Fun to drive but Thirsty

The car is really fast and handles really well. The only "negative" thing I got to say is that it's too thirsty (and it's Premium also). I get about 450km per full tank driving normal, and 350 km per tank driving fast, but I still LOVE it!!!

"Drivers Wanted"

2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

The GLI is a well-rounded vehicle with great responsiveness in power from the turbo engine. I have owned 6-cyl. engines with less reaction to the gas pedal. Yet, the German performance suspension is athletic and smooth when called to do so. My vehicle has the 17" alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot touring tires which works in concert with the vehicle's performance and agility. The cabin is par with Audi and the exterior is sleek and attractive...just ask the 25 or so people who complemented the vehicle before I arrived home from the dealership. this car is a great value and fun to drive!

Don't Buy the Navigation System

2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl 6A)

My 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 is what I expected except for the navigation system. The navagation system is inferior to others on the market. As an $1800.00 option it doesn't offer much. It provides very little road detail (like road names). In most areas roads don't even appear on the screen. I have a GARMIN IQue 3600 (a $600.00 portable unit) that can run circles around the VW unit for reliability and accuracy. If your going to spend an additional $1800.00 on your new VW get $1200.00 worth of accessories and spend the other $600.00 on a GARMIN IQue 3600. VW did replace the system. The new one is no better than the old. Dealer says "that's as good as they get." Also, my car's engine is noisy when started. It sounds like it needs oil.

Excellent Daily Driver

My 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 is a great daily driver. It has lots of features like the satellite radio, navigation, etc. The leather is improved bigtime as well as interior design, with a quality you only see in higher priced luxury cars. The handling has improved 110% from the previous model. The only quark is to see more of the traditional "German" design to come back. Other than that its a great car!

I have had my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 for five months and have put about 10,000 miles on it. I have had absolutely no problems. I am getting about 32 mpg on the highway. I would recommend this car to anyone.
