basic transportation with plenty of fun

You can buy a lot of cars to get you to work, but for my money a VW will always put a smile on your face getting there. this Jetta is no exception. Crisp shifting, great handling and spirited performance

Great first car, good looking and safe

It was my first car, i owned a manual version, which was great, it was a very fun car to drive. It is the easiest manual i’ve driven so far. Very comfortable car and great looking too. The new version is one of the nicest cars volkswagen has ever made and i recommend buying it.

Great car to own

This car has been wonderful for me. Its dependable and drives well. Its a great car in the snow! Its heavier than most cars in its size range and it is definitely noticeable in the snow. Just buy good tires for the winter.

Nice quick car

Nice 2.0 Turbo engine with plenty of pep. Quiet ride compared to other cars this size. Definitely a good value. Drove 170K miles before I knew it, hate to sell it.

What a car

Totally reliable car. I had it for 8 years, any rare fail or anything to be worried. This car only needs gas and oil. Many original spare parts lasted by at least 70.000Km (in my case: 6-7 years), incredible.

Powerful and comfortable ride

Tons of legroom, great acceleration, and low maintenance costs! Bought this car used and it continued to hold up through a long life! Couldn't be happier!
