2013 Jetta SE 2.5L

I have had this car since October 2013. In the first 3 years I put 75,000 miles on it, it currently has 116,000 miles. The car has been relatively trouble free, I had one brake line leak on to the caliper causing it to rust quickly. Other than that this car has been great, the 2.5 l is peppy with the triptonic auto trans... this cars stock airflow is very restrictive.... open her up a bit for some cheap fun. Maintenance has always been a little more expensive then my honda, nissan, toyotas, etc., however I do the basic stuff ..brakes, calipers, oil, struts, on my own so that helps. Overall a good purchase, feels upscale and quiet compared to the other cars in this class from the same year.

I traded my Corolla in for the top of the line Jetta SEL and I never looked back. Great product from VW! It had leatherette seats, heated, AMAZING Fender sound system, comfortable ride, NAV system was easy to use. MPG was lower than I expected, I was averaging 28 MPG 70% highway.

Like other reviewers I had a bit of buyers remorse upon driving this car home from the dealer. No auto headlamps, compass, auto dimming review mirror or back up cam left me a little disappointed. The car grew on me once I got used to it. It is fun to drive and I enjoy getting 50 mpg on the highway. At 8k the paint on the front bumper started to chip off very easily. After three different attempts to have VW repaint the bumper they refused to do so. This was my first VW and will be my last. I will not buy cars from a manufacturer that doesn't stand behind it's product. A follow up to my previous review. Luckily I traded the Jetta in Dec of 2014. It was the worst car I have ever purchased. Had I kept it I would have lost thousand of dollars in value after the Emission Cheating Scandal came to light. I will never own another VW.

The VW Jetta with the 2.5 (5-cylinder) engines are Great Cars. Soon this engine will only be available on much more expensive automobiles. Everyone seems to be going to a dinky 1.4 - 1.8 size engine with a turbo charger. ... s i g h
