2005 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5LReview

Whew I Love My Baby! — Love my baby! Drives like a dream, great XM radio, lots of fun to drive, mechanically sound. Car has great acceleration, and is very roomy inside. It is bigger inside than my father's Lexus IS 350, a car that I disdain to the ends of the earth. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Lots of fun to drive; corners on a dime! Cons: a bit pricey... ![]() Looking for a Used Jetta in your area?CarGurus has 10,016 nationwide Jetta listings starting at $1,900. |

Nice Car... Don't Let Your Factory Warrenty Run Out. — Its been 3 years since I bought my pre-owned Jetta...now 34,000 mi. No major problems so far. Had A/C compressor replaced once, also motor on gas tank latch. Its beginning to rattle more than usual, but still a fun car to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Fun and peppy midsize car. Cons: Start-up sounds like a diesel. |

My Jetta — Performance- 1st Gear: 1-20mph exellent acceleration 2nd Gear: 20-35mph Pretty Good After 2nd gear it's nothing special. I don't really like the style of the car but alot of other people do so I dont complain. Front wheel drive car with above average handling. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Great beginner car to drive. Good handling and fun. Cons: My CD player broke. Very weak body, easily damaged. |
2005 Volkswagen Jetta GLSReview
Nicholas writes:
Nice Vw Jetta — The care is very nice. It handles well and is a smooth ride. The sun/moon roof is nice. The truck is really big. The down side of the car is that it doesnt have much acceleration but the up side to that is that it gets around 30 miles a gallon. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: It rides nice, nice stereo system, awesome MPG Cons: Not much get up and go |

Jetta 2.5 - Good Commuter Car — I'd recommend this car to anyone who's looking for a good commuter or a fun car to drive. Aside from the wheels, the car has not cost me that much in terms of cost of ownership. Some complain of the noise, I'm not. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Decent gas mileage, fun, comfortable Cons: Tires |
2005 Volkswagen Jetta TDIReview

Nearly Perfect. — This is a Mk IV Jetta... mine handles very well. Braking is very fast with no fade at all. Cornering is stable and fast. Traction control works extremely well for turning. Acceleration in 1st gear is like most decent cars. In 2nd, the turbo kicks in and the car goes from "I'm a nice little sedan" to "RAWRRRR!". The diesel engine also has plenty of torque at any standard (Under 95 MPH) speed. Passing at any speed is effortless. Hills don't require much of a change in throttle. Even at altitude (8000 feet), the car is frisky and responsive. Build quality is superb. The vents can rattle, but that's about it. It could look better. The black interior seems a bit too serious for a Dub. I'd have preferred tan. Maintenance can be a bit steep, but the car is well made and needs little. Gas mileage has run an average of 47.5 with a low of 42 and a high of 48.5. City to highway is not much of a difference for some reason. This car is GREAT to drive... I've only seen a few that can match it for the price... and nothing touches it with the fuel economy that it has. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Driving dynamics - fuel economy - build quality Cons: buy it, you moron! |

Sweet — well its a volkswagon so engine lights on so get it under warranty, but the handling and engine power is exceptional! i would like the sound of the speakers a little better but they are pretty good. it is a very fun car and sleek looking car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: comfortable, quick get up Cons: a lot of little creaks and squeaks and speakers are good at first but die out after a while |
2005 Volkswagen Jetta GLReview
Travis1294 writes:
The Only Thing I'd Change About It Is Put A 1.8t Tiptronic In It. That's It. — Everything. Comfortable OEM interior, drives nice, beautiful color, get compliments all the time on color, great gas mileage, cheap to own, for the most part. Learn to do repairs yourself. it's more fun that way. Over all, A++++. <3 Volkswagen. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Gas mileage, looks, daily commute, student car Cons: No turbo. :[ But that's the only reason. |

Super Car And Great To Drive. Perfect For Anyone — Great performance even though I drove the 1.6. It has great comfort. Super smooth on the roads. Car is pricy at first and value drops quick on it. the car has good handling but it is too far off the ground making it at times felling as though you are driving a 4X4 lol Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Great all-round car Cons: Lack of gadjets |
