This car is a great choice. Te sports shift makes the performance of this little black Jetta a joy to take on winding roads. Much fun driving!!!

When buying this car you get a perfect sized car for almost everything. In normal drive mode you can sometimes have to live with a little break between shifts but put it in sport mode and shifts tighten, and the car accelerates like a dream! Always look forward to driving it and really enjoy being an owner.

Love the car - Gas mileage is outstanding, very comfortable to drive, plenty of get up and go and hugs the road like a sports car. I am sorry to have to trade it in but it is in my best interest to do so. Really want to keep it but am not sure how the modification will affect performance. UPDATE: VW bought my diesel back in October of 2017. It was a great car. I miss it.

Driving the Jetta has been nothing but a pleasure. It's really very comfortable, reliable, and affordable. The gas mileage is better than I thought. It's a great looking car, inside and out. We enjoy the sound system and the sunroof. Driving has truly been an excellent experience in our new VW Jetta.

I bought this car brand new from dealership. 120+k miles later no issues so far. Only a door seal started to tear off around 50k or so. The driver seat pleather has some cracks and tear. Meh those are kinda expected. Otherwise I've had no major issues with my car. I do appreciate the soft touch interior I had on my 2004 GTi that the TDI doesn't have, but, with heated seats and sun roof as standard options, I can't complain. The center consol also started to come on when the car is off around 100k. Lastly, I went a manual because it is just cheaper, more fun, and easy maintenance. But first gear started to have some issues getting in around 120k. Don't care to pay mechanic 2k to look into it as it still works.
