como apenas comandos dos vidros elétricos dianteiros.

O banco do motorista tinha ajuste em altura, assim como os cintos de segurança dianteiros. Os bancos tinham nova padronagem e podiam ser em couro de dois tons na versão Power.

Atrás, o banco era inteiriço e com dois apoios de cabeça, além de cintos de segurança de 3 pontos nas laterais. O central era subabdominal. O banco eram rebatível, ampliando os 285 litros do porta-malas.

Havia alças no teto, assim como luzes de leitura, iluminação geral, espelhos iluminados nos para-sóis e retrovisor interno dia e noite. Já o porta-malas tinham luz interna e forração em carpete.

Gol 2013 – motor

O Gol 2013 era equipado com dois motores, ambos da família EA111, fabricada em São Carlos, interior de São Paulo. O compacto da VW era equipado com os propulsores 1.0 TEC e 1.6 VHT.

Essencialmente, ambos eram da mesma família, mas o 1.0 VHT recebeu algumas modificações para ficar 4% mais econômico. Isso se deu no retrabalho das sedes de válvulas, assim como anéis, pistões e bielas.

O óleo lubrificante também foi alterado para uma viscosidade menor, reduzindo o esforço do motor em girar e perder força. As modificações feitas providenciaram um aumento no rendimento do motor, mas foram parte de um processo.

O outro era o kit BlueMotion, que consistia em pneus de baixa resistência à rolagem, além de indicador de mudança de marcha e medidor de consumo instantâneo.

Com esse pacote adicional, o Gol 2013 ficou 8% mais econômico. Tendo quatro cilindros em linha num bloco de alumínio, o EA111 1.0 TEC (Tecnologia de Economia de Combustível) tinha cabeçote em alumínio com comando único.

Empregando duas válvulas por cilindro e sem variação, o propulsor de 999 cm3 e taxa de compressão de 12,7:1, entregava os mesmos 72 cavalos na gasolina e 76 cavalos no etanol, ambos a 5.250 rpm.

O torque era de 9,7 kgfm no primeiro e 10,6 kgfm no segundo, ambos a 3.850 rpm. Com injeção eletrônica multiponto sequencial, o 1.0 TEC tinha ainda tecnologia flex com injeção de gasolina na partida a freio com etanol.

Esse propulsor surgiu no final dos anos 90 e passou a equipar o Gol e outros produtos da marca, chegando mesmo a ganhar uma versão 1.0 16V e 1.0 16V Turbo, este último com nada menos que 112 cavalos e 15,8 kgfm.

Foi substituído no Gol G7 pelo EA211 1.0 MPI de 75 cavalos na gasolina e 84 cavalos no etanol, conferindo mais desempenho e economia ao best seller da VW.

Já o 1.6 VHT é outro propulsor que fora atualizado no Gol G5, tendo uma grande força em baixa rotação, algo comparado em rotação a um motor maior, como o EA113 2.0.

Com a mesma arquitetura e dotado de comando acionado por correia dentada, o 1.6 8V Flex ainda é produzido e se mantém no Gol atual, tendo 1.598 cm3 e 12,1:1, entregando 101 cavalos na gasolina e 104 cavalos no etanol, a 5.250 rpm.

Já o torque era um pouco mais baixo, tendo 15,2 kgfm no derivado de petróleo e 15,4 kgfm no combustível vegetal, ambos a baixos 2.500 rpm. Essa característica se deve às bielas longas, que geram um curso maior no motor.

Além disso, com apenas duas válvulas, o motor tem mais pressão em baixa que numa rotação mais elevada, quando um propulsor 16V rende muito mais. Contudo, esse motor não era assim originalmente.

Estreando no Golf nacional em 1998, o EA111 1.6 8V tinha os mesmos 101 cavalos atuais, mas com um torque bem menor, em torno de 14,3 kgfm. Ele foi usado assim até meados dos anos 2000, quando recebeu a designação VHT.

Considerado um motor bem robusto, o EA111 ainda se mantém não só no Gol, mas também no Voyage, Fox e a Saveiro. Foi usado também na SpaceFox, Polo e Polo Sedan antigos, bem como no Polo Classic argentino e Audi A3 nacional.

O Gol 2013 era equipado com a transmissão manual de cinco marchas MQ200, bem como a versão automatizada do mesmo, com sistema chamado ASG, desenvolvido pela Magneti Marelli.

O sistema consiste em um atuador eletro-mecânico, que aciona o varão de engate de marchas e o cabo da embreagem no momento certo da troca. Gerenciado por uma central eletrônica, o ASG permitia fazer a operação de forma automática.

Era possível ainda fazê-lo de forma manual através da alavanca ou paddle shifts no volante. Ele mede a velocidade, curso do pedal de acelerador e outros dados para fazer a troca.

Também tinha o modo Sport, que esticava mais as marchas e deixava o giro do motor mais alto, para prover retomadas melhores. O problema desse tipo de sistema automatizado era o “buraco” entre as trocas, já que existe perda nas trocas.

Em carros manuais, o condutor já espera essa perda de giro e força nas trocas, mas é algo que ele está acostumado e espera que ocorra. No automatizado é diferente, já que o motorista não pode controlar essa perda com a embreagem.

Então, essa sensação é criticada geralmente por quem adquiriu um carro assim. No câmbio puramente automático, isso não é percebido, pois existe uma compensação, assim como no sistema de dupla embreagem, onde não existe perda.

O Gol usou o sistema I-Motion nos modelos G5 e G6, sendo que o G7 aposentou essa opção e adotou o AQ250, uma transmissão automática de seis marchas com sistema Tiptronic e conversor de torque, também com paddle shifts.

Desempenho

Volkswagen Gol 1.0 – 12,9 segundos e 165 km/h

Volkswagen Gol 1.6 – 9,8 segundos e 190 km/h

Volkswagen Gol 1.6 I-Motion – 10,4 segundos e 190 km/h

Consumo

Volkswagen Gol 1.0 – 7,7/9,6 km/l e 11,6/13,9 km/l

Volkswagen Gol 1.6 – 7,3/9,4 km/l e 10,7/13,7 km/l

Volkswagen Gol 1.6 I-Motion – 7,3/9,5 km/l e 10,7/13,6 km/l

Gol 2013 – manutenção e revisão

A Volkswagen tem agora um plano de revisão para os carros atuais que consiste em paradas programadas a cada 12 meses ou 10.000 km. Antes, como no caso do Gol 2013, o tempo da primeira era de seis meses.

No site da VW , os valores para o Gol 2013 não existem, sendo necessário uma consulta à rede Volkswagen. Os preços abaixo são para o Gol a partir de 2016, com um custo até que abaixo da média: R$ 2.788,04 até 60.000 km.

Nas revisões, a rede VW inspeciona diversos itens dos carros, como parte elétrica, direção, suspensão, freios, carroceria e parte mecânica. No serviço de revisão, são substituídos óleo do motor, filtro do óleo, filtro de ar do motor e velas.

Também são trocados o filtro de ar da cabine, filtro de combustível, correia em V, correia dentada, fluido de freio, fluido de direção hidráulica, entre outros, bem como recomendação para troca de pastilhas e/ou discos, pneus e amortecedores.

Revisão 10.000 km 20.000 km 30.000 km 40.000 km 50.000 km 60.000 km Total 1.0 R$ 228,19 R$ 267,49 R$ 532,89 R$ 613,29 R$ 401,09 R$ 745,09 R$ 2.788,04 1.6 R$ 228,19 R$ 267,49 R$ 532,89 R$ 613,29 R$ 401,09 R$ 745,09 R$ 2.788,04
