2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen consumer reviews

All I can really say was this car was really me. 50,000 miles averaging 44 MPG of diesel fuel. 67 cubic feet of interior space (rear seat folded down). Three years of maintenance included. Nothing affected the car's mobility during five years of ownership. The impressive torque from the diesel never failed to impress.

Very stylist looking wagon, super handling and plenty of power . Very comfortable to ride in for long distances.

Replacing my 1982 VW Rabbit diesel PU, the JSW TDI 6M has found a home.........I am nuts about all it's features......the best being MPG, torque, interior space and reliability. The pickup could get 53 highway. This wagon best ever was LA to Sacramento. 54.8 MPG.

I owned my wagon since 2014. I was the second owner when the car was 16000 mi. now it is 46500 and everything run well! Good cargo space but the 2.5 engine is too old.

Good car, nice styling, strong engine with great mileage. Panoramic sunroof leaks. So far seems well made. Keyless ignition broke around 55,000 miles. No way to start with a key. Usually can do a better job of navigation using your phone and software updates are expensive for what you get. Might buy again without the sunroof or the navigation.

My 2013 Sportwagen S just hit 30K miles and the ONLY issue I've had was a bad bluetooth mic that was replaced under warranty. I get a solid 28+ average MPG,and the utility is wonderful. It's a great car to drive, nice interior that looks upscale and when I was looking for new cars, was 2K cheaper than a focus hatchback. I'd buy this car again in a minute. If I could afford it, I'd go for the TDI, but I'm very happy with my basic S with auto transmission. I have no idea where all the reliability issues come from. My Jetta can't be the only one without problems...

This car has been in the shop more times than I can count. The seats are low in the back and high in the front which throws out my back. It is hard to get in and out of but this was not my choice for a car. My company that I work for decided this was great on gas mileage. I didn't have 2000 miles on this car when the TDI went out. Good thing it was still under warranty. I have this thing in the shop about once a month. The car has good pick up but over all it is a horrible car and I can't believe how much they charge for these things. My company must have gotten a really good deal.

I have owned a 2011 2.5 s for 3 years and have 58,000 miles. I have not had a single problem with the car and it continues to run and drive excellently. Interior is clean, functional and high quality lots of room. Engine good power and OK fuel economy. I get 27 MPG in mostly highway driving. I put snow tires on this year and now it has replaced our AWD vehicle as the go to snow car. May upgrade to TDI with the new Golf wagon in 2015.

egr cooler leaked oil into coolant on my third diesel particulate filter that vw has paid for and the rear door latch broke with the child lock on so we were unable to get the door open. I listened to the good reviews when I bought the car and now I don't believe them.

i have had many cars (beamers, rovers, jeeps, chevys, the list goes on and on and on) and to date for the $$ this is the best car on the road. it is has a slice of everything...power, style, tight build, simple but nice interior, great blue tooth, incredible gas mileage (i have the TDI diesel version and consistently get above the EPA ratings) and the panoramic roof is ahhhhhmazing. makes the car feel even more roomy and luxurious inside. i wish the seats were fully automatic but its no biggie... most dont know about this car, but i have yet to have one person go for a ride with me and at some point just randomly and simply turn to me and say - "i like this car - what is it..hmmmm i ll have to consider this next time around". in CA we have a part of the 405/5 freeway that is the test of all cars - its called the Grapevine its about 20-30 minutes north of LA. Its a long (very long) drawn out mountain climb...you often see cars overheated and broken down on the side of the road, or chugging along in the right lanes struggling to make it to the top. All i can say is i left everyone in the dust. The torque in the TDI allowed me to sail up that mountain as if everyone else was standing still...and with no apparent strain on the car. It was almost as if it loved it and was built for it. If you want practical, sporty, utilitarian, comfort, interior simplicity and style, cargo room for hauling, beautiful sunlight beaming in all sides, and that fun to drive feeling while being a little nicer to the environment -do yourself a favor - get the this car in a TDI version. I cant wait for the even more refined 2015 to come out. happy car hunting, chris - los angeles
