2012 Volkswagen Jetta Review

By KBB.com Editorial Staff
You'll Like This Car If...

If you need more cargo versatility than a sedan can offer, but you don't want to give up sedan-like ride and handling, the 2012 VW Jetta SportWagen makes a great compromise. Fuel efficient with either

You May Not Like This Car If...

A wagon is still a wagon, and some may prefer the cool look of the Golf TDI hatchback to the Jetta SportWagen's "soccer mom" image. Those who need better ground clearance and/or all-wheel dr

How it Drives

Although the 2012 VW Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old 2010 VW Jetta sedan platform, it is in no way antiquated or less fun to drive. As one would expect from a German-engineered car, the Jetta SportWagen is a great driver's car. The firm suspension keeps body roll to a minimum without impinging on a smooth ride, even over rough or broken pavement. The 2.5-liter engine doesn't deliver thrilling acceleration, but it gets the job done and returns respectable fuel economy. If you can afford the extra cash, go for the 2.0-liter TDI clean dies

"I have only had this car for about 2 weeks, and really love it! I needed the mileage because I drive close to 50 miles per day for my job. I am starting to see the great mileage from this car, with my old car I was filling up every week, but with the Jetta this is the 2nd week without going to the gas station for fuel, and I just hit a half of tank. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!"

the car is stock minus tinted windows and a set of sport springs...(wheels are stock)

"I love my car. For just being a small 4 banger the car really moves. It handles better then alot of cars twice its cost and never disappoints when you get a heavy foot. I've read some of the other reviews and alot of people complain about poor gas mileage. I frequently get 35+ mpg on the hwy when I drive like a normal sane person, however this car is so torquey that you'll want to get on it frequently and this is where your gas mileage goes. The interior is very nice, leather seats, touch screen nav, bluetooth and the radio sounds wonderful. I was fortunate enough to be able to snag a Tornado Red GLI with a set of the Volkswagen Motorsport wheels on it. Apparently that was a very uncommon additional feature. My bright red car with the black wheels gets looks pretty much anywhere we go."
