4th ? on the road

I've owned a Suzuki which was horrible, my Ford almost killed me and had the most mechanical problems, my Audi was awesome but the maintenance was high, but my VW makes me want to buy another VW. Reliable and good on gas. I plan on keeping it even if I get another car.

Love my Sportwagen

It’s no Subaru but definitely the most luxurious vehicle I’ve had. The bank had to check twice when I got this steal of a deal!

Great car

Not much to say. Just had to replace the head gasket and sensor. Other than that. Seats in front are not the most comfortable. Great car otherwise. Great car for the value. Nothing worth complaining about.

Love My Jetta!

Love this car! It has unbelievable pickuo! Fun to drive. We bought it used as a run around town car and it has been a blessing. He gets great gas mileage too! Maintenance has been minimal so far. It was a great deal and investment.

Car saves me alot of mental dipression

I’ve had this car since 2011, its a 2012 and all I’ve had done is two sets of tires ,three batteries and a few oil changes ( synthetic) Also no antifreeze as it is “lifetime antifreeze”? Makes me nervous but happy. Inside is a mess but still looks like new outside , for a ten year old car with 20,000 miles / might be my last car?

It's a TDI

I'm just over 36k on my 2012 Jetta TDI. I have to say that other than some sketchy OEM tires I'm really happy with the purchase and overall usability of the vehicle. Because it's a manual TDI I get an exhilarating driving experience and pull over 42MPG while I"m doing it. It took me some time to adjust to searching out diesel fuel but that's now in the past. I know some dyed-in-the-wool VW owners have bitched about cheap interior pieces in the MK6 but I haven't really had an issue there - perhaps they've just grown spoiled over the years? There are a couple of things I'd change if I could. The first is a better set of tires off the showroom floor. These break traction easily from a standstill and are poor in wet weather - some of this due to the torque produced by the engine. I find the interior bluetooth mic to be inferior and everyone I call notices I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel. There's not much in the way of mods for such a thing, based on my research. Otherwise this car provides an excellent driving experience for a sedan, and can be called a poor man's BWI, though I actually think overall it's a better value.

2012 VW Jetta SE

I was looking for something with style, comfort, and smooth ride after my Mustang convertible and this was the perfect choice. They new Jettas have a back up camera, remote starter, and links your smartphone apps to the car's dashboard monitor which my 2012 lacks so that's why I'm giving 4 stars, as I would give my right arm to have those options.

Decent car

Over all the 2012 Jetta hasn’t been bad. We bought it brand new and it’s had a few issues but nothing that wasn’t really handled under warranty. Only thing that wasn’t handled under warranty was the paint started to peel along the bottom rocker panel. We were told by the dealership that the paint there isn’t considered paint even though it’s the exact same color as the rest of the car, so there for it isn’t covered under the paint defect warranty. But over all it’s been a pretty reliable car. We have put 101,000 miles on It since buying it in 2013.
