Car serves as a great commuter car for me

Car gets over 475 miles to a tank of gas. Very few maintenance issues if any. Has heated seats, mirrors, apple linked radio. Great car for the money

I have the highline model, very comfortable.

I love all the options , 1.8 litre turbo gives you power when you need it but gas mileage . Also has a great fender sound system

Budget fun and spacious family car for the size

I 'downgraded' from a CC to a Jetta GLI because I wanted a lower monthly payment and it's been a fine move. The Jetta interior is not as nice as the CC or as well put together, but there is a lot of room for such a small car and it's comfortable enough even on long drives. The 2.0T engine is a strong performer at low RPMs, with good passing power and a responsive transmission. Ride is mediocre; I think the tires are too hard. The cheapness of the car also shows with more road noise than I prefer. Maybe I complain too much! The radio is very good; the tech interface is easy; the climate control works well (but no rear HVAC vents!!!); heated seats, sunroof, and satellite radio are luxury enough for me. Overall it's a good value and a fun car to drive. It's just not as good as it could be.

Awesome Gas Mileage!

I am getting awesome mileage with my Jetta 1.4T. I drive conservatively and am averaging 46 miles per gallon on average. Winter months drop that down to about 40 mpgs.

I was surprised with what this car came with.

As my headline states, this car was a complete surprise to me what came standard with this vehicle for the price. Back up camera, updated stereo and speakers, bluetooth connectivity, power everything. What was a very nice surprise was the turbo system and how much additional power it gave this car without effecting the miles per gallon.

European style..for less

My jetta is very roomy and the interior is very comfortable. It has passing power when you need it, and it looks great. I got more options than comparable other brands of the same size for less money. Which to me is a huge win! When I'm looking at cars,I don't need all the bells and whistles, but they are nice to have! Gas mileage could be better. My model is the Jetta sport 1.8 liter
