Wolfsburg Performance Review
I have a Wolfsburg edition with the 2.0t engine and 6 speed dsg. The torque of this car is what gets me every time. 2nd/2rd gear, right foot down, head snaps back. That head planted to the back of the seat feeling is so surprising, and matches that of flooring much more expensive performance vehicles. The handling is very good and understeer only happens if you drive like a hooligan. The seats are some of the most supportive I've ever sat in, and make sure you don't get flung around while doing spirited driving. For an everyday sedan, it rivals performance cars. I can keep up with basic models of Mustangs /BMWs /Audis etc. Flooring it at a traffic light will make the tires screech then follow with a surge of acceleration. 0-60 happens in mid 6's. Only complaint is no paddle shifters. Note: if you live in a location where it snows, snow tires are almost a necessity

I bought vw jetta wolfsburg for great sound system, exterior styling, and perfomance. It hasn't let me down yet! Only complaint would be vent directional sliders break real easy.

Fast and fun to drive
The car is great for 0-40 (or 40-80) in no time. Great handling and fun to drive. Only disappointment is the interior looks cheap (leatherette) and no steering wheel controls. Also, way too much vibration when the sunroof is open and windows up. Other than that, it's a good car for the price.

Fun and thrifty
I picked the 2010 jetta tdi manual after much deliberation. I wanted fun, German handling and the mileage of a hybrid. I was commuting from Dallas to Bentonville AR for a while so I spent a lot of time on the road. The Jetta is strong at low and high speed, with excellent torque. I am continually impressed by the mileage +43 on both hwy and regular commuting. My biggest gripe by far are the headlights. At 70 on the fwy you will easily out run them. As a result I have had a few introductions to road debris; tires, pipes, occasional road kill. Favorite thing about the car: coming up behind a Prius on the hwy doing 75, giving the high beam flash and blowing their doors off...all the while knowing my car feels better to drive and is getting better mpgs at that speed. :)

Not happy with the vehicle( Daily Driver)
Bought the car because of the reliability i was promised and fuel economy. One thing that is true about the car is the fuel economy. However, the reliability on this vehicle is horrible. I've owned this car for 5 months and every month was of owning it is just been heck-tick. I've brought the car into the dealership service center 3-5 times a month. Most aggravating experience is with my blue-tooth audio. The car has the option but will not let me use it and so called "Dealer" says to 'BAD". REALLY? The car also is still under warranty. Horrible horrible engineering and service. Please do your research before purchasing an "VW"

love that diesel
I recently bought a 2010 Jetta TDI and am well pleased. I especially love the efficiency of the diesel engine. My fuel costs have dropped by about 25%, which means a lot to me as I drive about 25K miles a year. I'm also really enjoying the torque of the diesel engine. Even though the engine is only 140 hp, the high torque makes the engine feel quite strong. In fact, I've never had a car before with so much get up and go. The car isn't perfect, though. It has more wind noise than I expected, but I hardly notice that anymore. The suspension is also a little stiffer than I'm used to, but the handling is very good. Overall, I'm delighted with the car and would recommend the TDI to anyone.

My First Car That Isn't A SUV
This being my first car that isn't a SUV or a Truck is the best thing for commuting. The road performance has outweighed any of the previous vehicles have driven. My previous ride to this was a diesel at best not as reliable as this brand. The higher maintenance cost associated with diesels is comparable so no change there other than this is younger aged model. Commuting and travelling in comfort is a must plus it's fun to drive every time you get in.

Great Car!
We've had our 2010 Sportwagen out to CA once and down to FL twice from NC and it's a great road car. It seems the mpg goes up with higher average speed. We've averaged 47 highway mpg while getting a reliable 40+ around town. The car has been totally reliable at this point and we love it. I'd like to see a little quicker turn-in but our last car was a 3 series BMW with the Sport Package so maybe I'm being a little tough on the VW. Overall, we think the Jetta Sportwagen is a great car for the money.

VW Jetta Sportwagon
I like the mileage and power that I get with the TDI (diesel) engine. Excellent space in the back. Plenty of leg room in the front, while the back has sufficient leg space, as long as you are not too tall. I like the bluetooth phone capability, but I'm missing the garage door opener.
