Luxurious inside and fun

Basic on the outside, but the interior ALWAYS made me feel I was in a BMW or an Audi. Great acceleration and breaking. Great sound system. It was my dad's car, but I ALWAYS drove it when he was'nt around because it was much better than my car at the time.

Love this car, wonderful for New England!!

This car is lovely for me, a young adult does everything I need, and has the extras (heated seats, sun roof ext.) I feel in love with it immediately perfect in the snow, and drives lovely in any other condition! I just love it!

Extremely clean VW Jetta. Priced to sell!

This car has been extremely reliable and well maintained. It would make a great second vehicle or first car for a new driver. The car is very clean inside and out.

Good vehicle, but some design issues

I've owned and driven VW vehicles for years, so please keep this in mind when I list off the issues that are isolated only to this version of the jetta: 1. The wiper motors will freeze up. Drainage is very poor in this particular design, and every winter I have to chip out ice, or drive unsafely with no front wipers. If you take it in to VW, they'll pull your car into a heated bay and leave it for over an hour before they choose to "inspect" it, then they'll say there is no problem, after everything has melted. 2. The rear end will rattle. Yes, rattle. Constantly every time you hit a bump. I've asked several times, there is a recall on the rear end of the 2013 jetta, but since I haven't had any rear end damage, I can't exercise that recall apparently. It rattles when you go over speed bumps. 3. S mode on an automatic is not worth using. Just waste your gas, just for slightly smoother shifting. This really only would appeal to someone trying to race (a jetta????) or someone who gets extremely motion sick Overall, I like the car. It's reliable, runs well, decent on gas (not in sport mode), and the engine should last me without any problems. But it's certainly not as solid as the old early 2000's jettas.
