Gorgeous Car!

The bright red vehicle really stood out and only having 4,600 miles on a 2018 made it literally a brand new purchase. Being certified preowned, I have the confidence that this car will last a long time for me.

A great value in a used car

Recently bought a used 2018 Jetta SE with 40k miles. Paid about 60% of the new-car cost for one less than 3 years old. Looks good, gets great mileage, has blind spot and rear crossing alerts, v-Tex seating, uses Android Auto, keyless entry and start. Perfect road car with roomy trunk and easy handling. It’s one generation behind the current design, but what a deal!

Comfortable, efficient, and VW feel!

I tested a 2020 Passat, and the 2018 Jetta. I much preferred the Jetta- it still feels like driving a car. The Passat floated like a giant white spaceship and was disconcerting. My Jetta is just right in size, new features, price, mpg, and still keeps that Volkswagen driving experience that feels the same in every good VW model. It has character, the warranties and dealer perks are perfect, and I love it!

Third Jetta this family has owned.

Reliable, sporty, fuel efficient and more. It's a nice care for the money, and the newer models have a great look to them. Highly recommend.

Most reliable car I owned

Two great extra features that I would recommend.The Jetta SE automatic and also the stick shift feature help when entering on the freeway The back up noise and light feature is another safety feature that I rely on whendriving daily.

My first new car purchase since 1977

I bought this VW Jetta for my daily commuter... 100 + miles round-trip. It was least expenive with 40 mpg. Sporty enough to get a speeding ticket. Room for 6 foot tall driver and family use on weekends.

Fun affordable car

This car is super fun to drive and fits my family of 4 easily. Plenty of space in the trunk for sports equipment or luggage. Geat has mileage. Really quite and glides down the road. Not to mention it's a very good looking car. There's something to be said about German engineering.

Really good car. Loved driving it every day.

This car has been the best car I've ever owned. It was super reliable, fast and safe. I would recommend this car to anyone and would totally keep it if I wasn't moving.
