2007 Volkswagen Jetta Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewThe Volkswagen Jetta comes in five flavors for 2007. The base (or Value Edition) Jetta is equipped with a 150-horsepower, 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that provides plenty of power under the pedal off the line and in passing situations, and comes with a generous list of standard features, including air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, and a CD player.
Next up is the Jetta 2.5, with the same five-cylinder engine and such additions as a multifunction trip computer. For a bit more power, drivers can opt for the Jetta 2.0T, with its turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that pumps out 200 horsepower with lower emissions.
The sporty Jetta GLI also comes with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine but adds a sport package with special bucket seats and a tighter suspension. And new for 2007 is the Jetta Wolfsburg Edition, which is equipped with such features as 16-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, leatherette seats, and heated front seats.
Among the standard features and options available in the 2007 Jetta are 12-way programmable front seats, dual-zone climate control, a multifunction steering wheel with controls for the radio and CD player, a new chrome grille, and power side mirrors with blinkers.

I like the lines of the car. The Wolfsburg Edition trim package is exceptional. This is the 3rd VW I have owned. The first 2 were 70's era Beetles. They were very reliable and that influenced me in deciding to purchase this car.Jan 23, 2014

I have owned two Jettas, a 2007 and 2009. Both are excellent vehicles. Good pep to the engine, but not too much so that young drivers can get in trouble. Great brakes with quick stops. The seats are firm, but very comfortable for a long drive. I routinely take this car on 3-4 hour drives with no fatigue or aching back. Gas mileage is good, with about 27 MPG in mixed driving and 32 MPG on the highway. Trunk is good sized, for the vehicles. A great car!Oct 03, 2013

I love this car. Though the Jetta is built in Mexico now (as was this 2007), and the newer model years have gotten away from the high-quality German parts, the 2007 has the solid Volkswagen legacy and engineering without many drastic changes that they've made lately (cheaper parts, less German-inspired design).
Owners new to VW brand may (and probably should) be put off by the cost of maintenance at a local dealer. I was fortunate enough to find a local mechanic who specializes in only VAG (Volkswagen Auto Group) vehicles and charges a lot less. However, even at dealer prices, regular maintenance is critical to longevity of this vehicle. As my mechanic says, only two things will stop this car: an accident and rust. Apr 21, 2013

I didn't like how small it was. I think it was just because I want a bigger car. Other than that it is a nice car. It is inexpensive but it makes you feel like you are driving a way more expensive carJul 10, 2012

Everything about this car is absolutely amazing, the performance is awesome, it drives great and especially for long trips it is so comfortable to be in. The appearance of the car is awesome too, I love its clean look inside and out. However it is quite expensive to own, if something goes wrong the part(s) is usually soooo much money :( but gas isn't so bad because it is pretty good on gas. All in all I love my car!Jul 06, 2012

The cuteness and the space for your family. The fuel economy his car gets. How people all over the world love their jettas and take care of them so they stay nice and clean all year long. This has been a awesome car for us and it will be for you too. May 25, 2012

Good looking car, very roomy and tons of cargo room. Handling and braking is superb for the price, though the Euro suspension would be a welcome upgrade. Gas mileage is decent, about 25mpg highway. Very torquey engine low to midrange, though upper RPM band is lackluster. Maintenance isn't *too* bad, though I don't like having to remove the plastic fairing under the engine to change my oil. TPMS system doesn't always work right either. Heated seats are a definate plus.Jan 28, 2012

This is the first car I bought, my parents had given me a 2000 Acura TL when I was 16 and that thing lasted me forever. Im 21 now, and my Acura died so I needed to find a new car, came across my VW Jetta Wolfsburg edition at a used car dealer and immediately fell in love with it. I purchased a silver automatic one with 35,500 miles on it for about $15,000 which is actually a really great deal. There were very few imperfections inside and out. I love the way it drives it's definitely a fun car to drive and its very spacious for a small sedan. Definitely made a good choice when it came to buying a VW.Oct 05, 2011

Very nice little car with surprisingly good performance. It does look a little
generic but it still looks pretty sharp. The interior feels like it's been lifted
from a more expensive car and I've never had any issues with it! Dec 28, 2010

