Jetta GLI vs. Audi A4

[Ed Gein]

only high school girls drive VWs

Says the guy with the GTI...

j/k I went from a 01 Jetta to a 97 Eclipse then got the a4 and I felt like my man card was re-issued

When i had a jetta I was reminded weekly that ................The Jetta is the most popular car within the San Fransisco community.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt the FWD A4 have a transverse 2.0T engine, just like the GLI?

Well, that depends on where you're standing.

we're talking about a GLI...HUGE difference between a standard MKV jetta. and the Recaro leather seats in the GLI blow the A4's out of the water. i don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. i own an MKV GLI and an audi, there are a ton of differences and yes the audi is of higher quality but the GLI stands alone for what it is. i'd say its better than the B7 A4 in many ways, and almost $20,000 less new!!!

The Audi A4 looks tougher, quicker and sexier just by standing still, no need to race, I'd go with the Audi. But if you really want beef, mod it !

Hmmmm don't know about that. I would put my money on the Prius.... although I'm sure that will change to the smart car soon since Prius is becoming to 'mainstream' to have 'hipster' appeal.....

Currently own a B7 A4 FWD and was wondering if someone could tell me what the major differences are.

The biggest difference is, one is an AUDI and the other is a VOLKSWAGEN.

Now there has been enough traffic that I can comment.

I went from a MKV GLI, see avatar, to my B7. Anyone that says the Audi is a better car is wrong. There are pluses and minuses on both sides. GLI was an absolute blast to drive, granted I had APR stage 2, DSG & Weitec suspension, but compared to my coilover'd Audi it was much more nimble. The Audi squeaks and rattles MORE than it did.

Now...is the Audi built better? That's arguable but I would say yes, but it was built for a different purpose. I miss the hell outta my VW but don't regret getting the Audi.

Those Jettas look like Corrolas though...
