Excellent fuel mileage

Great car for this price. Looks great and performs great for a 4 cylinder. Back up camera a plus. Affordable maintenance for common items like oil, tires, etc.

I love my car

My need for comfort and reliability in a car is very satisfied with this purchase. It almost feels like the car takes care of itself since I only get the oil changed once per year. Heated leather seats is a must for me, and I really love the entertainment screen that connects to the apps on my phone. Now I have Waze on the large screen at the same time I?m listening to my podcast or Sirius Radio on the drive. Lots of conveniences that keep my car looking uncluttered and fresh. Lots of kids play in the street in my neighborhood and I really appreciate the backup camera assist. I?m happy.

Loving the Jetta

Reluctant to trade in the convertible for a sedan, but i'm loving it. Great gas mileage and having fun driving a 5 speed again. Roomy but not too big. Interior is easy to navigate, great big trunk!

Reliable and sustainable, 40 miles p/gallon.

Volkswagen is German technology, a brand that you can trust for a lifetime. It's my car of choice since I started to drive. Amazing car!

Love this car!

We have driven this car a lot! We drove this car from Phoenix to New Orleans and back without incident. We are at triple the normal mileage, and It is STILL an impressive little car. We love it! In fact, we are getting ready to make the cross-country trek again!

2nd Jetta I?ve owned

I was going back and forth between a Diesel Jetta and the one I ended up buying. The TDI?s (diesel model) are nice, have great gas mileage, and if VW certified, come with a 2 year/24k mile bumper to bumper warranty. Tempting. The new TSI (turbo charged) models were released when all the TDI models were recalled and boasts similar gas mileage. I ended up getting this 2017 Jetta TSI because it had comparable gas mileage and eliminated the need to purchase more expensive diesel fuel. I?m very happy with my purchase. The car is quick when needed, stylish, has great Hwy gas mileage (rated at 39 mpg), and very tight German handling. I?ve had been averaging 42 mpg on the highway.

Economic and comfortable

This is my second Jetta and so far I'm again impressed. It has plenty of pep and is fun to drive. I'll be sticking to jettas from now on.
