2014 Jetta SE 1.8
reminder, Englewood, CO, 12/30/2013
2014 Volkswagen Jetta SE 4dr Sedan w/Connectivity (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Picked up the car just before Thanksgiving. Covered 800 miles thus far. Handles well, but not a sports car. Has that 'tight' feeling of quality that German cars are often described as having. New turbo motor & the return of the independent rear suspension is the main reason I selected the Jetta over a '14 Mazda 6. The power of the new motor works well being mated to the auto trans. …
Engine is extremely smooth and revs freely. Transmission is quick to up-shift in pursuit of MPG's, but also downshifts quickly if you need to pick up the pace.
Interior is clean with simple controls. Heated seats have been handy with the vinyl seats and the cold temps in my neck of the woods.

My SE with the 1.8L turbo has been sublime so far. Anyone who bothers with the way underpowered 115hp 2.0 base Jetta should check themselves into a mental hospital. Don't go near it. Head straight for the 1.8 in the SE for only a 2-3K more.
This car is so fun and engaging to drive. The 1.8 really performs and it's even better once its broken in. Never at a loss for power and the … ride/handling/comfort are stellar. This car was a steal for what I paid for it (under $20K with discounts). And love the v-tex leatherette heated seats, soft leather steering wheel..etc. Yes the dash is kind of no frills but who cares. It's the driving that it's all about and this car delivers it comfortably.
NICE car especially for the money.

First off the review that says the seats are hard and uncomfortable.......either that's a fake review or the person is demented.
A Corolla....really?
The seats in Jetta are superb.
Been on 3 hour drives and they are simply great and supportive.
The extended and height adjustable armrest is a great idea too.
The 1.8t is noticeably better in all aspects compared to the 2.5....smoother, … faster, better mpgs.
Car handles great, rides like a dream, and soaks up the bumps well.
Averaging 25-27mpg in mixed driving.
Got mine for about 3K under sticker so it was around 19K before tax.
Drives like a much more expensive car.

Owned for seven other then normal oil changes, replace a battery and tires I have only had two mechanical problems and actuator on the door locks and a pulley on the alternator go bad this has been the most inexpensive vehicle to maintain that i have ever owned my only complaint is the cup holder in center console keeps coming apart.
