Have owned VWs before but bought this used 2016 S model and WOW. SOLID car, lots of amenities for the base model and the infotainment center blew away my older MB. Engine is the rock solid/bullet proof 1.4 turbo, hehe and i got the manual also and that definitely adds more to the fun. This is a GREAT car and will certainly keep it for a long time.

Volkswagen Jetta

The ride is great and the car has been very reliable. My family has owned Jettas in the past and we have always had a good experience.

Most reliable car I've ever owned.

I love my Jetta TSI, great on gas, the speed is really on point, the radio is out of this world. I ?? ?? ?? my car.

Jetta is an Audi in VW-Clothing

Really like my 2016 Jetta. I have the small 1.4L engine, which is much more powerful than expected and works really well with the 6-speed Automatic transmission. Really also like that apple play was included in my "Connectivity" package. Styling is rather basic, but with options added, the car gets into entry-level Audi A3 level with a high value for the dollar.

Awesome car!

I love my new car! It is my first car, so there is a lot of excitement all around, but it is really nice and was also quite affordable. Handles great, feels comfy, and has great acceleration at low speeds (though at high speeds it is hard to speed up quickly). Overall 5 out of 5 stars.

Love my Jetta GLI

My GLI is a blast to drive around town. It?s the perfect size for getting around the congested city streets. It has the power I need to easily merge onto the toll roads. The AC works great in Texas heat.

Sensible and Fun

Looking at my Jetta, I think it's a nice sensible car to get from point a to point b. But driving it is so much fun. The turbo charge is awesome, especially on turns. It's great to take it out on the road with no particular place to go. And it handles very well in the snow.

2016 Jetta

I test drove this car and in my opinion was overall average, pretty plain but good gas mileage. If you?re looking for something affordable and not really stylish but good on gas this is the car for you.
