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."

  2007 GLI - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Lisa Hughet - December 16 - 12:07 am

  My previous car was a 2006 VW Jetta Value Edition so as I love VWs I knew what I was looking for. The 2007 GLI version is just as solid a car on the road but the turbo makes it a little more fun. My only complaint so far is fairly minor- there is a rattle in the trunk that I havent been able to identify yet. All in all I love my GLI and have gotten lots of compliments!

  Love it - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Greg - August 29 - 3:16 pm

  The only couple issues i have are the aux jack in the glove box and the space between the center console and stick shift seems to be to far away. Then again the console lid is adjustable. But ive had no problems and the car is perfect. This is my second jetta and Ill never own anything else!

  Wishing for more - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By mat - August 8 - 1:10 am

  This is my 5th Jetta and there are a few major issues. The car failed to start 3 times and the alarm went off in the middle of the night for no reason. It was an electrical short that took 3 trips to the dealer to fix. The last time it was there for 5 weeks!!! The center console "handles" crowd the drivers right leg and they serve no purpose! The gas mileage is not the best/or worst but for mileage this low I want a car that is faster. The acceleration is adequate however and I enjoy the fit and finish of the interior and exterior. The trunk and back seats are roomy. Besides the mechanical issues I like the handling. I will not however be purchasing at the end of my lease.

  No Problems at all, fun to drive! - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By PJW - July 5 - 7:56 pm

  Having a ball with this car. The redesign is/was very nice and while is may look somewhat bland, the lines are nice and compared to previous Jettas, a very nice upgrade. Peppy, fun and much bigger too. Like the ride a lot.

  Safe Car - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By KCVW - October 19 - 2:00 am

  This car is a very good deal. It comes with ESP and all of the safety equipment, top crash and dynamic safety ratings for $17,500. I like the car overall. Its front seat comfort is only so-so for me, but the ride is very good. Its performance is fine, but its gas mileage is just OK. Nothing feels better at highway speeds (any speed you choose) than a VW. That makes them great cruisers. For the money its quite a deal.

  Brake Issues - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By VIP - August 13 - 10:40 pm

  Had to replace pads and rotor only at 15K miles. Dealer said that this is normal. I just think 15K is still not that much miles to worry about your brakes. My other cars usually get up to about 30K to 35K miles. The repair is also very costly. $419. This is my first time to own a VW and probably my last too. The car drives great though but maintaining it would be quite expensive.

  My First Jetta or VW for that Matter - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By TripVWowner - March 13 - 12:13 pm

  I really like this car, I think the exterior styling which is considered bland by some is sort of sporty and elegant and it shares the same large chrome grille feature as VWs luxury counterpart, Audi. The car handles very well and I have the base 2.5L 5-cylinder engine which may not be race car fast but does the job. I notice that the car is very heavy for its class and I like this as it helps keep the car feeling more stable at highway speeds.

  Good so far - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Cholie - December 29 - 10:33 am

  This an overall great car. My husband and I really like the boxy look from the back and the ground effects are subtle but make the car look great it gives it a fuller look. The seats are a little hard, I find my self adjusting the seat a lot to try to find some comfort and I just cant find it. I also wish they all came with standard steering wheel radio controls. The ride around town is great, but on the highway it gets kinda shakey.

  Wolfsburg Edition - Best Value - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By SleepyDoc - August 15 - 11:40 am

  The Jetta Wolfsburg is similar to the 2.5 trim, but adds a sunroof, convincing faux leather seats, rear center armrest, alloy wheels, and floor mats in addition to the cold weather package. It is available in black, white, silver, and gray. Its understated exterior styling belies the quality of the interior. Its even more impressive at night. Soft touch materials are used extensively, and even if you find hard plastic, it has a solid, quality feel. The exception being the paper-like shift boot. The ride is firm yet very compliant, excellent road manners. Its acceleration is acceptable from stop, but highway passing is effortless to a flaw - watching for flashing lights is compromised by rear visibility.

  Love My Jetta - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Kristen - April 13 - 7:20 pm

  This is my second Jetta and I have to say that VWs to me are better than my Toyota Tacoma and Corolla put together. Thats why I went back to driving a Jetta. I also feel much safer, than in my Toyotas.
