2012 Volkswagen Jetta consumer reviews

I found the car in cars.com. like I want it, but 110 miles away from home, but I got the vehicle I wanted, color, style and price. thank you, cars. com

I currently own 2 cars made by VW. after driving a 2012 jetta for 2 years, i can say with absolute certainty that this is the absolute worst car made by VW. engine parts do not fit together to the point that several caps and seals come off as you drive triggering your check engine light to come on and off sporadically. VW refuses to extend the warranty probably because they are well aware of its low quality. my car has been in and out from the dealer since i purchased it. during one month I had to take it in 5 times. would never recommend this car

This is by far my favorite car and my favorite VW I've owned. This is my 5th one I've owned. It is quick, reliable, comfy, stylish and all of the above. We bought this car 10 months ago and have driven 9,000 miles in road trips alone. It is so nice to drive long distances and the navigation is on point. The Fender sound system is the best I've heard, ever. I've test driven dozen of cars lately, looking for a SUV for my family and I always test the sound and it never compares! I would highly recommend this car without a doubt!

This Jetta looks nice, runs very well, has terrific fuel economy and is a very good value, as it was purchased with 34,000 miles already on the odometer and is a certified vehicle by the VW dealership. That is the best way to buy reliable transportation in 2013.

Got the 2.5 sun and sound. Love the stereo system. Very comfortable I am 6ft 6 and have no problems. I have the 5 speed and 1st gear is a tad sluggish but than kicks in nicely. Love the touchscreen and bluetooth. It really is just as nice as a BMW 3 series and even bigger.

Love the manual transmission -- hadn't driven one for many years and it feels so good. I try to think of reasons I need to get somewhere just so I can have the fun of driving this smart little car

The only problem with this car is that it doesn't have a comfortable armrest, they want to upgrade to a Passat in order to have a comfortable place for your arm. Other than that the best car I've ever had.

My previous car was a 1990 Lexus LS400, so take that into consideration on this review. My previous car was the best of the best. After owning it for the last 8 years and putting on 120k miles bringing the car to 300k, it was time to get something else to replace it. I didn't like any of the newer lexus or toyota models due to the styling. I wanted something that was affordable and with some style that I could give to the kids as they started driving. I was not interested in the Jetta until I saw a Jetta SEL with the silver/gold paint and the nicer 17 inch wheels. I could not believe how sharp this combination looked together. I was sold. One year later, I can say that I am happy with the purchase. I am at 12k miles and have had no issues. My main complaint is the sound of the 2.5 engine. My favorite items are the bluetooth capability and the ipod/iphone port in the glovebox.

I bought this car new in July 2012. I've never owned a car that resonanted with the different speeds or forcing frequencies, from the speed of the engine. Plastic rattles, no leg room for the driver on the gas pedal side, rattle above the driver door. Storage compartment is difficult to reach while driving. Fuel economy is good, and I like shifting gears, car is fun to drive, but for the dollars, I'm looking at trading it in for something already. If VW really want's to have 100% satisfaction with it's customers they better get these ratttles fixed or more negitive writing.

I bought this car 6 nonths ago, and I hate it. it has no power, manual lights, bad gas mileage, hardly any features, that my trade in had. I was lied to by the dealer, Open Road, Staten Island, NY. I am trying to get rid of this car right now, any takers, only 1500 miles. Just trying to break even at least. Before you buy this car, look around at others and dont be conned by the dealer
