Jetta — Nice car. Suprising boot space. Ipod connector thumbs up. Diesel performance where have you been all my life. Torque + economy. Quiet. Nice ride and handling. Quality seems first rate also. Spec is impressive for the money. A much under- rated car in this market

Fun Car To Drive And Great Commuter — Overall a great car - very fun, good fuel economy, sporty yet sophisticated. Has similar feel of luxury higher end 3 series BMW or c-class Benz without the added cost and gets better fuel economy. Lower cost of maintenance vs. luxury options as well. Highly recommend this car.

Been Great Reliable Car — This is an excellent commuter car that gets 45 + mpg, comfortable, performs very well in the rain and snow. When it's cold, the heated seats warm up quickly as does the motor. Recommend as a first car or commuter any day!

Pros

Great diesel millage, i get ~50MPG on 20 mile freeway trip and 32MPG on a 10 mile city trip

Cons

could get a little loud on start up on cold morning, you still can't hear it that much more than a gas car from inside the cabin but from outside it is louder until the car warms up (5 minutes)

Great Car — I would definitely buy this car again if i can, the high torque from the diesel engine doesn't make it feel as sluggish as i have felt other 4 cylinder gas cars were. I would also recommend this car to any friend.

With the six speed manual it gets awesome fuel economy and is peppy for a 140hp diesel out of the box from the dealer.  

Cons

Love It — There is nothing to dislike... My wife got sick and cant drive it anymore. It handles like a sports car and gets awesome fuel mileage. The trunk will hold a lot more than you think possible from looking at it from the out side.

Pros

it handles like a sports car, but has the capacity of a family car. the gas miliage is incredible for this size of car and the trunk space is shocking. the seats are super comfortable for really long drives.

Cons

hopefully I won't forget it's diesel one day, and we haven't had to pay for expensive diesel repair yet.

Awesome Car! — I still have it and love it! nothing wrong with it at all! It handles like a sports car, the turbo really kicks in quick, even though it's not immediate. The brakes are strong, and yet it has a safe family car feel as well. I highly recommend it!

Pros

only 50 bucks to fill the tank that can take you 600 miles

Cons

Hesitates from a starting position. Probably because it's a diesel

Pros

Where do I start?  Comfy interior, great amenities for the price, excellent handling, great torque, smooth ride, amazing gas mileage, no-fuss to maintain... I loved it.

Cons

The only "negative" was that I chose stick instead of automatic, and my wife doesn't drive a stick...

25

Fantastic Car! — I totally loved my little Jetta... the gas mileage was insane (I usually only have to gas it up once a month..!). It's super fun to drive (these TDI's have great torque) and it handles really well - this coming from the guy whose prior car was a BMW 335 convertible.

I like the front grill of the car.  Great points for style.

Family Car — I traded in my VW Jetta GLI to get this car for my wife when we had our first child. A very solid and dependable car for the money. It came loaded with tons of options that many other cars in its class simply don't offer. The touch screen radio with iPod dock is really nice to have for daily drives as well road trips. Surprisingly large trunk space. The full size spare tire is also a nice addtion.

just about anything you could wan,t this car provides

Cons

only reason I can see not to buy this car is the occasional lag.

25

Would Buy Another One — Overall love the car, Appearance is great, performance is good overall, except for occasional lags in acceleration, breaking is great, vehicle is very well built, average 42mpg (fair amount of in town driving, around 50%), & while oil changes are expensive, they only are recommended every 10k (synthetic only), the car is a blast to drive (except when it lags)
