The new 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI has undergone a complete redesign and is aimed directly at buyers wanting a comfortable four-door compact combined with European ride and handling. A 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine produces 200 horsepower and 207 lb.-ft. of torque, producing plenty of punch throughout the rev range. Standard on the Jetta GLI is a six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) manual transmission. DSG is a true manual but without a clutch, so it operates like an automatic while giving the driver the ability to shift via paddles mounted on the steering wheel.
