First car I’ve ever owned

I’m in love with my car... I love the additional safety package it helps so much with the traffic in Scottsdale and this car is so comfortable and oddly quiet in a good way, speed is not it’s strong suit but it’s got enough pick up and go for passing.

I don't understand how anyone can buy this car

After multiple problems including transmission issues, and oil consumption and the 1st 10000 miles the car is a pile of steaming s***, I've owned it least 4 other volkswagens prior and I have never had a car that has had so many problems new ever, at this point in time I will never be a Box wagon owner again, they burned Me Too! Many times at this point I cannot recommend anyone ever purchase these vehicles as they seem to suffer from Volkswagen skipping out on all kinds of important things that would make this car safe and reliable.

A smart buy.

Great mileage. SE package adds enough to make it feel more luxurious but not inflating the price much. Peppy for a small engine. Cruises with ease on the highway. Excellent warranty. Excellent safety features.

Worst Rear Susp. Noise of any car I've ever owned!

Love everything about this car, great styling, comfort, power and quality...however, I have never heard such a noisy rear suspension of any car I have ever owned; have had a Bettle up to a Town Car! TERRIBLE, and VW says its normal.

A quality car & fun to drive

This car drives a lot better than it's price level. I have the R-Line (handles better than the other Jettas). Similar chassis to the Audi A3 & A4. Really good handling but not harsh. Better handling than the BMW 3 series I had a few yrs ago. 45 mpg on trips at 70 mph. One recommendation: keep the trans in Sport mode at all times. Normal mode shifts up way too soon.

I love my new Jetta from Gene Messer Volkswagen!

We have had a family friend as our go-to car salesman in Albuquerque for years. Now that he has retired we were a bit lost on how to handle our next car purchase. Joshua Miller at Gene Messer Volkswagen is now our go-to guy. He went way above and beyond any salesman we've ever dealt with, ever. If you want someone who will go that extra mile just to make you leave happy, see him. Thank you for making our trip to Lubbock well worth it!

49 mpg on my 32 mile freeway commute!

I bought this car because I lked the way it looked and the price compared to the Ford focus and the toyota corolla. After my first week of commute I am in love. The comfort is nice the tech is fine and the things that my body touches in it feel quality. But the milage per gallon blew me away! So far I will recommend that car to anyone.
