Purchased a 2015 Jetta SE with 26k miles , at 28k need a new engine. Used as a commuter car, no heavy handling, just broke. Initial interest was because I had two prior Jetta’s and found them reliable. Not anymore!!

I just bought my 2015 Jetta on September 7th, 2018, from a dealership in Glen Burnie, MD. I have already put $191.47 into this vehicle for an alignment. I will also have to put $757.09 toward fixing the broken Bluetooth module! I am beyond irate. I love this vehicle, but I upgraded to a new vehicle to AVOID putting loads of money into something! Especially something I JUST purchased! As a single mom, I dont have the luxury of dropping damn near $1000 toward a vehicle that I already pay on monthly.

Poor acceleration in the city: heavy car with auto transmission which is "jerky": in 2017 you still get non-CVT type of transmission (that this is why gas mileage is so poor for such small 1.4 L engine. Very under-powered for heavy car like this). High maintenance costs (oil changes are $80 and up and if you do it yourself, VW voids the Warranty). Few mechanical issues were with the car but VW did not fix it right away (like my ex-Toyota dealer). Car is still on warranty but a dealer wanted me to pay "for diagnostics". I am not doing this because it's lease and I am driving it to the ground so to speak.

Shopped around and looked at many different models both import and domestics. This one by far is the best bang for the buck. Very quiet and handles like a dream! Very impressed!

More than basic transportation

We needed a low cost vehicle to replace my used 2007 Toyota Camry that had been totaled in an accident. I had established a budget of $16,000. I bought the Volkswagen based on its established reliability, and it has not disappointed me. I opted for the 5 speed manual to keep within budget. I received a small solid, reliable vehicle, that's actually classy looking. My only option on the base model were the 16 inch alloy wheels. The vehicle has been absolutely trouble free and cost effective.
