Overview & Reviews

Two new trim levels join the Jetta lineup for 2006: the upscale 2.0T and the sporty GLI. Both feature a 200-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and both can be equipped with VW's trick DSG direct shift gearbox. All Jettas besides the Value Edition now feature standard alloy wheels, and torso-protecting rear-seat side airbags are newly optional.

  2006 Jetta TDI 5 speed Manual - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Bob Jetta - June 26 - 2:30 pm

  The is car is great for commuting. It gets 40 to 50 mpg depending on how you drive it. It has excellent air conditioning. I am 6 2" and the driver seat adjusts very low and goes very far back so I can easily look out of the windshield without ducking. If you are tall, you now what I mean. It has an excellent turning radius, great torque on hills, and fast acceleration. I am very happy with the stereo system, package #2 with heated seats and leather etc... The stereo is not quite as nice as the Bose in my wifes Nissan Maxima but it is good quality and plays MP3s with a 6 disc CD changer. I have no complaints since I got what I wanted, a comfortable 4 door sedan with a stick that has good set of options and will get 50 mpg. I drove 200 miles home from dealer getting 47.7 mpg.

  06 Jetti TDI Pkg.1 - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Bernard - June 25 - 6:13 am

  So far so good with my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. I had a few minor issues after 5,000 miles The vehicle was poorly aligned from factory and the speedometer reads 4.5 mph faster than my GPS. this car has nice linear power and a decent road feel, though it has slighty higher interior noise from road than I would have expected. I travel long distances, mostly on the highway at 80 mph and have been getting 40+ mpg. The interior fit and finish are superb. It has a very Teutonic in look and feel (have owned Audi, BMW, Porche). The body panel fit and finish is first class. I was surprised at how little the dealer was willing to negotiate. I only received a $200 discount (as a matter of principal)! Still, I had a very positive dealer experience.

  This Car is the Best (50+ mpg) - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Thomas Horton - June 19 - 9:20 pm

  My 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI is so much fun to drive. It handles like a sports car. The power is great from 60-80 mph, there is no sound just pure power. I am averaging 49.9 miles per gallon combined city/highway with 7,500 miles so far!

  Best car Ive ever had - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Donna Landrum - May 12 - 2:16 am

  I consider this to be the best overall car Ive ever owned. In town I am getting 42 MPG and on the highway I am coaxing 55 MPG. The performance on the road is more than adequate for my driving style. The interior suits my needs very well. For the money, this is a fabulous automobile.

  Laughing at the SUVs - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By swconline - May 5 - 7:00 am

  I have owned this new body Jetta since October. I traded in my sweet 02 Passat for it. Has more power than the 1.8T Passat and it gets incredible gas mileage! I test drove the E-Class diesel from Mercedes and didnt think it was twice the car (even though it was more than twice the price). The only thing that would meke trade-up is if they come out with the European version Passat TDI.

  My Jetta TDI experience - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Starsister - April 3 - 6:10 pm

  I have owned two VW beetle TDIs and my 2006 new Jetta has simply been the best car Ive ever owned. And Ive owned them all from BMWs, to Toyotas, you name it. The Jetta diesel has turned out to be wonderful. A mid- sized luxury car that doesnt look like a tunerville trolly (prius) and yet for me averages 43 mpg. Last fill up I got 49 mpg. Highly Recommend everyone get one of these . . comfort, reliability and excellent miles per gallon. Quiet and handles just like a gas car, no smells, no waiting for glow lights, VWs finest engineering. I still have 40% of my brakes left on original set at 106,000 miles and 4 years later.

  A Wolf in a Runt Sheeps Clothing - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Martin - April 1 - 6:56 am

  I was in the market for a Honda Accord or Nissan Altima, a $199/Month Lease...same as most people that are as frugal as me. So I go test drive a VW. Holy Moly! This is a Value Edition? What does the regular one do? The 6 Speed Triptonic automatic transmission is very responsive. I know cars and VW is way ahead of its time offering a package like this as standard. The car is still a deal well into the $20,000 range. I got mine at a huge discount because I liked the Beige. The 6th gear lets you go 50 - 60 mpg at under 2,000 RPM which translates to huge gas efficiency. The service that backs this car is up to par with a BMW or Mercedes complete with loaner car. Save money and enjoy driving again. This car has it all.

  Best Car for the Money - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
  By JH - March 31 - 10:06 am

  Ive never thought of a car more than a vehicle to get from point A to B, until now. Its been over a year and everyday I got in this car and loved it. Its a thrill to have all of features this car does for the money I spent. My Dad has a Benz and we have practically all the same features. We joke that its a cheaper version of the Mercedes.
