Used 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Consumer Reviews
Great value and fun to drive too!
Just leased the 2010 LE automatic last week. I have to admit this is one fun car to drive. Fit and finish are on par with BMW and Mercedes. I just came off of a 5 series BMW lease, and my wife drives a 300 AWL Benz. I actually prefer the ride of the Jetta to the Benz. Not quite a challenge to the BMW's handling and performance, but for less than half the price it's a pretty good trade off. The cabin is extremely quiet, even over rough pavement, and the car corners through turns very confidently with just modest body roll. Acceleration is reasonably quick. The car has a heftier feel to it which belies it's actual weight. This translates into what feels like a more substantial road presence.
Incredible machine!
The 2010 Jetta TDI is far and away the finest car I have ever owned. It is tightly constructed and a joy to drive. Best of all is the mileage: in a mix of highway and suburban driving, I consistently get in the mid-to-high 40's, sometimes over 50 mpg. I like the styling (last year for this style) and the interior quality is excellent. While not a screamer, performance is beyond adequate. In 20 months, I have put over 47,000 miles on this car with very few issues. My wife has a Honda Accord, and she is very jealous of my Jetta. I'm very pleased!

Solid Effort from VW Lets You "Go Green"
2010 Jetta TDI; Graphite Blue, Titan Black interior; 6 spd; 17" rims. Love the styling of this car inside and out -- paint color is absolutely gorgeous. Interior fit and finish is stellar, especially for this price range. Trunk is enormous. Everything you touch feels solid and thoroughly German. Genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter a nice touch. V-tex seating surfaces do get insanely hot, but they're the best synthetic leather interior pieces I've seen -- can't wait to try the heated seats in the winter. Above-average mileage around town, terrific mileage on the highway. It's not a dragster, but accelerates strongly on the highway (3rd-6th), and is quite bored at 90 mph.
The Wolfsburg
My wife picked it out and she is the primary driver. Bought the car new in Miami, Florida. This is the daily commuter car (15 miles each way) and for vacations. I know there are reviews out there about many issues with the Wolfsburg Edition VW, but I have not had any problems with this car. Average about 30-32 mpg interstate, 22-25 mpg around town. The car is 11 years old and has 144K on it. My wife and I looked at several cars, but we left because she really didn't find anything she liked better. We have a BMW that is nicer, but also about twice the price of this one. I like the seats, the car is peppy and really moves if you step on it. Oh and everything works. Everything, I replaced a headlight 2 years ago and have routine maintenance on it. We use the full synthetic oil as well. We have decided next year the son will take it off to college in Orlando and I don't have any qualms about sending him off to school in this car. I hope this helps.
Poor man's BMW
This car is a great value. It is supremely comfortable for folks over 6' tall, only Volvos have more comfortable seats. The interior is very upscale for a $23k car. The new audio and climate controls, and new gauge cluster are easy and add a touch of class. The power and handling are incredible too. I never thought comfort and performance could be had in spades, together in the same car. Averaging 30+ MPG combined driving with a lead foot. Love the thoughtful features like climate system going into recirculate mode when you use the windshield washer or go into reverse.. prevents fumes from entering the car. There is also tons or room for a car this size, and a 16 cubic ft trunk
