Very Dependable.

A great car to own. Very dependable. Better than Nissan I test drove. Lots of leg room. Fast Acceleration for a smaller car.

Well Equipped, Small Price Tag

2017 Jetta SE is very well equipped for around $15k. Averaging 42mpg highway and 37mpg around town. Acceleration is adequate with turbo.

Great Driving Experience

It is a great car to drive considering this is my first car. I enjoy taking my family out knowing that they are safe and there are no issues with the car. It has a great sound system and awesome features including Bluetooth and calls answering.

Best bang for the buck, plus the turbo comes stan

I got a base model and it has some great features that I wouldn't have bought myself but I didn't have to suffer an outrageous price either. Rear view camera, side mirror defrostors, Bluetooth, premium sounds, and the power of the turbo makes it feel like a 6 cylinder car.

Rare combination of performance and gas mileage

Very fun to drive and also doesn?t break the bank at the pump. I love the turbo and the sleek sophisticated style of the car.

Surprising performance and great gas mileage.

Stick shift is nice and tight. Easy clutch even in stop & go traffic. Turbo is great, kicks in smoothly. Very fun car to drive, 39mpg, and a huge trunk.

Awesome driving experience

This car handles extremely well and provides a wonderful, comfortable driving experience. The purchase price was a great deal considering the driving experience and features. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who would like a great deal for the money without bypassing value-add features. Loving my new Jetta!
