2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 6AM)
Review
I traded in a hybrid for the increased power and nominal trade-off in mileage. I love the amount of power in the diesel engine while still getting great gas mileage. Passing, accelerating, cruising, are all easy and confident maneuvers that were frenetic in the hybrid. I'm completely hooked on torque with so much available at a low rpm. I'm hoping that more companies come out with diesels to provide some good competition to this one.
Favorite Features
Torque!!! DSG automatic gives me enough of the manual characteristics to not feel too bad about skipping the manual so my wife could drive my car. Gas mileage averages about 36 mpg since I do mostly city driving, but on the open freeway, 45mpg is easy.
Suggested Improvements
Lower wind and road noise. The stereo makes my ears hurt, how about a bona fide premium stereo? iPod interface is horrible. Creaking front suspension popped up at about 5k miles, and has been in twice to be corrected. The vinyl seats don't breathe well making summer driving hot even with AC on.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
Review
This is the first Volkswagen that I've ever owned. I looked at others in its class and the features that are standard on the Jetta are better then the other vehicles out there. The Jetta has been a fun car to drive and almost makes me feel young again. I am disappointed with the A.C.. It does not produce alot of cold air.
Favorite Features
Sat. radio, the red and blue displays, trunk liner, trunk entry from the rear seat.
Suggested Improvements
The A.C. needs MAJOR help. Living in Florida,I have not been impressed. Other then the A.C., I do not have any complaints. Great car.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 6AM)
Review
The car has 1400 miles and has been a hoot to go through city driving. We average about 35-36 mpg. We have yet to really put it on the highway for a long haul, but we will next week. We have gotten as high as 38mpg, but hope to see some 40+mpg. The car had marks in the paint due to shipping, but was corrected by the dealer. The radio sound is great and the seats are most comfortable. I love coming to a light and leading the traffic with this little jewel. This is really the wife's car, but I drive it when I am with her. The mileage does drop 1-2 mpg when using the air conditioner. The panoramic moon roof is really neat and does not feel hot inside with the sun screen shade covering.
Favorite Features
diesel, panoramic roof, radio, seats, DSG, mpg
Suggested Improvements
steering wheel radio controls, leather, auto lights, better tires with grip, auto dim mirror

Review
Great design with great handling. Turbo is quick with power to spare. Car has all the great options needed and a great sounding stereo. First time foreign car owner so hoping it's a good one!
Favorite Features
Turbo and transmission go hand in hand.
Suggested Improvements
A compass! Better more solid armrest. Better paint/clear coat. Don't know where or why so many chips on the hood. My 2000 Ford has less with 180,000+ miles driving same roads.

Review
Since purchased it has meet all my needs. Exceptional mileage, worst 40 mpg best 53 mpg. Just what I was looking for, fells strong drving over bad roads. Comfortable even for 6 footers. Only issue getting to it before my wife. Although it only has 4000 miles if it maintains 80% of what it is now, I will buy a new one again.
Favorite Features
Mileage and style,comfort

Put TDI in larger Car.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 6M)
Review
We test drove a 2009 Jetta TDI wagon to compare it to our 2002 TDI wagon. Our 2002 gets mileage almost 10 mpg higher than the 2009. Fit and finish are about the same. With diesel now lower priced than gas here in our state, and teh difference in mileage, we will keep running our 2002 for a long time to come. After VW screwed up and lowered the mileage, find yourself a 2002 or 2003 TDI diesel if you can and buy that instead. They command a huge price premium in our area being they are so much better than the 2009 models.
Favorite Features
none
Suggested Improvements
Put the engine and running gear from the 2002/2003 back into the Jetta TDI and reclaim the extra 10 mpg on the highway

Review
Love this Wagon, and have found new features while using it on a road trip. One BIG problem is that the seats hug your back and don't let your lower back rest normally onto the seat. It almost squeezes your upper back and doesn't allow for proper breathing. Besides that, very happy with the my VW and would recommend it to anyone.
Favorite Features
Power outlet to charge gizmos
Suggested Improvements
Seats to fit people with bog shoulders and lumbar support.
