Great Economical Vehicle

Its very reliable and great on gas. Doesn't take much up keeping and maintenance. Jettas have grown to be the car of choice over the past few years.

Need new transmission if it cross $100k miles

The sound system is good. Exterior body is very tough. But the only problem it has is transmission problem. If the car crosses the transmission must be replaced for smooth flow of car otherwise it will give jerks while driving.

This has been the best car!

I love my Jetta. It has taken me many miles and been very reliable. I am very impressed with the style and comfort of the seats too!

My First Car That I'll Never Sell

This car came at a time when Volkswagen made economy cars that really stood apart from the seemingly endless swaths of Toyota and Hyundai midsize sedans that contaminate our roads today. The engineers who designed this car are truly the mark of a company who values attention to detail. Its the little things that make you love this car. For example, wiper blades that automatically slow their speeds when you come to a stop, a smaller auxiliary heater that kicks in before the engine warms up so you don't have to wait for warm air, an instrument cluster that is purposefully difficult to see in low light to remind you to turn your headlights on, a small gap in between the main cup holders to fit smaller Red-Bull cans, and independent rear suspension (which is virtually unheard of for a car in this price bracket) that dramatically enhances ride quality . And the seats. Oh my god the seats. I work as valet attendant for a college job and I have driven virtually every car imaginable, from mid 90's junker Chrysler minivans to brand new Lamborghini Aventadors. I can still say with complete confidence that my Jetta's seats are the most comfortable seats I have ever placed my 20 year-old backside in. The interior is second to none in its class. Most domestic and Asian cars STILL haven't caught up to the vastly super interiors of these cars. There is minimal plastic on the interior, most everything is leather wrapped and stitched, including the dashboard. The trunk space is large enough to smuggle a family of 6, the rear seats comfortably sit my 6'1" 250lb friend, and the sound system has individual tweeters, mids, and bass speakers for superb (and LOUD) audio even after 10 years into its lifespan. I would highly recommend the manual transmission if you are somewhat of a car enthusiast like myself because the 170ft/lbs of torque from that naturally aspirated 5-cylinder engine is sooo much fun to drive around town. Did I mention it was a 5-clylinder? That's right. More horsepower than a 4-cyl. and more interesting than a 6-cyl :) Interestingly, the head unit on this engine happens to be the exact same one used in the 10-cylinder Lamborghini Gallerdo so you can tell all of your friends that if you want, even though most of them will think you're lying (but you'll know the truth!). Also, you can easily out race those morons with V6 Challengers, Mustangs, and Cameros who all think they're hot stuff because they have a car that looks fast. The look on their faces when this little unassuming German sedan flies past them is priceless. In addition to all of the praise I have given it, I have yet to mention reliability. I have owned this car for 4 years and have yet to have a SINGLE issue with it yet, even after putting 70,000 miles on it (currently at 135,000 miles). Well, I guess I did have a tail light burn out after about a month of owning it, and that was a massive $3 repair bill. Took me an entire 2 minutes to replace. But seriously, Volkswagen Automotive Group cars do not disappoint, and this is a perfect example.

2007 Volkswagen GLI Fahrenheit. Best car ever.

In May of 2012 I was finally graduating high school, and I wanted to treat myself to a new car, I was driving a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta GL. So I hopped on the car shopping websites and fell in love with a 2007 Volkswagen GLI. I saw it was yellow, and I was hesitant being a male, I thought yellow was a little too feminine. So I decided to give it a chance, and I loved it. Had my Fahrenheit for over 30,000 miles, and sadly, traded it in on a 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI. Now after being through a Volkswagen Passat TDI, and a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDI, I'm climbing back into the seat of another 2007 Volkswagen GLI Fahrenheit. I couldn't be happier with my decision. These cars are FAST, reliable, and down right SEXY. I baby this car like some men baby their mid life crisis hot rods. I would totally recommend the Jetta. I can't speak too highly for the Touareg though, completely different VW.

The best of the best!

I kid you not, this dealership is the spot for excellent service! Taz, Mike, and Moose are very helpful and you will not leave without a smile on your face and a good deal you can be happy with. They listen to your needs and try to help as much as possible. I was almost giving up on searching for my car and my brother told me to come and check this place out before i give up hope completely. From the moment i came here to the moment i left, I never felt like i was being deceived or spammed. My car is in top notch condition. my tire pressure blinker kept going off but i went back to them, and they fixed for me without any complaints. They really care!! Go check them out!
