What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta for its solid build quality, fun driving experience, and excellent fuel economy. Many love its sporty feel and spacious interior, making it a good choice for everyday use. However, some express disappointment regarding the condition of certain used models, with complaints about maintenance issues and poor cleaning before sale."
GLI with a TDI is a great combination that VW should have made a long time ago. You get the quality and fun vehicle for much less price than some other petrol cars on the market. As always all the essentials are there that you may expect from VW
February 28, 2011Fantastic fuel mileage, good build quality and feel, looks great, low cost of owership (so far), great performance for a diesel, low cost to purchase, maintenance is paid for, great warranty, overall a great car, would buy another one, Yay!
March 10, 2010No issues with the mechanics of the car however the radio issues and lack of VW support leaves something to be desired. Great car for a small family or to cart around yourself and a few friends awesome and comfortable on long trips for two

July 9, 2014There 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.
May 31, 2012This car has lots of cargo room and great gas mileage,I get almost 600 miles to a tank. super reliability, I have 68,000 miles on car and only had to change oil. This car also has an awesome stereo system.
April 22, 2012I 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.
November 8, 2011Vehicle was in very poor condition, lots of external damage, two different colored headlights, surfaces inside of the vehicle were sticky like sewed it was spilled all over everything and nobody bothered to clean it up, clearcoat on paint job was cracking. Wouldn’t pay $1500 for this vehicle, let alone $5000.
May 2, 2021Overall 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.
January 26, 2013I 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!
May 16, 2012This car has great pick up, is fun to drive, and also has great trunk space while not feeling like a "mom car", It's Great!
