Silver sleeper
Fast, fun car for everyday driving. Got the Autobahn edition and love the safety, CarPlay, digital dashboard, ventilated seats, and practical utility. Lots of passenger and trunk space for a sedan. I live in FL and drive it to PA once a year. Get 38 MPG on the long trip. Also the seats are terrific over this long journey. I used to get a back ache along the way with the 3 series BMW I used to have. It also has a fabulous climate control system. It handles the hot humid weather easily. My biggest gripe is the lack of adjustment available for the front passenger seat. My wife hates riding in it, likes to drive it. The interior has some hard surfaces . VW could increase the appeal of this car with a few more touches. That said, I enjoy driving the car for trips long and short. It’s a bargain if you want a capable sports sedan.

Unbelievable car!
This car is so underrated. If you are looking for a performance sedan the value is incredible. Real leather comfortable seats that are heated AND cooled. Get the autobahn version. Great sound system, console is turned toward driver for better ergonomics, digital fully customizable dash taken from Audi, 8 inch screen for infotainment and super smooth swipes, good good interior lighting which you have to see to believe, the list goes on and on. Most cars in this segment do not have all the amenities this car has! Rain sensing wipers, a really powerful engine which can be tuned without voiding the warranty to 290 HP and 220 Torque. Power driver seat with 3 person memory. Apple CarPlay. It’s a steal for the price! Have owned many Jettas but this one is special. Really really worth it!

Snazzy sporty and comfy
VW interior finish and feel is great. You close the door and you feel you are in a solid car. The driver display is great. The drive options (DSG) gear box to normal automatic driving is a pleasure. The only two things I do not get is why not have the clock on the dashboard and why is the USB port in a tight spot?

Fun to drive
This is my first vw and I absolutely love it. Take it to the canyon and push the car as hard as you dare and it just hugs the curves.

Nice GLI
A test drive will tell you this is a roomy, driver's, performance sedan. My Biggest complaint is the poor audio quality of the Beats sound system. This Very low fidelity Scratchy nasally buzzy system should be Embarrassing for VW. Otherwise no issues so far. The DSG and drive modes give this car multiple personalities. 12/4/20 Besides listening critically to the Beats audio system carefully before you buy, listen to the noise if it has the Hankook tires. Also gauge the ride quality. You may want to upgrade the tire choice before or after you make the purchase. 6/7/21: 30,000 miles and no quality problems at all. 6/8/23: 2019 GLI, 64,000 miles with no quality or reliability problems at all.
