Noise from engine as I accelerate

My car has less than 300 miles on it and it is a month old. I've noticed that each time I accelerate onto a highway or high speed roadway- there is a weird noise that emanates from the engine between 25-30 MPH that last for a few seconds- metal on metal type of sound.

Love my new Jetta! Comfortable, easy to handle, and just the right size. This is my 3rd Jetta and I'll continue purchasing this model forever!

About 6 months ago I was looking at new cars and was deciding between this car and the honda accord. I went with the accord and got hit a few weeks ago and received the jetta as a rental. i’ve had the jetta for over a month and I absolutely hate it. The car drives like a tin can. The acceleration is horrible and the brakes are also not smooth to break on. If you are planning on getting this car beware that this car has no power so if you like getting some power then this car is not far you. It also drives particularly horrible on the highway. It is extremely hard to get any power on the highway, which makes highway driving difficult. Another thing I noticed is how cheap everything feels inside the car, don’t get me wrong it has great safety features inside, but it feels very plasticy and cheap. It is not a car I feel safe in or feel is reliable. It is not a smooth drive at all! I am so glad this is only a rental car because I would have regretted actually buying this car very much.

I extensively test drove the GLI…nice looking car. For me the engine noise and the road noise was not acceptable. It is German engineered but definitely cheapened by pretty stark interior design. The radio is, well, worse than an old Hyundai. I ended finding a gorgeous Camry SE for $2000 less. Toyota quality, it can’t be beat.
