I bought my 2016 Jetta back in Oct 2020. I found it for sale thru the Auto trader for a decent price and certified with two year warranty. It had 28500 miles on it and looked great. I was kinda leary on a car with only a 1.4L engine in it but after I took it for a test drive I was very impressed with it. Great pick up and very responsive handling. Now this is the S model but I must say Its nicely equipped and very roomie. I do drive for Uber part time and this car is excellent for just that. IM getting 28 mpg locally and hits about 35 on hwy. to any of you considering this car my main advice is to get the all black interior. which is what I got. For those of you in the Pittsburgh area I recommend Moon township Volkswagon. Very friendly staff all around. even when I called a few weeks after my purchase with a concern and the manager took care of it right away without hesitation. If you're a Volkswagon fan like me look them up for great deals on new and used cars. I've put my first ten thousand miles on it and still loving it every day. hopefully this helps any of you who are trying to decide on your next purchase?

2016 GLI Sweet

I've had the GLI SE for over 2 weeks and I'm very impressed. I came across it accidentally in my car research, which is the best thing that happened to me. I was hunting for a mid-size sedan in the mid-$20's with some pep (non-existent) and they dealer said "try the GLI"....I was thinking not another Jetta, boring. But this thing really is a great, comfortable sporty ride. A great roomy alternative to the GTI. I still can find and "expert" review that loves the GLI, probably because these geeks test drive Aston Martins and Lambos all day. I actually look for reasons to drive. I'd recommend if you're looking for a good family car under $30k with a huge trunk, adult leg room in the back (A4 has zero) and of course if you're looking for some torque and HP. Great sound system and throttle noise, albeit probably fake.

Fantastic Car

I echo everyone else's review of this car. It is a tremendous value and you'd be hard pressed to find any other car in this class that can offer you the drive, tech, looks and sheer German performance. I came from an Audi A4 and was about to lease another but then I test drove the Jetta 1.8T Sport. It was fantastic. It is fully loaded with tech (including Android Auto) and the dual-tone leatherette seats, 17" wheels, push button start, navigation, Bluetooth, a backup camera, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, piano-black trim, a rear spoiler, fog lights and the bi-xenon headlight push it over the edge. And all for $23K. Not to mention the speed-proportional power steering. Go test drive one. You won't be disappointed.

I recently just purchased my first VW Jetta with Patrick at Volkswagen on Orange Blossom Trail. He gave the up-most professional service and was friendly! Very accommodating in getting the perfect car. I am in love with it! The technology is great and it is SO smooth to drive. The mileage is awesome as well, 40 MPG, it only takes less than $25 to fill up. The perks you recieve as well are great, the customer service at this dealership really know how to help you out!
