The vehicle is great, some damage done to the exterior that wasn’t reported and the sunroof sunshade doesn’t retract (expensive to fix at a dealership) the car came with a broken tire rod so it drove funny at first. After getting the new tire it drove like a dream.
Combine german quality with turbo diesel fuel economy and the space of a wagon and you have the perfect combination of reliable transportation!
When i acquired a new job and the requirements were to have a vehicle to travel in with a minimum of 25 mpg average my choice was easy to get another VW TDI.
Had a 2009 VW jetta sportwagen a few years back for family commute and then VW announced the buyback from TDI models 2009-2014. They bought it back and i had a significant cash back amount from it even that i put 12000 miles on it in 6 months. Really liked the car though because can't recall having a car driving at 65 mph and the engine is just right in the torque band just to push the accelerator and it goes without downshifting or any hesitation to speed up.
So i am driving #2 VW TDI now without any problems and average mpg is 38.5 overall. Personally i liked the 2009 front end styling better then the current 2012 but that doesn't effect anything. HIghly recommended!
Being a 2.5L, I-5 engine, it is powerful. The interior is quite nice. Heated seats, defrosting side mirrors, navigation system, moon roof, and steering wheel controls are excellent. I'm used to Honda Civic sized cars, but this car is not too much more bigger than those. It still has plenty of interior room along with an arm rest/cup holder combo in the back. The trunk is extremely roomy too. My only complaints with it are that the cruise controls are on the signal light switch, there is only one trip meter (instead of A and B trips), and the windshield wiper blades cannot be pulled up off the windshield in preparation of snow. Had it only for a few weeks, but I love it. Stylish, powerful, and the extras are worth it. Also, the analog clock amuses every now and then. Totally unnecessary but it makes it stylish.
This car is my dream vehicle. It exceeded my expectations of what I would ever own. Of all the vehicles I've driven or owned it is the most comfortable and easy to navigate. The fact that it's got a diesel engine is the highlife of everything. Thank you Volks Wagon!! I ???you!
I mainly used the car to drive between university and my house . I had a lot of problems with my previous car so I am very upset that I am moving and have to sell this Jetta because It was always very reliable. I love the car. It's great on Gas, especially if you are mainly driving on the highway. or low distances. You can make it with one tank for 2 weeks usually, it consumes very low fuel amount. We drove one long trip with it to Toronto and during the round-trip we only re-fueled 3 times.
Best car I EVER owned and I owned a nice mercedes before this one.
I purchased it used and I had only one problem which I paid out-pocket for and now you should be good to go for a long while. I did the 40.000 miles service and everything was in perfect conditions.
It's just me, so I downsized from a new Tiguan SUV lease to a straight purchase of a certified pre-owned Passat. Best choice I ever made! I travel back and forth from Florida and Kentucky. This car is great on the highway - performance, handling, and fuel economy (which has, quite frankly, amazed me). It's roomy inside (and I am a big guy) for me as the driver and has plenty of room for stuff, including the rear seat accessibility that greatly increases the trunk functionality. The certified pre-owned program from VW adds two (2) years of full warranty. Lastly, the HVAC system is efficient - something we really need in Florida.
This car has power and style at an affordable price. Hand's down it is funnest, classiest, peppiest cars I have ever owned. I absolutely love it. I got this car used - almost 4 years old - and it still has the look and feel of a brand new car despite having 120km.
based on the number of problems i have had with this car I will never buy a volkswagen again. Let me list the problems. Had to have a front end alignment before warranty was up, which the dealership tried to charge me for. replaced multiple front rotors due to warping. replaced driver side caliper due to sticking. replaced passenger side a frame bushing(not cheap) now the door locks are not working correctly.. the passenger side vents blow cold air when heater is on. both tail lights burned out and these problems started as soon as the warranty was up and the car does not have 80000 miles on it.. Dont buy this car!!!!!
This car has been reliable for the last 4 years, never had any issues regarding engine or performance. Was driven longer distances, which increase lasting time of engine.
I emailed them about the truck they had that i was interested in. They answered very quickly, within 30 minutes, and gave me all the info i needed to know. I wasnt aware it was salvaged and they include many pictures to show off the product. As well as details on repairs and everything else. Great customer service and help.

Excellent Midsize SUV

I got this car because I wanted a midsize SUV with plenty of cargo space for travel. It has that as well as plenty of leg room for passengers. There are three USB ports and a vent in the back for AC and heat. I also love the moon roof. This car checked off all the boxes I wanted in a midsize SUV.
The car is nicely styled and appointed. Though the tech is a little behind the current (no bluetooth streaming) - it is still feature-rich. The Komfort package adds some great features. The seats are super comfortable. The car handles nice and has power to spare.
Excellent design and fairly reliable reputation. roomy on the inside. Fairly efficient on gas, unless you push it and the Turbo charge kicks in.
Full size the give better chance in case of an accident.
Great legroom in the back seat. German driving experience with precision. Dependable and decent power when needed. Great handling in teh city and freeway. very impressed by the MPG on Freeway. about 35 on drives from California to Washington.
I’ve owned German cars since I got my drivers license and I love this one the most. It takes off and goes.. sounds brand new. My only issue is there may be a minor oil leak which I’m getting a second opinion on and there are several round spots where paint chipped off on the hood. Nothing major for a used car unless the oil leak becomes.
I took by 2009 Camry in for state inspection and emissions; it failed emissions due to a leak in a metal pipe. Since the car had high-mileage; was 8-years old and starting to cost me money (it had a major repair a few months earlier), I determined it was time to replace it. I was not ready to go into a new vehicle and was dreading the prospect. I had already decided I would lease my next vehicle and I knew which model it would be. The experience turned out to be one of the best new car experiences I have ever had. An event I had been dreading turned out to be pleasant, painless, and enjoyable. John Sewchek and Maria Ponterio were friendly and helpful, without pressure. They got me into my first leased vehicle quickly, and I left completely satisfied. To anyone thinking about leasing: it's a great way to go! PS I love my new vehicle!

S.E. TIGUAN 7 passenger

This vehicle was purchased by my wife, for my wife, then she gave it to me. Haha. Wasn’t my pick and admittedly different from my previous vehicle (v6 pilot) truly- I average 24-25mpg and these days that adds up to roughly 33% of my payment covered by the gas savings alone, and I’m always first off the line. She’s quick when you stomp on the gas. Smaller yet the seats feel roomier. The back of the seat is heated as well as the seat on the S.E. model which is nice. Sorry VW because I’ve been talking shnit for years but thanks to a series of my wife’s co workers buying VW’s, I negotiated an amazing deal and I’m happier than I’ve ever been with a car purchase. Now let’s see how you handle the test of time....
