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!

Traded in at 30k

I bought a Jetta sport brand new in 2023, immediately had problems and decided to cut my loses at 30k miles. Brake pads had to be replaced at 6k miles (model issue not driver), had to refill coolant multiple times (dealer said no leak) and the rear brakes would scream when in reverse. The final straw was was when the ESP light came on at 30k miles and I was unable to accelerate. Sharp looking car, fun to drive and great on gas. I really did like this car but knew it would have a ton of future problems. I would have been better off buying a Honda or Toyota,

Great features horrible ride

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.
