2007 Volkswagen Jetta Value Edition 2.5L Reviews

Performance is above average, the engine is torque-y but it feels if something is desired. The 150hp just doesn't cut it, especially with the horrible fuel economy it's producing at average of 22 city and 30 highway. This can be solved perhaps with an aftermarket intake or even more drastic a turbocharger, but I say only the later if you know what you are doing, and what parts of the vehicle must be compensated for.

Overall built quality is the precise and durable German engineering, the car is solid as a rock, substantially heavier than it's Japanese counterparts, maybe that's why the fuel economy is poor. One complain though, the factory stereo is trash, I think it underpowers the speakers... sound just sound muddy (this is coming from an "audiophile" however).

Appearance in my opinion is very sexy, installing more of a curvy eastern design, yet still retains it's European look.

Overall: needs more power, better fuel economy, and better stereo.
