2024 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Underrated car - here's why
If you listen to car reviewers, they'll say to get the SE version because it's worth the extra price for the features you get. The reality is the S gives you everything you need: comfy seats, all the VW IQ Drive features and the same zippy engine and transmission. And it has the fun VW feature where you can lower all the windows with your remote before entering. We live in a value era now and this fits. Save your extra $$ for a new couch or something. I used Edmunds to make an informed choice. They also helped point me to dealers where I got an excellent price. Some are a bit wary of manufacturers operating in Mexico and lower build quality than say Japan, Germany or the US. VW has been in Puebla, Mexico since 1966 and this is where all Jettas for the US market are made. If anyone has Mexican manufacturing dialed in, it's them. The 8 speed automatic is nice and it's an Aisin unit, made by Toyota. I've driven many CVTs and this feels better. Acceleration is amazing and freeway entry is no longer a worry. In a nod to the past, my S still has a key, not push button start like the other models. You also need to press the brake to start. Some people dislike this but it's always been a habit of mine. The S also has a very simple head unit with few buttons and easy to use controls. The AC controls are all manual knobs which is nice. Some cars have everything in the head unit and you're in trouble if it ever breaks.

Good Vehicle
I purchased 2024 Jetta Sport with manual transmission. Overall it's a decent vehicle for a very reasonable price. The seats are comfortable enough except that passenger seat is positioned very low and cannot be raised. The car pillow fixes that. Front seats are heated and material is nice. Audio system is very basic and there is nothing to brag about. Digital instrument cluster in front of driver is very clear and provide plenty of information with different screen modes. Infotainment screen in the center is very small and I need to put my glasses on sometimes to see the detais. Visibility is very good on all sides. Manual gearbox is awesome. It is very easy to operate. The gears are tall and 6th gear keeps low RPM which translates into amazing fuel economy. I achieved 50 MPG on a highway easy. Engine is a different story. Power delivery is inadequate at low RPM and turbo lag is significant until 1500 RPM. Lower gear is needed sometimes whenever other cars I drove before did not require that. Using premium gas improves this a bit, but not much. I am also not a big fan of "rev-hang" when changing gears, but it is there. Trunk is a good size. No complaints there. If it wasn't for the engine, I would give it a perfect score. But, still you can't buy today anything as decent as Jetta for this price. I can recommend it.

MY VW, "Looks like your Audi " LOL
This is my first VW Product and i must say the overall Value is quite impressive. Priced in the mid to low 20,000 range, the sport version is a value package you should consider before stepping our to the SE and SEl. However, i was on a budget and it works for me. go. If you're looking for a refined look without lots of flash, the sport pkg offers very nice features and the ride is European engineered. Fuel consumption is exceptional. And the Sport trim is nice looking and offers everything you need in a car. Overall, the VW Sport Jetta 2024 is more expensive looking that the actual cost would imply. If you like the Audi 4 , you'll like the VW Sport Jetta in 2024. I was at a traffic light parallel to The Audi yesterday both cars in white. aside from the emblems on the vehicles, you couldn't tell the difference. I proudly joked with the other owner! Saying, "MY VW Looks Like Your Audi!... LOL BTW Jack Daniels is very Nice to do Business with...

Exceeded Expectations!
I ended up getting a 2024 VW Jetta SE and could not be happier. It is a great car to drive. Very smooth, has good pick up, and an overall perfect ride. The standard features on the SE compared to other cars, like the Honda Civic Sport, are much better in my opinion. It has a stylish, yet modest look. For the price point and class of the vehicle, it is very fun to drive. Bonus points as well for it being quieter than other cars in its class. With the incredible fuel economy and standard tech features, I really believe the SE is the best compact sedan on the market. Love my Jetta!

More than expected!
I primarily bought the Jetta for price but have been surprised by how solid the car feels. Fuel economy is great 37 mpg so far. Handles nicely and is comfortable. Highly recommend.
