Nice car for not a lot of $....

2012 Volkswagen Jetta SEL Premium PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
Owned this vehicle for about 3-yrs. & 45K miles (bought it new). Overall impressed with quality, comfort, value and performance. I stayed away from the TDI because of diesel fuel pricing and the intercooler issues (well documented here). Very happy w/my decision. While this vehicle is not a "sports-car", it does have that "German car feel" to it. Even w/the mileage, it is still pretty … tight feeling drives smoothly. I also get around 28mpg (combined driving), about 1/2 and 1/2. Free maintenance service was nice for the 1st 36K miles.

2012 Volkswagen Jetta SEL Premium PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
I bought this car in August of 2012 from the VW Dealer in Bedford Ohio.
I bought this Jetta new after selling my BMW 5 series before walking into the dealership.
I decided to buy a Jetta since I heard that many people who drive BMW's have switched to the the Jetta model since they like the German engineering.
Biggest mistake I made in my life.
I paid cash for the car and got a black sel … with every feature you could get-including navigation and special
wheels.
All said and done I paid over $30,000.00 for this car with an additional extended warranty.
As for the interior the plastic seats are very uncomfortable.
No power adjustable seats, no telescoping steering wheel.
Sold this car!
