"This is an awesome car to drive. Fun, fun, fun....and the mpg - unheard of. Why won't the Americans build a car like this. I get 33 mpg in the city and 44+ mpg on the highway. The turbo gives it incredible torque while the 4 cylinder, diesel engine gives it incredible gas mileage. No problem finding diesel fuel, either. The trunk is cavernous and there is plenty of leg room for 4 adults. I'm over 6' and no one has complained about leg room while sitting behind me. I got the 6 speed manual because I think it is more fun to drive but you can't go wrong with the DSG. Compared to my SUV that got 18/23 mpg, I estimate that I've SAVED roughly $1,300 in fuel costs over 10 months and 13k miles of driving. What's not to like?"

"I upgraded in mid October 2010 from my 2003 Jetta "2point Slo" with manual 5 shifter to my FIRST automatic with DSG...I think it means Duel Shift Gear. TDi stands for Turbo Direct Injection...but I think it really means Turbo Diesel Injection... Plus it sounds better... My TDi has everything I've always wanted..! Way more room and power with a much higher level of fuel efficiency... From the same size 14.5 gallon tank. With my gasoline 2003 I got about 28.387mpg's and now I get about 43.781mpg's with an automatic..! I wish VW would get on the ball already and make a TDi Hybrid...I wonder how many more mpg's I would get..!"

"I got my 2010 Jetta in October 2010 as a new/used car. Handles great, very comfortable in both the front and rear seats, nice interior and exterior styling, and excellant safety features. It performed beautifully in one of the worst CNY winters we've had in awhile and I always felt safe driving it despite the weather at times. One nice thing about it is that it has an Ipod jack right in the console. Just plug in an adaptor and your Ipod/mp3 player will play right through the speakers. Very handy. I've only had it for a few months but so far it has been reliable. One thing I didn't look into before I bought it was how much maintenance would cost. So far, everything from windshield wipers to oil changes has been more expensive than when I had my little Ford Focus. Not a huge issue but definiately something I wish I had known. It also doesn't get the greatest gas mileage (not bad though either). Again, I'm used to my previous Focus and this car has a lot more power/weight to it, so this is understandable. I do love this car and have gotten many compliments on it. I would recomment the Jetta overall."

"I'm loving my Jetta so far. Perfect blend of performance and practicality with the GLI suspension and TDI motor. I am happy I purchased the DSG transmission given the short revs of the diesel motor. Visually, the car stands out with the body kit and 18 inch wheels but not in a tacky way. The quality of this car certainly place it a level above others in it's class. I am uncertain about the reliability at this time as the car is still very new. It seems repairs could be costly should something go wrong. Time will tell. It also is expensive for a Jetta but it's full of technology and premium featres. It could be a tad faster in the straight line but it's hard to argue with 45MPG + on the highway and the driving dynamics of a real German sedan. Take a chance."

"I have owned many cars both American and Japanese.This is my first so called German car.The seats are so uncomfortable that I have to make many stops on a long trip.All the radio stations drifted while driving so I have to use the cd player only.I brought it back 3 times and the dealer said it is OK and met company standards.They said/listen to this/Use the am stations and listed to the news.My wife and I had to bring it back to the dealer 7 times before they could fix all the rattles and leaks.Just a bad car."

"Bought my 2010 Jetta S about 2 months ago. It's a great car so far. Wish the gas mileage was a little better. I seem to fill it up more than my previous Ford Focus but that's really my only complaint. It looks and feels great and I hope to have it for many years to come!"

"I purchased a 2010 TDI Cup Street Edition. The car has been fantastic. Typical VW dealer nightmares as in incompetent dealer network but the car is good."