This car is fun and feels axtremely safe to drive. The interior is perfect, as I was the only one typically in the car. It get's about 30mpg highway and other than oil changes, there has been no needed repairs. Dec 13, 2010

For $26,000 this car is great, its extremely fun to drive. I just wish I had a WRX STI. The performance is pretty good, The build quality is great until 1 thing breaks, after that, it starts to go... The appearance of the car is great, very sporty but professional.Aug 30, 2010

- My 2007 Volkswagen Jetta may be a base model, but it is definitely not a penalty box. It really is a great car and I'm glad I purchased it. I'll admit that Volkswagen wasn't even on my list. I was looking for American cars but on my way to a Chevy dealership I happened to see a Volkswagen dealership and decided to stop in. The dealer put me in a black Jetta with a 5-speed manual and only 31,000 on the odometer. I drove it for 5 minutes and immediately fell in love with the car. Performance is totally respectable for that 2.5L 5-cylinder motor under the hood. The car only makes 150 hp but it definitely feels much more powerful. I can do wild and crazy burnouts with both wheels spinning on command. Its engine noise is very different but sounds great. Gas mileage is also totally respectable. I'm averaging around 20 mpg in the city (my driving style is spirited so that's pretty good) and I get about 33 mpg on the highway at a steady 85 mph. The ride is a little stiff but it's supple enough to not be punishing. That stiff ride makes the car handle beautifully. The steering is practically telepathic and is weighted nicely. The 5-speed manual transmission feels great. The shifter feels great in the hand and feels good as you row through the gears. The clutch is a little bit tall for my liking but the pedal take-up is light and linear. The brakes perform and feel better than the brakes in my grandfather's BMW 328xi sedan. The styling of the exterior is handsome but a bit plain. Since my car is the base model it comes with 15-inch steel wheels with hubcaps which are boring but don't look too bad. I love the turn signal repeaters on the side view mirrors but I could do without the factory rear spoiler. The interior is very attractive with high quality materials. The blue and red backlit controls and gauges look great and the 10 speaker AM/FM stereo with a CD player and auxiliary input jack is loud with crystal-clear sound. The front seats have plenty of adjustment and the steering wheel both tilts and telescopes allowing anyone to get comfortable but some of the adjustments are awkward to reach. The car has plenty of headroom and legroom front and rear although hip room is a little tight since it's such a narrow car. This car must have been designed with performance in mind because the seats are incredibly comfortable and have tons of lateral support making them awesome for drives down my favorite twisty roads. The trunk is massive and the car won't tire you out over long distances making it a great road trip car. With regard to the interior my biggest complaint is the lack of rear cup holders. In order to get rear cup holders you must order the car with the rear center armrest. This is a major oversight in my opinion. I've never even heard of another car with upholders being optional. Cup holders are also really important for me because I'm always driving friends around and my rear passengers need them. So far the cost of ownership has been cheap, although I've only had the car for 2 months and 4,000 miles. The only thing I've had to put money into was gas. It’s just a rewarding car to drive and I would recommend it to anyone.Jul 25, 2010

I love almost everything about this car. It has good acceleration. Good gas mileage. It looks good and the inside is very nice and has all the amenities you would hope for. It is not a sports car though. So, if you want something that accelerates like one I would recommend a GLI.Jul 04, 2010

I love this car, I am a huge fan of
german engineering, though I normally
drive older BMWs I own 3 cars right now
and the jetta is my daily. its got enough
power to make me have bit of fun, could
use a better tune though since the euro
version is almost exactly the same
mechanically but pushes 170hp and 190ft
lbs of torque vs the US 150hp and
17Ft/Lbs of torque.
I wish VW would have stuck with a more
independent body style instead of merging
into what everyone else is doing. but its
to be expected from new carsJan 29, 2010

My car is customized quite a bit, so anything I say might not apply... Nothing has ever broken, It is a fair price for everything that you get. It maintains power though out its inline 5 engine and has never skipped a beatNov 25, 2009

