I suddenly found myself in the position of needing a another car after my previously-reliable 2006 Subaru Impreza suddenly overheated on me. The Dealer where I had the Subaru taken for service (and from where I had bought it new in 2006) had put me in a white 2013 VW Passat as a loaner for a while, so when it came time to deal and to decide whether to take back my old car or buy a new or certified Pre-Owned car from the dealer, I was pleased when I took on a test drive a blue Certified pre-Owned 2012 Jetta with low mileage. The only thing I didn't like about it was the mostly-plastic dash, but that was a minor tradeoff in return. I bought it and have been happy with it ever since.
I haven Driven Almost Every Car In The World, And this is the best car for the price.

This car is def worth every penny for the price it has. The other competitors cars in the market can not compare its quility, features and history with VW. It drives just as good as any other expensive car. I have own this car for year now and iam just impress every time, its very comfortable, a lot of space and very rised up compare to other sedans. The fuel economy is great for the power it has. I get around 25 - 29 in city and long trip i have gotten numbers above 40 mpgs (using a real data logger). The car come pack of little features must people dont even know about. The is almost matinance free, 10k mile oil change, no timming belt change ever, it uses a map system,means less sensor.
Crappy car

This car is beautiful but expensive to maintain and utter unreliable. I got this car as a cpo with 34k miles. I was excited because this is my first German car .I only used this car for 2 years and when it hits 90k miles all the gremlins and nightmares appeared. This car has gdi engine so carbon build up is common. I had electrical problems at 35k miles which is my wiper motor stopped working in the middle of rain storm. At 40k miles I had door issue, which my door wont lock. At 50k miles carbon build up problem... 60k miles transmission problem. 70k miles another carbon build up issue. 90k miles suspension and bushing gone bad. 100k miles a/c gone bad, EPC came up and engine shuts off by itself. Dealer estimated to fix the whole problem for $9000 which is, i traded the car for scion xB. Better purchase an extended warranty for this car like I did or you will shell out money and it will make you poor. This is a money pit car. Stay away from any vw unless you want to lease it.
