VW Jetta - Wow, it's as nice as a BMW

The Jetta is an excellent car, fun to drive, affordable to own. Gas economy is good and the quality is excellent. There is nothing else to really add other than to say it is honestly the best car/cars I have owned having driven Acuras and BMWs, Ford, Chevy, Pontiac and Toyota. I have had 6 VWs, 4 of them Jettas. Do yourself a favor and take a test drive...you'll like it.

Safe, style, comfort.

This car met all of my expectations. The exterior is very nice with good looking headlights and taillights. The interior is something I like to show off to anyone and everyone. One of the smoothest vehicles I've ever driven and the sensors are a great part of the car. The emergent braking system definitely makes me feel safer than a normal car without the braking system.

AWESOME GLI

Just purchased new 2017 GLI, manual. I am extremely happy with this car because I wanted a manual transmission and could not get that on the AUDI. Lots of fun to drive and the gas mileage is great. This car is solid and the suspension is tight. Feel like I got a great value, in a car that is fun to drive, and that will last!!

Happy new car owner

It's great!!! I owned a 2015 Jetta and I can honestly say the 2017 Jetta is a better car for not much more.

A smile on my face.

I love my car. First, it's pretty. The color is cardinal red. It's drives so smooth. Feels like you riding on air. I love how all I have to do is touch the car handle and it locks and unlocks the car. Awesome right! The Jetta is the right side for me. The interior, exterior and the trunk. Everything I wanted it provides. Very satisfied!

I have owned three Jetta's.

It rides very solid. Very reliable car. Great to drive. But lacks power. Interior is very classy. Unfortunately it comes with Hankook Tires.

Jetta SE quick, nimble, PRETTY

The Jetta Se is great for a commuter on highways where I am in northeastern New Jersey. Very quick pick-up, responsive, great on gas. Also easy to park, excellent safety rating, has a "blind-spot" indicator on side mirrors which is very useful in traffic. The rear camera is sort of helpful (distorts the distance between the rear bumper and whatever is behind the car.) The cabin is spacious, the seats are comfortable (I have low back pain --most car seats bother me.) Ample leg room for taller people. The trunk is huge compared to many other cars! I was pleased.
