Most reliable car I've ever owned

This car met all my needs. Runs so smooth on the road and there are no loud noises on the road. Great interior sound system.

3rd Jetta

I have loved having a Jetta and my latest Jetta was a purchase. The only complaint I have about this car/model is that it doesn?t come with Apple car play which should be standard since it has become an issue with texting & driving but more so I used it for my navigation & now have to hold my phone. I could get an after market system put in but prefer to get everything VW and Jetta manufactured because this won?t be my last VW!

Good Solid Car

It feels like a luxury car.The leather inside and sunroof adds to the feel. The power for 1.8 tsi is not bad at all. It has a pretty powerful A/C system which in Texas heat is wonderful.

Worst car EVER for winter driving!!

VW Jetta does NOT allow you to turn off traction control. If you get stuck in a rut or a pothole in winter and you step on the accelerator, the drive wheels barely turn. You cannot spin out of the hole because you cannot turn off the traction control. It's the worst car I ever owned for winter driving.

Jetta Review

The Jetta VW is a sturdy and stable vehicle that is easy to drive and provides good gas mileage. It has many safety features and is large enough to transport 4 adults comfortably. It is not, however wide enough to lie down in the back seat.

LOVE IT!

It's the first car I've had in 13 years. I traded in my truck and I'm absolutely blown away by this car. From the gas mileage to the blue tooth radio, I couldn't have found a better car for me.

Amazing car for the money!

Great gas mileage, at a super reasonable price - with the manual transmission 1.4T, averaged 40-42 mpg on highway trips, and car never feels under-powered. Plenty of pickup to get up to highway speeds, pass, etc. with Apple Carplay/Android auto, adds that extra bit of tech to make it an even better value.
