First VW and happier then I could have imagined!!!

This is th first time I ever purchased a VW as I am usually a ford guy most of my life I would cycle back every year between mustang and F150 as I would keep the car for a year and around money 9 or 10 start to reminisce of all the great time I had in the other and sell it and get the other. I purchased a VW Jetta 2.5 SEL as I just had my first daughter and needed something that made more sense as a family vehicle. The Jetta has been better than I could ever imagine it handles beautiful is comfortable has so many options and is still sporty. I truest love my VW and now can say with confidence and a smile on my face I?m am a VW customer. The only problem I have is I now live in Cleveland Ohio and when it snows or rains below freezing overnight the wipers will not work in the morning until I drive he car quite a bit and then turn it off and park it for 30 min to 2 hours and hen they will begin working again which is a common issue on VW.

I will only buy VW

This vehicle provides quality and stability. As long as maintenanced regularly and use premium fuel, the car will run forever. Great for roadtrips, very spacious, comfortable seating and quality interior depending on model.

Very Happy With My Purchase

This is the first and only car I purchased new and I love it. It was a very big purchase for me at the time and I was scared of ?buyer?s remorse? however I?ve never regretting buying this vehicle. 6 years later that car still performs like new and everything still works, I will have this car for a long time
