Still A Great Value

I now have 57,000 miles on my Jetta. I still haven't had any major mechanical problems. The only issue was a burned out light bulb on one of the daytime running lights that occurred several thousand miles ago. That has been the only thing so far. Mileage in and around town continues to be about 32 - 33 mpg. My best highway mileage is 43 mpg. The 1.8 TSI engine still does not use any oil and has lots of power. I have used synthetic oil from the beginning and change it every 5000 miles. The interior (and trunk) is very roomy and comfortable. The ride is quiet and smooth. My wife's 2016 Jetta S has had no issues either and now has over 30,000 miles.

Want to love it but its so high maintenance

Bought a Jetta because I was in a corner to get a car for son in the middle of the Pandemic. Didn't realize how messed up the marked was but this little car looked nifty and seemed to be in good shape. It's been one little problem after another. Four repairs later and a couple of k - it still has a check engine light. It hesitates on the acceleration. Just changing the headlights took me half a day (actually several attempts). Burns oil like a beast. All that and the nearest mechanic is scheduled months out and the dealership is over an hour away and not very helpful. DON'T BY THIS THING UNLESS YOU LIVE IN A MAJOR CITY

Fun little car greats for a teens first car. Zippy. Handles well. Super safe. Only issue is the maintenance is very high. If you make a lot of money to fix these kinds of cars they aren’t bad just know your going to spend 10s of thousands on maintenance

A very efficient reliable sedan. Efficient with fuel and size is small enough, very practical with the 4 doors, large space in trunk.
