Great Car

I am so impressed with the interior comforts. Apple CarPlay is an amazing feature, bringing your apps onto the center display.

Great quality & safety with a jetta!

First new jetta was recommended for me by my former employer because laser cut key & you had to flatbed it to tow it, Steel re- inforced doors, German engineered. My exhusband lifted the hood & couldn't believe how heavy it was. It picks up speed real quick & is great on gas & easy to drive & to see out of. Love the rear camera! This is my 3rd new jetta in 6 years & i would not have anything but a Volkswagen! Reliable & dependable & economical also was important to me. Thank you Volkswagen!

One to Consider

For a loaded Jetta SEL out the door for under 20k it has to be one of the most under looked at vehicles today ! Fit, Finish inside and out everything lines up and no squeaks or rattles. More then plenty of power and a smooth shifting automatic that also works manually. Keep more of your money and get a loaded Jetta SEL !

What a find.

Although I have only had this car for 21 days, I think that bang for your buck, I could not have done any better. I am a big guy 6'1" and 250 lbs. and I feel that this car is a great fit for me. I would recommend that you at least do yourself a favor and test drive this car before you make a decision to purchase anything else.

FaST, Fun, and SpoRty

The 2017 Jetta GLI is a lot of fun to drive, it's fast, fun, and sporty. All though being a GLI it is missing out on some comforts that would make it just that much better ( all wheel drive, hid's, ) you get my point. I must say the leatherette in my GLI is very nice, looks good, feels good, and the seats are comfortable and supportive in the corners. Did I mention it doesn't come with HID's, yea I'm very disappointed with VW on this one or should I just blame #dieselgate ;(. Exterior styling is ok and my car looks sporty, but it just short of being edgy in the looks department. Mpg is very nice on the highway, but around town errands makes feel like my gas tank has a leak. LOL Oh well thats my Das Auto review on my 2017 Jetta GLI. thanks, T'

Fantastic car and dealership

Car is great. Looks outstanding both inside and outside. Very comfortable interior. Car drives and handles extremely well. Dealership, and especially sales manager Alex Koppleman, are terrific. I don't think you can beat their prices and they are more than willing to give you the very best deal. They have a lot of pride in their reputation of being an honest and fair dealership and work hard to maintain that reputation. Overall, they made the leasing of a car very easy and quick and you leave feeling good that you got a great deal.

Turbo means power!

Very nimble car but at the same time built like a little German tank! hugs the road feels like it's on rails! stop so quick on a dime! It's like owning a BMW or Audi for half the price
