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,

Just bought because it rides like a dream. Better then the slug sonata and more comfy than the accord. Only have 30 miles on it. I got the sport trim because it has cushy bigger cloth seats v to SE, only reason.

Good features, uncomfy ride

First purchased the vehicle on a Saturday, was ecstatic with the features the car had, sunroof, leather, acc. Yet I failed to realize just how the car was. After a couple days driving, I realized I got a headache from it, the brakes grab too much at the low end, even at the top they try braking too quick, the toque wants to drive if you were in a sports car. Overall I was not the only one sick from this car, maybe it’s the stock tires, or the ride height, or lack of tints. Just overall unpleasant to drive. Also a lackluster audio system with no Bluetooth CarPlay.

Quality has gone down on Jettas

This is my third Jetta, a 2023 Sport. Sadly, the rear pads and rotors need to be replaced after only 13,000 miles. Deal cost is over $600, and it's pretty ridiculous to be replacing brakes at almost every oil change. I drive really mellow to save gas, use the engine to downshift when possible, and have mainly freeway miles. I wrote VW and they said they won't cover it. There must have been issues with these because they issued an extended warranty on brake pads for 2 years or 24,000 miles, but I came in for service 2 months too late. I miss my 2016 Jetta that got better MPG, had no hesitation on acceleration like the 2023, and the brakes lasted about 40k miles. The steering was also more responsive than the new design in my opinion. The new design for the air vents / AC is also poorly placed. There's no way to get it positioned to a comfortable place, and definitely not if you're trying to adjust it for passengers as well. I'm glad I got a deal on mine, and it's still one of the best for the cost, but not after you factor in the crazy repair costs. I'll be doing my own repairs as much as I can after this, and probably buying aftermarket parts because the VW OEM have gone downhill in the last 10 years.
