Overview & Reviews
A few changes occur on the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta. Good news for consumers: VW has lowered the car's price by an average of $1,400 without making any significant cuts in feature content. The company says the change is to foster increased competitiveness against Asian-brand sedans. On the downside, the popular diesel-fueled Jetta TDI has been discontinued due to its inability to pass new 2007 government emissions tests. Look for it to return next year. Other updates for the '07 Jetta include the return of the Wolfsburg Edition sedan (which has the 2.5-liter engine and standard leatherette upholstery), a new Apple iPod adapter, simplified cruise control actuation, a standard tire-pressure monitor and, as options, a 115-volt power outlet and Homelink transmitter. Finally, VW has renamed the base-level Value Edition trim level just "Jetta."

My First Jetta - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By Bruce - June 4 - 4:46 pmI was somewhat hesitant to purchase a VW because of everything I had read regarding the quality of the car, but I was pretty much sold after a test drive. The 2.0T has much better performance, exterior styling, in addition to what I believe is higher quality interior materials than the other cars I was considering (e.g. Accord, Camry, Altima). The only weakness I can see so far is the fuel mileage and the cars requirement for premium gas. The car has been averaging about 22-23 mpg in mostly city driving. While this is in line with the EPA ratings I had expected better. I havent done any long distance highway driving with the car yet so I cant comment on the highway performance.

Easily the best car in its class - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By homerkc - May 30 - 11:09 pmJust turned 75K miles; a GREAT car for the past 5 yrs. Its economical (23-31mpg), sufficiently fast, rides better on the highway than cars costing much more, big trunk, and top safety ratings. Its a pleasure to drive every day, and its just a base model car with the 150 HP engine. I had the rear brake problem, but my dealer put new rotors on under warranty and everything seems to be OK. Ive put little else into the car - I do much of the routine maintenance myself, and without the dealer labor, the upkeep is reasonable. I enjoy the little luxuries on the base car, like soft touch plastics, lighted switches, climate control, 1 touch windows, etc. A great deal and reliable, too.

We are a Jetta Family - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By Jetta Family - March 31 - 3:46 pmWe have owned five Jettas. Our new Wolfsburg may be the best one yet. If you dont like the European ride and handling, do not buy one. The Wolfsburg is absolutely the best buy for the money. I dont know who evaluates vehicles for J.D. Power but they really have this "thing" for Japanese cars. Testing a car is almost totally subjective, the Power folks should have an open mind, not an empty one.

My love/hate relationship with this car - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By katelin22 - February 8 - 6:30 pmAbout six months after I bought my car (my first car ever), the splash shield separated from the bumper and crumbled into a million pieces on the freeway. I took it to the dealer, and they said that my insurance should pay for it and that this happens all of the time because the European make of the car causes it to catch on US parking curbs. I went to my insurance agent and they said they werent going to pay for it, because it wasnt due to an accident. I had to pay $1800 in repairs out of my own pocket. I have since had problems with my drivers side door, and my brakes almost didnt stop my car on a hill. Expect to apply a large amount of pressure on your brakes to stop at high speeds!

Great Car! - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By Lyndy - February 3 - 2:23 pmI bought this car in January and already have 13000 miles on it. The dealership has given me great deals on maintenance and I havent had any problems. I love how it drives and it is easy to handle. This is the first new car Ive ever bought and its great. So far its been a reliable, low maintenance car!

One Year Later... - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By Aaron Lozano - January 22 - 8:20 pmI drive a lot. On average, I spend about 50 minutes in my car daily. Im currently at 25,000 miles on my 06 Jetta. Its been a year since I purchased my spice red Volkswagen Jetta and Im still very pleased with my decision. Although it was not my first choice, I find it to be a beautiful car that is strong and enjoyable. On a separate note, the dealership is not as helpful. It is the only dealership that offers Jettas in my area, so I have no choice. The service department has been very rude to me on one issue. Still, overall I love my car. ;)

Great, Great Car - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By SarahR - December 26 - 10:53 amI recommend VW as a brand to anybody. They are great cars that hold up forever. They are smooth riding, safe, and they look nice without being snotty. I really love this car.

2007 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
By dj - December 12 - 1:36 amOverall, I like the car but, they need to go back to the drawing board with the drivers seat. It is not comfortable if you have a short torso and I have to use a lumbar cushion if I drive very far. The seatbelt receiver is very low if you have to elevate the seat (it elevates up and forward) and it is so rigid (not like the flexible, higher version used for the passenger seat) that it causes the seatbelt "handle" to jab deeply into your hip and cause severe bruising. I am an average sized person and have never had this type of problem with any car that I have driven in 30 years. Be sure that you test drive the car with the seat adjusted to your fit and drive it around awhile.
