Loved it from the start.

Great gas mileage (35-40 mpg). Very reliable. Looks good too ! My friends and family are a little jealous and already considering making the move to VW.

Funnest car I own

Bought my 2016 Jetta S with tech package new. Currently at 32,000 miles and going strong. Had no issues with the infotainment or reverse camera and the sound system is superb. I will say the gas meter blanks out when the temperature is real cold sometimes but the range meter is still accurate. The little 1.4t is a fun engine when mated to a 5 speed. Have a few minor upgrades such as CAI and boost hoses with DV. This is a great commuter and and road trip car due to room, handling, fuel economy and all around driving experience. I average 48mpg on the highway.

Solid

This car met my needs at the time. I have needed a car that got good gas mileage and was not a prius. this filled the need. the vehicle is sneaky fast (it’s not camaro but comparatively)
