Overall this car is not mechanically sound. Recalls are a nightmare. VW has a problem with recalls. They said my model was not on the recall list even though other models that same year has the same problem. Body very prone to door dings. Heated seats stopped working within a year and are 500 bucks to replace. Brakes squeaked since the first day I drove it off the lot brand new and the VW “expert” technicians said that’s normal. And I’m talking about squeak. Sounded like metal to metal. Don’t let good looks fool you. Terribly made cars.

I bought my car at 21,000 miles, I now have 225,000 miles. I have done all service myself. Changed struts, serpentine belt, filters all on time, oil change evert 6,000 miles, car is great but changing headlight bulbs every 3 months. Alternator went out at 200,000 miles. Well worth the money!

I bought this car new in 2014. It's beautiful and drives really well. At first it didn't seem peppy, but I got over that and learned how to get performance out of it.

Fatiguing to drive long distances

Seats are and well shaped and comfortable for about 15 minutes, then you realize they are too hard and fatigue and soreness begins to set in. Road noise is prominent so between the noise and hard seats, the car is not one you look forward to driving long distances. The 2013 Corolla is considerably better for longer trips. I have not driven the resigned 2014 Corolla to see if it is still comfortable on long trips. Another undesirable feature of the Jetta is that the effort required to activate the power windows is very high. I've never experienced that in an American or Asian car.
