Used 2014 Volkswagen Jetta S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Good value
I live in the mountains of So Cal this car pulls the mountain just fine it averages 28 mies per gallon overall.It has 29000 miles and has only seen the shop for oil changes.I am totaly satisfied with this car. This is no sports car so dont complain if you want more pay for it and quit complaining.
Okay basic car
Bought it in 2016 with 18,000 miles on it, sold it in 2021 with 54,000 miles. Seemed to get us where we needed, but traded it in for a minivan because of our growing family. Maintenance was just routine oil changes, however the dealer wanted to replace the motor mounts when we turned it in. It seemed to drive fine with the exception of feeling a little underpowered at times, such as getting onto a freeway or climbing a hill. Trunk space and interior space was pretty decent for a compact car. I'm 6 feet tall and it was almost enough space. Wife is 5-7 and was fine for her, who actually drove it the most. In fact, the trunk and interior felt almost as spacious as a mid sized sedan.

REPAIRS GALORE
I bought this car brand new and have maintained it properly, following all of the recommendations. Lasted me about 90k miles and then suddenly the car has trouble shifting into and out of gears. I take it in and spend $1k on repairs. Within hours of leaving the dealership, the car will not start. They offer to scan it again for free, but only if I drive it to the dealership an hour away. Don't buy this car!

A Perfect Sedan For Most Consumers At A Very Good Price
To start with, and in full disclosure I rated my new 2014 Jetta S with the 6-speed automatic with many 5 stars as I feel the professional test drivers who put out review video's and write professional reviews for a living are not really representing the average American on what they are truly looking for in a car. Who really wants or needs a 300 horsepower four door sedan that does 0-60 in five seconds. Look to a Corvette for that. Who really wants and needs soft leather on the dash and full interior. Look to a Lexus for that. Volkswagen should not be overlooked for several reasons including build quality, safety, handling, and tons of interior room to name a few. Did I mention value.
VW NIGHMARE
This whole experience with VW has been a NIGHTMARE! I was complaining about fuel consumption of the car (14 mpg on 2 liter engine) since September. I took the car to the dealerships 4 times! 3 times - to Royal, and 1 - to Serramonte. They both REJECTED not only to fix the issue but even to test the car properly!! Royal told me that I have to pay for the test myself! WHY? The car IS on WARRANTY! When my car was at Royal they gave me a rental car which I paid for twice more than they have reimbursed. Serramonte just declined giving me a spare car or reimbursing any taxi expenses! None of them fixed anything!
