2012 Volkswagen Jetta User Reviews

Good first car for our teen driver. And it looks pretty good in the driveway too!

knew what i was buying and got what i figured i would get.

The Jetta is a great car...I have owned 3 of them...all diesels ..but have driven many other non diesel Jettas. They are a fantastic car. 2012 Models..should run between $4500-$7000 depending on miles/condition/model . Be aware that if it is Standard...the clutch may go out after 60,000 miles..depending on use...so definitely check the clutch...the AC Unit could be better..so check that out also..it is pricey to fix..another thing...People love to hit you car...door dings and etc...I parked so far away from everyone...all the time...Still managed to get door dings and bumper bumps. Sound of the radio is great with windows up...window down all the way is ok....but with it open an inch to 3 inches...not good....If you are a neat nick...get the floor mats, and mud flaps...car kicks up a great deal of dirt in the back. I averaged 45+ mpg in my 2002 (80000 miles, clutch issues at 60K), 43 mpgs in my 2006(130000 miles, AC issues at 100K), and 42 mpgs in my 2015 (85,000 miles, AC issues (small ones) after 6 months...everytime I had it checked...it was fine... Overall.. very comfortable for front seat, and rear seat small people...I now have a PASSAT...very nice also.

Decent Day To Day Car — nice economy car and decent gas mileage. No extra stuff except leather and automatic transmission. handles ok. gets the job done, affordable payments, and very low maintenance expense. looking to keep the car for a few years, and other jetta owners have said that they last

I'm Trading To A Diesel Beetle Ragtop So I'm Sad To See It Go! — So your car takes premium and gets 35 mpg? Diesel costs the same or less than premium and this car gets twice the mileage, meaning you use 50-60% of the fuel costs. I'm a long distance commuter, and I cut my transportation cost in half. I love this car. I drove it from Delaware to NY thru the NJ turnpike in a blizzard, and I was the only car on the road. There was nobody to take my tolls on the north end of the turnpike, it was closed with a foot of compact snow on it, and this car kept on going past the truckers and the SUVs that were flipped over and on their sides. Plus, it looks AWESOME. It's my commuter car and I drive on flat highway 70 from Frederick MD to Baltimore MD every day. I babied it. Some days, I'd go 55 mph and get nearly 60mpg. That's not a typo. I'd get better than 55 miles per gallon. Most of the time, it gets 48 on the highway every day. It's pretty good around town too.
