2017 Jetta SE - More Bang for the Buck

Great gas mileage without feeling like you're in a can. Plenty of leg room in front and back seats. Pretty spacious trunk for a mid-size car. It has a 5-Star Safety Rating and is kind of fun to drive!

GLI has excellent engineering

This 2017 GLI is my second, previous one a 1989 16V GLI. The GLI is an upmarket model, and when driven displays the typical German engineering and performance "DNA". Once you get used to that, you will miss anything that is not Teutonic in origin. I am demanding and compared this auto to other German makes, but for value this model can't be beat. NO disappointments. Do all recommended maintenance, as with any German make. It is reasonable; but other makes can be very expensive in this regard.

we made a great decision to go with a Jetta

Extremely happy with the decision to lease the VW Jetta for my daughter! It gives me peace of mind knowing she is driving in such a solid car with many safety features.

Very good on gas

It's very good on gas, It's my wife's car, the only think I don't like is the seats which are kind of too small for a big guy

Disappointed

Engine light came on after 50 miles requiring car to be returned to dealer. No obvious fault, but light reset so I have lost confidence it is not just going to happen again...

Comfortable and Autobahn ready

I really enjoy the comfort and ready power of the drive line; Smooth acceleration ,cruising and braking. New Jetta has solid feel on the road; Response is quick. Quiet cabin and large back seat for passengers. I like the "Trunk Society" Jetta.