On the upside: Superb Handling, great brakes, steering just beautiful, big grip, car feels small and agile, great lateral support from sports seats
Good performance from Turbo engine - impressive torque for a 2.0L engine...really needs RWD or 4WD to better put power to the ground though. DSG transmission is just perfect
And on the downside : Cheap interior with poor build quality eg: rattles in dash and annying static noise from one speaker (poor connection). Automatic headlights come on at really odd times by themselves and the posh up/down electronic headlight adjustment still makes them point too low and makes night driving a real pain.Nov 12, 2009

knock on wood it has not broke down yet. It also has traction control so when i stomp on it in the rain my tires don't spin quite as much. This car has been to Flordia Pennsylvania Atlanta and a few concerts along the wayJun 21, 2009

Quite possibly the most feminine car i could have gotten next to a new beetle. 5 cylinders of FURY. a whopping 140 hp !!! Automatic TIPTRONIC. funny thing about FWD is putting all your torque down on a turn (which is relatively nothing) your drive wheels start spinning but they happen to also be your steering wheels.

I love everything about my Jetta. It is like my little race car! I love that it is a manual transmission because I treat it like a race car. Every time I get on the open road, I can't help but pass people! Everyone should drive a Volkswagen. They are great.Oct 01, 2008

My wife wanted it. I'd rather have a Nissan Coupe. The seat is a pain to adjust, the sunglass holder is not big enough for sunglasses and the low gas indicator won't say how many miles till empty. The mileage is ok though and right now, that matters a lot.Aug 01, 2008

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.Jul 22, 2008

Handling could be better although I think better tires could make a difference. I was never that crazy about
the front end of the car. Very short squatty looking front end. It does have lots of pep with that turbo and
the interior is very nice and solidly built.Jun 12, 2008

nice car, comfortable, a lot of features( at least in wolksburg), quick for 2.5L 150hp...in my own undertaking got it up to 138mph(automatic transmission in drive with esp on, so might be capable of more but wouldnt want to find out without parts) great braking, sounds goodApr 05, 2008

Performance: 0-100km/h in 7 secs
Fuel economy 8.0L/100 kms
Smooth dual clutch semi-auto gearbox
Handy medium sized car with huuuuuge boot (bigger than Falcon, Commodore)
Try finding a car with this performance, fuel economy, handling, build quality, features,
under $40k that is cheap to insure and register.
Note: 18" wheels and full body kit were an extra cost.Apr 04, 2008

It's got all the fun stuff like heated seats, mirrors and washer nozzles, ESP, traction control, 8 airbags, Tiptronic sunroof and more. I haven't been able to lose control of the car even when I try. Feels solid and safe and looks great. There is no other car out there for the price with the quality and features you get... not even close. I love this car, I hope the reliability is as solid as the way the doors shut. Jan 10, 2008

At less than 18K on clearance the 07 Jetta was a great value that I just couldn't pass up at the time. When you sit in it, it feels like a compact luxury sedan... but the trade-off is when you drive it, it's kinda slow. Oh well, for normal day-to-day driving, I'd rather have the smooth ride and excellent interior than zoom zoom.Jan 07, 2008

2007 VW Jetta MK5 no start, no spark, cranks no turnover
2007 VW Jetta Wolfsburg MK5 won't start. It cranks over until battery is dead, but will not ignite. Verified I have fuel at the fuel rail (pressure) and can hear fuel pump engage when turning key. I get lights on the dash, and three beeps when trying to turn over. Checked for spark by removing coil and testing new plug outside of block- no spark. Checked for loose wires in harness leading to ECM. Checked fuses and tested relays, all pass tests. I have replaced crank sensor, tested and charged battery, checked timing belt and looked for any irregularities in engine compartment. Was driving fine and now won't start after parking it. Can't figure out what to do next.

Wont start after I replaced a part.
I replaced a part on my 2007 Jetta 2.5l manual transmission and hooked the battery back up and the is power, but when I try to start it, nothing happens at all. I push the 0.0 button and the dash lights will come on. I can use the key to roll down the windows and roll them up. But when I try to start it, nothing.
