I promised myself this year to see what all the hype around EVs is all about.

Heres everything I like and dont like about the Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobhan.

Meaning, it barely feels like a struggle going from a dead stop to cruising speed.

When it comes to fuel economy, I have to admit its not that bad given its all-gas power.

But of course, the VW’s performance eclipses Toyota’s by a huge margin.

Usually the fuel economy is worse on performance cars such as this, but it isnt.

Making matters worse is the grainy details and heavy noise that distorts the cameras view when its dark out.

Not really, but I do appreciate how the drivers seat at least has it.

It screams 80s aesthetics with its climate controls and air vents.
