Used 2006 Volkswagen Jetta Consumer Reviews
Love that Jetta!
As a new owner, I have found that it is too close to the high beam switch. This is my second Jetta. I had the old style and when I traded it there was 199,000 miles in it. I love the new style and performance with the independent rear suspension and 10 extra horse power. The new style is really beautiful. I wouldn't buy anything else. I was told I would average 41 mpg highway and I am averaging 47 on the highway. As always, VW has under promised and over delivered. This is an OUTSTANDING vehicle.
Bad Auto Transmission
Great Car on fuel mileage, however; about 1000 miles after warranty expired (60,000), transmission goes out. The dash rattles which gets annoying. The car handles good.

One nice 4 door rocket
This car gets great preformance, has lots of room, has good handling for a front wheel drive vehicle, and gets good fuel economy
Pretty good
I've only owned Hondas and one Subaru (a WRX) before this car, and I wanted something different and cheaper. I got a really low lease on this car. This car is fine. It's anonymous, comfortable-just real easy to live with. It's different than Japanese cars, though. It makes weird noises, and some of the controls seem counterintuitive. I've had absolutely no reliability problems so far, which is unexpected.
Jetta review
I bought the car for the fuel economy, but I am very pleased with all aspects. I have not yet had even one small problem and the comfort is excellent considering I am 6'3" and over 220. Its fuel mileage consistently over 40 mpg. The satellite radio is a nice feature that I recommend as are the leatherette seats. The diesel has a ton more power than the one I use to drive back in college ('83 model). Its exterior styling gets a ton of looks, and if your undecided on gas or diesel, it's a no brainer - go diesel; everywhere I go the car gets noticed and the first question out of everyone is whether the car is a TDI. In summary, I promise you'll be happy with this vehicle.
