Great car today I will pass down to me daughter.

Great car. It had an after market receiver that was no good. I told them it was a deal breaker and they bought a good one for it, installed it and the back up camera I bought since my baby will need it. Very nice and excellent fuel mileage.

Most reliable car and so sharp looking!!

I feel like James Bond! I now have a car wash addiction! I love it so much and it makes me smile! Should have cost much more! A joy to drive!

Good car but horrible on snow or ice.

Car has good space, large trunk, good air conditioner, good radio and speakers and great gas mileage. It's just terrible on any kind of hill in icy or snowy conditions. Once the wheels start spinning and the car starts slipping sideways you might as well get out and walk, or call for help. In fact I'm stuck right now on only 5" of snow.

This car has a sports car looks, is cute, small but lots of leg room inside. The looks with the sunroof is awesome. Fun car to drive.

Electrical issues

This car have tons of electrical issues causing me to be unsafe and spend tons of money the lights go off while driving and used to come back on once you open and shut the hood now they are completely out and will go out again once change. The manufacturer is aware but don't care much bc it's not their problem once you purchase their well known issues. It started with my driver side light at first

performance disguised in a commuter car

I enjoyed driving the very functional 2011 jetta se with 5 cylinder engine for almost 9 years! It keeps on performing!Lots of energy when I need to get on the freeway, and good braking power too. Was fun to drive, and at the same time sensible. Going to get an SUV / truck now, so trying to sell it myself since the trade in offers were not ok with me thx

This car killed me

Honestly I went from a jeep wrangler to a Jetta for my daughter so we would be safe.. it was definitely a big change I did miss my Jeep and miss or willing but the Jetta did Drive nice and the leather seats than the Bluetooth was very nice and the comfort was awesome but air airbags not working deadly in 2015 my daughter and myself went to my cousin house which is about a two-hour Drive in the morning time I want to get coffee I'm not sure what happened but my car went off the cliff I hit the road rail thank God my daughter wasn't with me and I was the only one in the car I'm not sure what happened before I did eject for my car 80 beats broke a lot of body parts my cheekbone shattered my arm shattered my leg my clavicle is still broken in two spots today I was in a coma for several weeks because of this accident I lost everything I lost my daughter I didn't lose my life what's what's worth living all because I bought a Volkswagen that the airbags didn't work
