2011 Volkswagen Jetta consumer reviews

I have used the car for my commute to work and never had a problem. I passed it to my son when he started Med school and withstood the Michigan winters and again in Boston.

Vey reliable and durable. Handles nice and consumption is very good. Never had problem, or unexpected situations. The car was maintained always on time, and it is great buy, because of the low milage and quality.

Besides the fact that they cheated and lied on the emissions I've never enjoyed owning a car more than I did with my 2011 VW Jetta TDI. Maintenance was affordable, and the mileage was incredible!

It is an amazing vehicle. 130,000 and not once have i had to take my car to a mechanic for major problems.

Solid, fuel efficient and reliable. If you perform normal maintenance this car will last you forever (mine has 100k and it runs perfecly, not even a minor leak). The hybrid version is probably the best car of its segment.

I have owned this car for over a year now. I feel there should be a recall on the windshield wipers due to they stop whenever they want and they have stopped working altogether. There are many other people who have had the same problem with VW's. I have missed work twice due to this issue. Otherwise the car is good working condition. It does have a slow start. I like the auto/manual conversion.

I'm not a VW fan but I absolutely love this car! The previous owner lowered it, added a custom muffler, and tinted the windows super dark. Its a stick and it drives great! You can't really even feel the gear changes. It grips the road and not a bad sound system for a stock radio.

I find it humorous that VW has specified "oil consumption" to be as much as 1 liter per 2000km. Lets call a spade a spade and not sugar coat this. Lets say this car burns oil and it is spec'ed to use synthetic oil, (not cheap). The power of my 2.0 gas engine is a throw back t thee 80's and the 5 speed standard is so wide that when I want to pass on the freeway to downshift from 5th to 4th is not enough power and to go to 3rd is almost at red line. I drive around town in 2nd often and unless I'm on the freeway I rarely get this car into 4th gear. That said I bought this car for my 100km daily commute to work, (200km per day). and this car gets decent fuel economy around 6 liters per 100km. No matter where I put the seat, my right leg is crammed against the center console, but aside from that the seats and ride are very comfortable for my long commute. There is tons of room for passengers, but with the lack of power, you may not want the extra weight of your friends in the car, (it really makes that much difference). Also the truck has room for at least 4 more people, the trunk must be the largest in class with room for everything and then some. As for style, this car really has it going on, the only issue I would have with this is the black printing on a blue screen stereo. The radio controls are hard to see in low light and figuring it out while driving at night is a bad idea. The exterior is classy looking and the interior is refined with a solid and clean finish. Over all, despite the mismatched tall ratio standard transmission with a low power motor, I do like this car for my long commute. Once I'm on the freeway and going it is comfortable and the fuel economy is right where I would hope it to be. I'd buy another Jetta, but would consider other engine options before ever getting the 2.0 gas.

Just bought my 2011 VW Jetta with convenience package and love the vehicle. Great styling, comfortable, nice features and the price was definitely right.

I owe 2011 Jetta SE (convenience package) with 2.5 engine in it. Great car for the value. VW used to have disc brakes as a standard in their cars not anymore they had to use drums instead so they can keep price low. No computer, all you get is trip A on this model. They also took away arm rest regulation back and forth and up and down positions. That is the only think I would like to change in my car. If you drive a lot and you dont wont to leave $100.00 at the pump that is the car for you I have 14.5 gal tank I drove it to empty got 490 miles out of it that is about 37MPG
