Good car, great safety

Had a issue with a short in the stereo system but otherwise the car was very reliable and great on gas. Was in a serious accident in the car and came out with minor injuries so great safety rating.

One of the most reliable cars I've own

This car met all my needs. Very reliable, stylist, turbo-charged and most of all it came in Manual transmission. I would buy this care all over again. I'm only moving to bigger vehicle for more space.

Timing Chain belt

These are great, but they do that there should be a recall on the tiny train that is affected in these vehicles my timing chain went out in my car and it's going to cost 2000 dollars to get it fixed and I haven't had the car but 1 year when I got it it was 89,000 miles on it and it's only a 107,000 miles on it

Love Jettas and VWs

Solid, great driving car. Jetta’s always feel so much nicer and more expensive and well built than anything else for the money. It handles well, sounds good, and the styling never gets old.

Not reliable

I bought this car with 20, 000 miles because they were supposed to be good cars and had nothing but issues with it. Volkswagen just are not made like they used to be

Great inexpensive reliable transportation!

Bought this car for my daughter her senior year in high school. This was a great vehicle for her during college, and was very inexpensive to maintain. Tires, battery, fluids, wiper blades, and one brake job was the only maintenance expense. Great gas mileage, safe with a lot of airbags in the unlikely event of an accident. I would buy another one tomorrow!

Factory reprogrammed TDI - a winner!

Bought this ‘14 model year as a certified pre-owned with only 14k (!!!) miles. 6-speed manual, lots of options, AVERAGING 38 mpg with mix of economical and spirited driving. Will become my kid’s car in about a year but, for now, Dad is lovin’ it!
