Cheap on gas

Good car to use every day for commuting. Be ready to change flywheel in the transmission every hundred - hundred fifty thousand km. Sometime problem with headliner, be ready to fix it. I met with those problem in my car.

was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive

vw jetta 2006 157000 block I purchased a used 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport with a lot of options and under 15k miles. I'm a big guy, 6'3" and big-boned, with two younger children that require car seats. There is still some room behind me with the seat backed up all of the way. The features and smart key are a nice touch. I am used to a V-6 AWD vehicle, so it has taken some time getting used to the slower acceleration in normal or ECO mode. In Sport mode, the acceleration is good. I really like the looks of this car. It just stinks you have to go to the Sport or Limited model to get dark interiors, but I'll deal with it

Love my Jetta

What a nice stylish vehicle, just enough space for me and my grandchildren. Affordable and safe too. Compact but comfortable. But don?t take my word for it..... go test drive one yourself. I got mine from Main Street Motors :)

Good Car with horrible Electrical Issues

I have really liked the vehicle but I have continuing problem with lamps burning out every other week, sunroom opening on its own, and front driver door refusing to lock which leaves interior lights on. The 2 power recepticles blow fuses regularly. Very costly to constantly repair even the lamps. Other problems I have not fixed.

Surprising refinement for a compact car.

Longest car I've owned. Drivetrain, interior, exterior just more refined than competitors. Maintenance is more expensive but worth it.

2006 Jetta

Good car and stylish look. Great gas mileage. We've put a lot of mileage on it and it still works great.
