2012 Volkswagen Jetta

goodlooking car made on the cheap

By BrianinKC (KS) on Sunday, May 19, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 40,000

Pros: "performance, fun to drive, good gas mileage"

Cons: "cheap interior, premium gas"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6

"although i love driving my 2012 GLI, i really wish it were made with better quality. so far (knock on wood), mechanically, the car is fine. it gets good gas mileage especially considering the performance. the ride is smooth and composed. the build-quality and interior are another story. the door panels look like they're cheap mock-ups and not the finished product. everything's black hard plastic. probably would not buy again unless there are substantial improvements."

Had this car two weeks today

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 700

Pros: "Gas mileage, interior, sleek exterior"

Cons: "Slow response on throttle"

"I bought my jetta to replace my 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4dr. I needed something safe and better on gas. I am pleased with the gas mileage. I used to get 400 miles on my 22 gallon jeep. Now I get around 415miles on my 14 gallon VW! So much better. I am averaging around 30 MPG city, on the interstate I was pushing 45 MPG. I got the SE edition (Black w/ tan leather) with bluetooth, Sirius Radio, heated seats and ipod hook up in the glove box. I am pleased with my purchase and got the special VW financing 1.6% interest. I would recommend this to anyone in the market. The only complaint I have is it has a little slow response time on the gas. Im not a speed demon so it doesn't bother me. But it looks so nice on the inside and even better on the outside. It reminds me of the Lexus models. The blinkers on the side mirrors are a nice luxury feature. Also, I bought the extended warranty 6yr/60,000 miles."

"Great driving experience. A bit spartan interior, touchscreen on radio is not intuitive. Ability to hook up iPad in glovebox is ideal. Mileage is fantastic, love this car."

Awesome car and great fuel milage

By Hocker (PA) on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,800

Pros: "Milage, Fender Audio, Navigation, Power, Handling"

Cons: "Turbo Lag, and diesel smell after filling up."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I just purchased my new 2013 VW Jetta TDI 3-4 weeks ago and now have 1800 miles. So far the car has been amazing. The engine delivers the necessary power, although there is some slight turbo lag. The Fender Audio system and Navigation are awesome, I've always installed subs in the past but will be sticking with this sound system. The car also handles amazing, it hugs corners and the seats keep you in place. I have no complaints about this car except I hate trying to keep my baby clean:/"
