Smooth driving, nice electronics

Smooth driving, nice electronics, think I’ll enjoy for the years I will have it. Will try to get some friends to look into this car.

The best value for money I could find.

The best value for money I could find in a respectable dad car. I was looking for a bare bones four door car with excellent fuel economy that's respectable for a person in sales and I think the 2019 Jetta S gives you the most bang for you buck in that category.

Look elsewhere

Spent 10 days w/ an "S" model as a rental. My wife hated getting in and out, very poor ergonomics. Some of the biggest complaints: Bland highway manners, vague steering feel, weird grind in the transmission when shifting, very poor seats,... but it had a nice trunk.

An ergonmic nightmare wrapped in a dull skin

A decent car, but the last gen Honda civic an more sop the new civic is a much better option. The front seat is a true crucifix it is narrow and placed to the center of the car NOT the center of the space allocated. It could e 4 inches wider and that much more comfortable and fit in the space allowed. this forces the drivers calf against the protruding center console. The cup holders are too far back as it the shifter. and lets face it , the car has an automatic put the shifter on the dash! save the room. the auto is awful! the manual shift is okay but a good cvt would be better with the turbo. The motor whines in a not interesting way.

comfortable and nice looking car with up to date t

I like the size and easy driving, the safety features, rear view and side blind spot mirrors. I also like the car play. U like the keyless entry.

Recalls and rattles

Terrible rattle from door. Needs repair. Brand new. Need ear plugs to drive. Will never buy another VW. Lacking quality. Will not provide loaner. Also recalled already.

4th VW from Wellesley VW

Andreas Becker from Wellesley VW once again sold me a car that was exactly what I needed. Great mileage per gallon. I love the 6 speed stick shift! Stylish and sleek looking.

Awesome car for the price

Awesome fully loaded car for the price. I especially love the infotainment system of my Jetta SEL Premium. I’m a big fan of the Apple CarPlay compatibility.
