    A lot. A GLS is just a regular Jetta. It's usually a 1.8t but can be cloth, leather etc. It looks like pretty much every jetta you see. A GLI(04.5+) is a 1.8 turbo, has 18 inch BBS wheels, Recaro Seats, painted front and rear lip, side skirts, 6 speed transmission. A 01-03 GLI also is 6 speed, but its a VR6 engine, and it looks like pretty much any old jetta with a few extra standard features.

    (I am assuming you are talking Mk4's.)

    You forgot to mention that the Early mk4 GLI VR6 is the 24V, the same engine as the R32. Not the regular old 12V VR6
