 My previous car was a 2006 VW Jetta Value Edition so as I love VW's I knew what I was looking for.  The 2007 GLI version is just as solid a car on the road but the turbo makes it a little more fun.  My only complaint so far is fairly minor- there is a rattle in the trunk that I haven't been able to identify yet.  All in all I love my GLI and have gotten lots of compliments!
