A zippy sports sedan without a high price tag

I LOVE my new 2018 Jetta. I have the Sports model and I could not be happier with it. I have been a loyal VW driver for 18 years and this car does not disappoint.The exterior is so slick looking and eye catching. I love the way it gets looks when I am driving and the "invitation" to "race" from much more expensive cars, has me gleeful every time.. The interior is also quite sleek. The black headliner and all black interior is so sexy. The driver's seat fits me and is comfortable, unlike the seats in the 2015 Golf (my previous car). The infotainment center has undergone a huge upgrade and it is so easy to use, practical and fun. There are not a lot of bells and whistles but I don't need them. The only things I miss from my Golf are the sunshade extenders and having air/heat vents in the back seat. Why aren't there any there? I think this is a major design flaw. I also wish the stereo was heftier. The speakers are already in need of some tune up and it has only been a month. I am enjoying the more comfortable ride of the Jetta. It is smooth and responsive. It feels like it is "floating" over the road in a good way. The acceleration is quick (but not as zippy as the Golf) and the car feels heavy and safe. I am getting used to the keyless entry. I don't love that ....and I am so happy to have the ENORMOUS trunk. I adore this car. I look forward to (hopefully) many years of fun and safe driving.

Stylish but somewhat misleading

The car is priced fair for quality. I traded in a BMW X5 and I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of the interior materials (cheap cloth like fabric). The back up camera is awful and there are no alerts to tell you if you're getting close to anything. There is no navigation equipped unless you download an app on your phone and plug in to usb and then your phone is disabled from all other operations and use. You get gray blank squares across your screen for all radio stations because the HD radio doesn't get signal in most areas. MPG is nowhere near what they claim, mid to upper 20's at best. You will get periodic message on radio screen when you put it in reverse that will say "Park pilot currently unavailable". This is because the cars don't come equipped with it but computer shows malfunction because it's searching for something that isn't there. Extremely frustrating!!!!!! I've taken it to dealer and there is no fix! Just be aware that this is common issues with the VWs.

Great value for what it offers. I highly recommend it!!! Coming out of a BMW 335i it offers all bells & whistles (Except for the 3.0 twin turbo) for less then half price. It comes preloaded with "Carplay, Bluetooth, backup camera, sunroof, and much more. No optionals which makes it great to negotiate.
