2017 Volkswagen Jetta consumer reviews

Really got it for price, needed cheap reliable transportation. But it’s got some sport cues. Amazed at the gas mileage, and the 1.8 t motor gives way more than adequate performance for city and highway acceleration. stereo is great with CarPlay. Big trunk and roomy enough back seat. 30000 miles and completely trouble free.

It does all your transport needs with little luxury. It fits best for a family of 3 people. The best speed it can drive is 50 miles per an hour. It tolerates all types of fuel from 89 octane and above without complaining

I’ve owned German cars since I got my drivers license and I love this one the most. It takes off and goes.. sounds brand new. My only issue is there may be a minor oil leak which I’m getting a second opinion on and there are several round spots where paint chipped off on the hood. Nothing major for a used car unless the oil leak becomes.

We love the car so far. It is for my daughter during college, so we hope we get at least 4 dependable years out of the car.

For the price and for what it offers, I couldn't have made a better choice a year-and-a-half ago. There have been no maintenance issues in the car still drives wonderfully. Very happy that this is my car.

I have the 1.4t manual transmission model. It seemed like a good balance of features for the price. The SE model was ~$19K brand new with a decent list of options (sunroof, leather heated seats, blind spot monitors etc). The excellent gas mileage was also a plus. After owning the car for 2 years however I can say it is the most bland, boring, underwhelming car I have ever owned. In the summer time with the A/C on, the car barely makes enough power to get out of its own way until the turbo kicks in and even then its average at best. In the winter when its cold the plastic dash components creak and pop very loudly over every bump. If its pouring down rain when driving on the highway, occasionally some water leaks in by the driver window. The bluetooth audio and apple car play are extremely buggy, you never know if they are going to work. Sometimes the sunroof doesn't close all the way and requires turning the control knob several times for it to work. Then at 36,500 miles the oxygen sensor went bad (500 miles outside of the warranty period) and volkswagen just said its my problem and refused to take care of their customer. Overall this seemed like a good value for the price but it was an extremely underwhelming experience. The issues I have had up to this point do not instill confidence for longevity of the car. This was the first Volkswagen I have purchased and it will certainly be the last.

Gas mileage is awesome , over 44 mpg in my S sedan Jetta. I wish I could have gotten the SE model Bluetooth is basic in the S. But SE was another $3500.00 The cloth seats are a pain to clean it looks like you spilled something on them when trying to clean them. Getting it serviced every 10,000 miles is great or once a year.

Handles great and fun to drive! Very responsive and acceleration is excellent. This is the 2nd Jetta and always happy with the performance and quality.

It feels like a luxury car with the smooth ride and great pick-up. I love driving it. My family of 5 fits in it, including my husband and 2 boys who are all over 6 feet. Love the interior, the back camera, the sound system, and most of all, I love the reliability of my Jetta along with the fuel efficiency. Totally recommend it!

The Wolfsburg Jetta comes at a very affordable price as well as being well equipped!! it comes with app connect which is incredibly useful. Best of all I enjoy how much torque the 1.4L produces, which gives it such good fuel economy!
