I would buy another one

Reliable, comfortable, economical. Solid car. Handles well in all weather. Always felt safe with kids in the car. Been to beach and snow skiing. Never disappointed!

2009 jetta wagon 5 speed

Its a great car and have plenty of cargo room. I recommend it as a daily driver. Fuel efficient and parts are cheap as there are jettas and golfs everywhere.

Owned it for 2.5 days

Purchased as a "starter" car for my 15 yr old son. He loves it! I drove 2.5 hours to purchase it. Perfect drive home (170 miles) with no issues at all. Smooth riding small car. Great on gas mileage!

Great fit for Oahu

Bought it off Craigslist about a year ago and couldn't be happier. Great size and turning radius for in town. Smooth ride for cruising along the water. Packs a punch on the highway. Clean and comfortable interior. Tinted windows and ice cold A/C for the hot and sunny days. Use the auxiliary input for music or stop by a thrift store and pick up some CD's for the 6 disk player in case your phone dies. Solid car for the price. New tires, headlight bulbs, and spark plugs from the end of 2018.

Great car for the price

VWs have always been a reliable, affordable purchase for me and this Jetta is not exception. I have had this car for about ten years, with very few issues.

Great first car!

Is a nice solid first car. Has low miles for a 2009 and the body is in great condition. My son is comfortable driving it. Has heated seats and sunroof which is a bonus.
