2006 Volkswagen Jetta consumer reviews

This car met all of my needs and was EXCELLENT on gas mileage. I got almost 45 miles to a gallon! My car was the TDI so it was diesel which was at times, cheaper than gas! Got me from point a to point b.

I currently own a 06 jetta 2.5 Wolfsburg. It is a great car, the interior is much better than the standard, and I love the car. It had a problem stalling above 80 degrees. No cure yet but when we looked it up, thousands of the same report.

This car was great, if I had not had a kamikaze deer encounter I'd still be driving it and loving it. It was great on the highway, quiet enough and comfortable enough for more than 1000 mile long days. Great MPG, good handling, reliable and fun. I wish I still had it.

This car is very good on gas and it is very comfortable to drive especially long distances and it also get great gas mileage.

Really enjoy driving this car. Wish would have bought it when new. Rides well motor and tranny run and shift well. Every thing well placed in passages compartment for comfort and easy of use.

The vehicle was used by two previous owners and has 267,000 commuting miles......what could go wrong? The camshaft and flat tappets, the injector control wiring, the headliner falling down, the knobs and buttons material disintegrating, the passenger heated seat has only one setting-burn, dual mass flywheel breakage, a pound of dirt behind the wheel well cover from drainage issues, built almost entirely out of "one time use" bolts, failed soldering on the PTC electric heater resistors (< $500 new to replace), keys are manufacturer only cut and programming (min $100), creeky plastic that makes noise the entire journey, mis-programmed stereo/amplifier setup and that's just scratching the surface of all the work that this vehicle needed to make it this long.

This car has served me well. More power and same fuel efficiency as a hybrid. Comfort of a VW. Great vehicle that has served me well.

The handling is amazing, mountain HWY curves are nothing for this ambitious sedan. Speed acceleration is so subtle, I had to set a speed warning on the dash! The warning system is ultra-sensitive - sometimes there isn't a problem! Not a big deal, simply reset with instructions found in manual. Over all ... a very nice experience.

Running fast, excelerating smooth,but the engine is loud at 130 thousand miles had to replace the CAT,air pump, brake booster, cv boots, oil pan ..repairs are expensive labor is 135 dollars per hour. if you can afford why not. I am not rich so this is sressfull for me

I bought this car in 2006 and have since put over 211,000 miles on it. I have the manual 5 speed and have driven it across the country at least 5 times, with another 7-8 trips up and down the eastern seaboard. Never had any major problems, although sometimes the check engine light comes on and some of the interior electronics have shorted out. In the past few years I've had to replace the headlight lenses as they became fogged. As long as you replace the battery, sparkplugs, oil and tires when needed, this car will serve you well. I love the transmission, ease of use, and reliability. I also like the interior - no frills, just what you need and well designed. Even with a smaller engine it has good acceleration and is fun to drive. I will probably keep the car for sentimental value and upgrade parts piece by piece in order to pass it on. Looking forward to cracking 300k miles with this car.
