2013 Volkswagen Jetta SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
14 of 18 people found this review helpful
I have been driving for 39 years and have owned 16 different cars. This will be my first, and last, VW. I bought this 2013 Jetta with 32,015 miles. At 34,200 miles the air conditioning compressor went out....thank goodness for the warranty! I now have 42,100 miles, and since the warranty expired I have had to replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition lock, ignition housing, and brakes. I have also had problems with some of the plastic interior knobs coming off. Unfortunately, many mechanics do not like working on German made cars, which limits who will fix your car. This, along with expensive parts, makes repair and maintenance a lot more expensive than your normal US, Japanese, or Korean car. I currently have a 2006 Tacoma with 196,000 miles with no issues, and drove a Civic for 210,000 miles with no problems. For a 3 year old car with less than 43,000 miles I have had way to many problems with my Jetta....and doubt it will make it to 100,000 miles. My advice is buy a, Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Honda, or anything that does not have a VW logo. Sorry to be a bummer, but stay away from this car!

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.
Get one of these 5-cylinder SE Jetta's asap.

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
