I traded my 2016 Jetta for a 2019 Jetta. I was going in to trade for a Passat but the new Jetta design caught my eye. I never made it to the Passat. I was sold the minute I saw the new Jetta. I really liked my 2016 but it doesn’t compare to my 2019 Jetta. The ride is very smooth. The features that come with the base model are great. Side traffic sensors and the front and rear sensors are nice features to have not to mention the rear back up camera. It doesn’t feel like a small car. I have plenty of room and it’s not a cramped up feeling when hauling four passengers. I’m very pleased with the new design and I’m sure it will serve me well. My 2016 Jetta had 120,000 mile with no issues and I’m sure my 2019 will be as dependable.

I traded a 2014 E350 Mercedes Benz with a v6 and 0-60 in 6 secs. I don't miss it. My 2019 Jetta has a long warranty, which owning a Mercedes I now value more then I ever did (in over 50 years of owning cars). The MPG is so darn good that I keep thinking I should get gas when the tank is still half full. The Jetta is smooth. Shift the automatic to sport mode, and this car will accelerate to any degree a sane driver would ever want to. Shifts really smooth, the ride is comfortable and it's reasonably quiet. Compared to a new Honda Civic, the Jetta is quicker, more of a luxury feel. Apple Car Play comes standard on the base model and that enables the maps navigation which is great, and updates are free and automatic. Should have gotten the full climate control where I set a temp and the car does the rest. The SEL has anything you'll ever want. As far as getting a larger motor, fahgetaboutit, the 2.0l Turbo has the same torque as the standard 1.4l Turbo. I don't know how VW does it. But the 1.4 gets over 40mpg, almost 50 in eco mode on a flat interstate. Update 17,000 miles and 1 year later. Still love the car. No issues requiring repair. I just read what others say about the car, and there are some folks who don't like the ECO mode. Ok, I can see what they're saying, BUT!, use the dang SPORT mode for cryin out loud, it solves the concerns. Other then that, this car is what others promise but don't deliver, blindspot detection, rear cross traffic warning ( saved my wallet when a neighbor ran, yes ran, toward the back of my car when I backed out of the driveway. manure for brains neighbor detection I call it), this and that, all for under 20K. And it handles well, drives great. And so far, it lasts. But, you need to use the 508 spec oil, which is expensive, and the usual car places do not use because they get it cheap in bulk. Because of the turbo and advanced engineering of this motor, VW/Audi has a special oil developed to carry the stress. You'd be well advised to have the oil changed at the dealer, and then check it that it has the green dye. It ain't cheap. The rest of the service intervals are typical VW, no worries, no fuss.

Grinding Noise from Transmission

Purchased new 2019, short time later noticed grinding engine noise when accelerating past 40 km. Something is seriously wrong and dealer claims it's " normal". This is not normal.
It's an ecobox, but has been a good car so far

For a sub $20k vehicle, I really cannot complain. The ride quality is pretty good and the engine is actually quite peppy off of the line. I'm getting around 44-45 mpg on the highway, which is insane for a non hybrid. I've had a few issues with the front sensor malfunctioning and have had to take it in once for them to recalibrate. Ride quality is pretty good, road noise is relatively quiet for this class of car. My only complaints are the weird shifting at low speeds, the 'groaning' at around 30 mph (other jetta owners know what I'm talking about) and eco mode makes the car accelerate like a dog with a broken leg. Normal and 'sport' driving mode feels quite peppy though, it's actually quite surprising how well the car accelerates for a 1.4L (turbocharged) 4 banger.

I have 11,000 miles on this 2019 Jetta. Purchased in Nov. 2019. Engine leaked oil, tires go flat (cheaply made tires). Warning lights come on frequently. The rear warning thing doesn't work and that warning light stays on. Worst of all there is no Warranty on a brand new car! I will never buy another VW!
