"My new car, the VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI is fun to drive, easy to park, has lots of cargo space and is comfortable to ride in - but best of all I'm getting great gas mileage! Got 50 mpg the other day on the freeway!"

"I had a 2009 VW sportswagon 6-speed and I liked it but this 2012 is totally different. This car is fast, warms up quick in the winter. Only wish it wasn't such a smooth ride. I like a little stiffer ride but for those who like comfort the seats hold you well. Comes with just about all the bells and whistles and the steering wheel controls make life easy. the diesel is quiet and all you hear is the tuned exhaust=no smell. nice styling. The best bang for the buck."

"I bought my manual Sportawagen TDI in June. I've been VW guy for 10 years now and own Jetta Wagon for 10 years before and drove it for almost 200K without any major problems. New TDI gave me some trouble at the beginning. I stole car few times. But I think it is more my fault than car ( I use to drive gasoline car for too long). This one is different because of "drive by wire" and diesel at the same time. When engine is working at idle for some time and then you try to "step on gas" - it does not pick up right away and rather stall. Once I made adjustments to my driving habits - it is working fine. My fuel consumption is around 40 MPG or greater which is a wonderful with today?s prices. Another plus is power at lower rpm and great acceleration. You can feel when turbine is picking up... I hope that this car will serve me for another 10 years and 200K. I would recommend this car to everyone who is enjoying manual."

"Only had the car for about two months just started to break it in at 1000 miles. Interior design isnt the greatest I end up hitting the blue tooth connection every time I turn the wheel, and leatherette seats have a fabric panel on the interior facing side of the seat. Kind of looks tacky. But overall I am very happy with the vehicle so far! 46 mpg on my first trip!"

"Really like my new 2012 Jetta Sportswagon TDI with Nav. Great car that is a pleasure to drive & gets excellent mpg with the TDI, but shame on Volkswagon for installing a satelllite radio/navigation system that does not have Sirius traffic. Previously drove a vehicle with traffic alerts & it saved me lots of time & fuel by alerting in advance to avoid traffic. Afraid the fuel savings with the Jetta SW will be offset by having to sit in traffic again. VERY disappointed in VW not offering Traffic in the Jetta!"
