  a new kind of vehicle - 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
  By may22 - December 25 - 11:36 pm

  brought my 2009 jetta into the dealer to resolve a problem , and while waiting browsed the show room and met a used dealer jetta hybrid on display , went for a demo drive and bought the demo 2013 jetta hybrid SEL . although the 2009 jetta is a great car to drive with plenty of torque , the hybrid is quieter , smother with a bunch of bells and whistles . and drives like a cloud , compared to the tdi jetta , and gets 49 -50 MPG. average for a month worth of driving averaged 47 MPG. although having to use premium gasoline (that is cheaper than diesel) the MPG is a little better than the TDI . of all the vehicles I have had over the many years the TDI was the most fun to drive. hybrid +

  Pretty much as advertized -- fun to drive hybrid! - 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
  By nareautogo - December 24 - 9:42 pm

  Im 3000 miles on the premium model (no xenon fender or camera) but still quite nice. Gets 45 mpg if you drive 60-65 also nice is that in traffic (where cant accelerate too much) youll still get 40 mpg or so. Drive like a sports car though -- 35ish. But, moreso, Ive been driving hybrids since 2003 and love how this car handles, accelerates and has comfortable drive. VW did really well this car. Quiet ride to boot. I know people will say the "diesel" gives you more bang for your buck...BUT DIESEL IS NOT AS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AS UNLEADED, even "clean" diesel" -- its just cleaner than previous diesel. This one gets ZERO emissions about 25% and can be more. Much better epa.gov ratings.

  First Year with the Hybrid Jetta - 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
  By geoff_ct - July 15 - 1:07 pm

  Ive driven my 2013 Hybrid Jetta for a full year now and while I like the car its worth sharing my experience. First, Ive had some quality issues that required pretty major dealer service. The AC did not work at all and required 3 days in the dealership to re-program. Next the climate sync and off did not work and required that the climate module be replaced. I had to return to the dealer to have the AC turned on again after the climate control module was replaced. Most recently a vacuum pump failed and the check hybrid and check engine lights went on. I was averaging 42.7 mpg but lately its down to 37.5. I think the change is due to my reduced efforts at driving economically.
