How the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Compares With Competitors

The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta GLI starts at $23,945, with MSRP excluding tax, title, registration and dealer fees. Its 200-hp engine, front-wheel drive, premium unleaded recommendation, and 22 to 24 city MPG and 32 to 33 highway MPG create a useful starting point for comparing similarly sized sedans.

The Jetta GLI starts at $23,945, while the 2013 Buick Verano starts at $23,080. The GLI offers 200 hp and premium unleaded, while the Verano lists 180–250 hp and Flex-Fuel (Unleaded/E85) / Premium Unleaded (Recommended); shoppers focused on entry price, fuel flexibility, or a broader horsepower range may weigh those differences differently.

The Jetta GLI lists 22 to 24 city MPG and 32 to 33 highway MPG with front-wheel drive, while the 2013 Subaru Impreza lists 27 city / 36 hwy, all-wheel drive, and regular unleaded. The Impreza may appeal to shoppers prioritizing the quoted fuel figures and all-wheel-drive configuration, while the GLI suits buyers considering its 200-hp powertrain and premium-fuel recommendation.

The Jetta GLI starts at $23,945 and uses front-wheel drive, while the 2013 Honda Civic starts at $19,765 and lists 110–201 hp, 22–44 city / 31–44 hwy, and front-wheel drive. The Civic's wider quoted economy and pricing range may matter to efficiency- or budget-focused shoppers, while the GLI's 200-hp specification may matter to those comparing performance-oriented sedans.

What to Weigh Before Buying

Trim selection changes the transmission, fuel-economy figures, and acceleration figures across the Jetta GLI range. The PZEV trim uses an automated-manual transmission, while the Autobahn and Autobahn PZEV trims use a manual transmission.

Fuel planning is another practical consideration because premium unleaded is recommended. The sedan's 15.5 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats provides a clear reference point for shoppers balancing passenger use with everyday carrying needs.
