Great Car

Best car in its class by far. More space than some cars in the full size class. Best fuel economy. No bad things to be said. Roomy back seat and a huge trunk. Over 40 mpg on the open road. Sound system and navigation A+. Safety features prevented at least two accidents. put 45,000 miles on it no repairs of any kind. Dealer is always pleasant to deal with. Offer discounted service coupons. I can say one bad thing about this car. I have driven the other top rated cars in its class and it is easily better. Go test drive a civic and then the Jetta SEL. Its a no brainer.

2017 Jetta 1.8T TSI Sport

I have purchased a lot of cars and I hope to purchase many more. However, none of those will ever be a Volkswagen product. I have and still own a 2004 Mazda 6 V6 and I was in need of a commuter due to a 89 mile per way commute each day. I purchased a brand new 2017 Jetta 1.8T Sport. This was by far the worst car that I have ever purchased. I complete all repairs and oil changes myself. These cars have major electrical issues. The car had the same designed fan and auxiliary fan design that dates all the way back to the 1999 Jetta. The auxiliary fan failed while it was sitting in the driveway. I fixed it and traded the car in, which I have never done. I was forced to trade it in because the best part of all of this is that NO ONE wants to buy a one year old Jetta! Parts should not fail this soon and I have found that Volkswagen is aware of the issue and they take the Russian Roulette type of stance to the issue. Some cars work and some don't - DAS AUTO.
