Pros

Great when brand new.

Cons

Steep down hill after 6 months.

Too Many Recall Notices. — Wolfsburg has a turbo charger. Dealship kept on refusing that there was something wrong. I've driven other turbo charged vehicles so I know what a lag is. The lag was HUGE and it was not corrected... since about six months into the lease.

Good in the winter with snow tires

Cons

No leather in the Wolfsburg Ed.

It's Out Dated — It's been a good reliable car... except when the fuel pump died. Still like Audi much better for comfort and quattro, nothing beats AWD

Pros

Fully Economic, Comfortable interior, awesome exterior

Cons

Seems to have some spots of rust, acceleration sometimes not always enough

Awesome Car! — I have a fully equipped 1.9TDI and I love the acceleration, even if this is not the best. It's easy to make 950kms with about 50liters of diesel even if you drive at 140km/h... (said too much I think :D). The interior is awesome, I like the lighting at night and the heating seats. Leather is good quality and I like very much the 2-way sunroof.

Pros

Monsoon Audio. BBS rims and a sport-tuned suspension

Cons

Needs a little more omph.

Wolfsberg Is Where Its At — The Wolfsberg Edition Jetta is exactly what a Jetta should be. A four door sedan with a tight suspension and a monsoon audio system to lure the driver to go on a cruise. Even though the Jetta is front-wheel drive the sport-tuned suspension was toght enough to make it feel sporty.

Excellent Commuter Car For Longer Distances — excellent mileage and handling with over 300,000km and counting. Definitely needs its maintenance done properly and on time.
