I love the zip of this car. It’s compact but not confining. Fits two adults and 3 kids ranging from 13-4 with a car seat just fine.

The second one was not a charm...

I just sold my 2013 Jetta SE with 124,000 mile and purchased a 2018 Jetta SE. The different between 2013 & 2018 are night and day when comes to quality, performance and ride. The 2018 has come down in all three - quality, ride and performance. When it comes to assuming things don't, I figured the 2018 Jetta would be as good or better than the 2013 and I made a big mistake for that assumption. They are not the same car and will never be, if you like a ho-hum mediocre car than the 2018 Jetta is for you. I do have to say the price was right at $19,754 and 1.9% for the 2018 Jetta SE, the warranty seems to be one of the best on the market at 60 mo/72k miles but overall I should have look further before I made the purchase.

I got this car as a substitute while my Jetta TDI was getting emission overhaul. It drives nicely and confidently, much more than a 2017 Corolla or even 2010 Mazda 3. Some noise from the 1.4t engine when revved up, but a nice noise - like subdued noise from race cars. The engine has enough power but has some turbo lag. The transmission shifts smoothly. This car can be driven dynamically with little effort and lots of fun. Fuel consumption at 50 mph is > 40mpg. For perfection, it needs to be a bit quieter (although it is not loud) and needs adaptive cruise control.

Jetta still driving well. She still drives like she is pretty much new. I'd say the handling has changed only for the better. All systems are a go and this Jetta has made for a great commuter. Agile with enough room. Automatic transmission in sport mode is very zippy.

I owned a 2016 Tiguan before purchasing the Jetta SE. I am not a fan of SUVS, but I purchased the Tiguan because my wife wanted it. After much discussion she agreed to purchasing the Jetta. She misses the extra height of the Tiguan, but that is about it. When I took the Jetta out for a test drive, I expected the 1.4liter engine to be a slug. I was very surprised that it felt peppier than the 2 liter Tiguan. I would guess that the 800 lb weight advantage and less turbo lag is the reason. Also, the transmission shifts faster than the Tiguan. I was also a little hesitant about the quality because of what I read about cars coming from Mexico. The new 72,000 mile 6 year warranty made me believe that VW must have changed something to be able to offer this warranty. Actually, the car is truly Multi National. It is designed in Germany, Engine is built in Germany, the Transmission is built in Japan, Misc parts are built in Mexico and the car is assembled in Canada. Around town I average around 30mpg. I live in the Tampa Bay area, and we just went to Daytona Beach which is around 135 miles. I averaged 41.5 mpg. Because of the way the car handled, and how comfortable the seats are, I wasn't a bit tired of driving the Jetta. It does ride firm, so if you are from a state with bumpy roads, you may want to buy the Passat instead.
