Best car purchase I have ever had
I recently bought a new 2022 Tiguan. Best SUV I could have ever purchased. it was great right when i walked into the show room with my trade and buying my new car. it was an easy smooth process from John the salesman and Eddie from finance made everything easy to understand and drive off with my new car.

Always entertaining to drive, accommodating rear seat and trunk, costs less than the hatchback GTI. Smooth cars fast and Comfortable. Along with being more affordable and The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI has the same amazing driving attributes that make the Golf GTI a smash hit, and that earned it an Editors' Choice award. Although the hatchback has a nicer interior, it's actually the sedan that's more practical, thanks to its roomier back seat and bigger trunk. Both VWs boast a potent 228-hp turbocharged four-cylinder that mates to either an engaging manual transmission or a quicker-shifting automatic. The having a bigger back seat, the Jetta GLI sedan has the same performance acumen as the Golf GTI hatchback.

sale person very friendly and professional 100% happy i will recommend the deeler for the future
A performance bargain
Traded from a 2020 base Jetta which was impressive for being a base car. The GLI for what you pay and for what you get is a true masterpiece of a car. Most car reviewers have praised the interior, the handling, the drive, the power overall the whole driving experience you get with the venerable Golf GTI you get here. And they are right yes something like the Veloster N has more Power but it will never have the refinement of a German engineered driving machine. After all it's still a Hyundai what more can be said.

A GTI for adults
I really wanted a GTI but realized I needed something a bit more passenger friendly and, voila! the Jetta GLI. Everything the GTI has, but a little more grown-up. Importantly (for me) the GLI has some of the tech that won't be in the GTI (digital dash) until 2022. Got the Autobahn version, which is loaded with everything you could possibly want (including a phone charger pad) in red and couldn't be happier. It is fast and a complete blast to drive. I hesitate to say a poor man's Audi, but there it is. Yes, VW did cost cut a bit over the GTI - no passenger power seats or manual height adjustment. The upholstery isn't GTI cool, but the bang for buck is unquestionable. Back seat is surprisingly large and the trunk is ample. It's truly an unassuming pocket rocket that makes me smile every time I drive it. What more could you ask?

Adrian Hernandez was my sales agent and he was wonderful.
Adrian Hernandez was my sales agent and he was wonderful. Not high pressure! Listened closely to what I wanted and gave me 2 different options that were very close to what I stated. Very thorough and was a lessive to work with. I didn’t intend to buy for another month or so, but was so pleased with what I drove that I bought later that day! Joseph Rossman was excellent in helping me learn about my new Outback! First time Subaru owner. Had trouble getting garage door opener to sync so he even came to my house. Very patient and made himself available.
A lot of fun for the money
The Canadian GLI is only sold in the Autobahn version and packs a lot of value and automotive fun into a very usable sport sedan. The level of driving exhilaration, comfort and convenience features availableat this price point is very hard to beat and the available 6 speed is excellent ,coupled to a smoothly engaging clutch. Some have complained about the exterior styling but I prefer the understated, non pretentious statement this car makes in contrast to some Asian offerings that feature Star Wars styling and offer anemic performance. If you love acceleration, flat cornering, and a secure sense on winding roads the GLI will not disappoint.

I just got a 2021 Toyota Sienna from driven auto even though I live in Minnesota. Comparing the price it’s about 4-5k less from where I live which was concern me about the quality of the car. Big thank you to Basil for helping me testing out the car and the honest feedback, the car is in excellent condition 10 out of 10. Also to Jim doing a great job answering all my questions financing the car, and have it shipped to me earlier than I expected. I definitely going to get another car from here.

I would recommend this place
I was interested in a suv I called on a regular to ask questions and got answers Charlie was very helpful he seemed to be pretty honest I went there from Washington DC to see the vehicle but didn’t have time to really check it out when I drove it I felt a little vibration and was told it was the tires because it had been sitting so I decided to pass because it wasn’t a warranty and I had to get back to DC didn’t want to take any chances otherwise I had a good experience dealing with Charlie I just wish I could’ve had more time to check it out if I can get someone to go back to check it out I might go back to buy it or if they would put new tires on it to assure me that it’s just the tires one other thing I had to find a bank to purchase a cashiers check because they didn’t finance out of state that was what took up a lot of my time I’d also like to say I wasn’t pressured in any kinda way like big dealers Charlie was very patient
