35k Miles - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By jettaowner5 - December 20 - 9:14 amI bought this car a month ago with 34k miles. First of all, the exterior design of this car is a beauty. The 2012 Jetta is no where near as nice as this one. In addition, the newer models have backtracked in quality to make Jettas more competitive with Japanese and Korean sedans (another reason why I went with this 2009 Jetta) This 2009 interior is great. It is top notch quality with seat heaters, auxiliary input and soft touch dashboard. I feel like Im riding a luxury car (which I think it is). Bought it for 14k. I love this car!

Diesel is the way to go - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By military - December 18 - 1:20 am5000 miles and this is the best car I have ever owned. I drive 100 miles round trip everyday. 41-43 mpg. Average speed 75mph. I cannot figure out why anyone would buy a hybrid. Clean diesel tech. is the way to go. GM, Ford, Dodge/Chrysler need to catch up. I would have bought American if they could match the quality and performance, but they cannot.

Wolfsburg 2.0T automatic - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By Robert - November 20 - 6:46 amThis is my third Jetta. The first one was a 2003 1.8T w/ 180 HP which then traded for 2005.5 150 HP 2.5 L in which i drove 54,000+miles, a perfectly reliable car with the exception of burned out brake light when it was about 1 year old and a recent burned headlight. So overall, id say that this new Wolfsburg is the best overall. It has huge amount of power. I love the way the engine sounds in the freeway when Im speeding up a bit. I got the red Salsa and its great. Although i do miss a few features that the previous model but its okay. As far as fuel efficiency, its not that great especially during aggressive driving and driving up the hill. But its better than driving an SUV.

2009 Wolfsburg 2.0T 6sp Auto - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By doit - November 15 - 1:23 amI picked up a new 2009 Wolfsburg 2.0T with the 6sp automatic a about 5 days ago and still have nothing to say about the car other than its great. The interior design is well laidd out and comfortable. The red led lighting from the overhead console is a nice touch for driving at night. Outside the car design just looks sharp, love the unique wheels. Performance is great, trading in a 2006 GTI 1.8T 5 sp manual, I was not expecting the power this car has, but it does put a smile on your face. So far the first couple tanks of gas has given me an average of 30.1 mpg that too was a great surprise as well. The mpg should get a little better when things break in a little more.

Jetta is a Great Buy - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By Jetta S - October 15 - 1:36 pmI leased my Jetta because VW offered a too good to pass offer. I got an S model with roof and wheels. It is a great looking car and I get a lot of compliments on it. It is a lot of fun to drive. I have the 5 spd. and the performance is great. I am a former SCCA road racer and this car handles and drives great. The features this car has at this price point is unbelieveable. It is one of the best cars I have ever owned and there is nothing about it I dont like. Porsche obviously has fixed the problems that VW was known for, and this car is a huge value for the money. I have driven many more expensive cars, but few have more features than this VW. A great buy for the money.

Love my TDI - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By doczachary - September 26 - 2:00 pmPurchased my 2009 TDI when I got tired of the gas mileage of my big truck. Put everything on it execpt for the Navigation system, fearing, and sun roof. I currently have 63K on my Jetta and really have had no issues to complain about. I get combo mileage of 35mpg and freeway of about 45 - 48 mpg with the AC on. The heated (fake) leather seats are great in the winter and really help the lower back on a long trip. The AC is good but not great. It could be colder. The AM/FM/CD/Sat stereo is great and works well. More speakers than you can find or count. Kids would probably complain since you probably cant turn it up as loud as they listen to it these days. Great finish and looks good

2.0t Wolfsburg Jetta 09 - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By Mario D - September 21 - 12:26 amGreat Car for the money. Paid 23,000.00 feels like the 08 Audi A4 I test drove. Same engine but costs 10-15 grand less. Excellent build quality and fit and finish. Handles better and more solid then Japanese competition.

Jetta sportwagon SEL manual - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By eurosteve - September 19 - 3:53 pmThis is a great car! Buy it. It gets better gas mileage than my mini cooper S. Its fast, corners wonderfully. Is a great family car for 5. Its a GTI with kids. I still dont know why people buy minivans. Its hard to keep it under 95. Had it for a year without any regrets. Oh by the way, either get a manual transmission, or ride a bicycle instead.

Fantastic Car at a Reasonable Price! - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By Silo - September 4 - 5:16 amI just purchased a 2009 SEL and couldnt be happier. The handling and performance of the Jetta blew away the Acura TSX and TL, Accord EX-L, and the Volvo S40. The 5cyl engine provides enough power and the ride is snug without being hard. Get the SEL, though. The fancy electronics aside, the 17 inch wheels do make a difference. It was also a good deal. VW covers most service and maintenance for three years and I got mine for 20k. All in all a fun car to drive.

I love my Jetta! - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
By vasileesa - August 16 - 6:20 amI have had my Jetta for 2 days now and I just love it. It is super sleek and fun to drive! It has nice pick up to it and I cant wait to try out the manual option. Supposed to be my car but hubby hasnt let me drive it ever since I brought it home! I am hoping to not have any issues with the Leatherette but read only good reviews from others who have experience with it.
