  Incredible overall package - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By RBJetta - April 1 - 10:20 pm

  I recently purchased a TDI Sportwagen with the panorama sunroof and 6-speed manual. I have driven the car about 500 miles. I have averaged 39 MPG and have gotten up to 46 on longer highway trips. The size is perfect, roomy back seat and plenty of cargo space. The huge sunroof really brightens up the black interior. The car is plenty peppy and a lot of fun to drive. Overall I am very satisfied so far.

  VW Jetta 2.0T 2009 - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Anthony (NJ) - March 22 - 7:53 am

  I was in the market for either a BMW 3 series or Audi A4. The prices were too much. I found the Jetta 2009 Wolfsburg AM and took it for a test drive and was VERY impressed. Very close to the Audi. Great car bumper to bumper and the dealership (Palisades) was great unlike the BMW and Audi dealerships I went to. This car is very responsive with great handling. It is the Audi A4 without all the glamor and that is ok with me because I saved the extra $13-$15K in my pocket. You will not find a similar sedan in American or Japanese for the price.

  Love This Car - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Stoked! - March 5 - 2:00 am

  This car is beautiful, understated, stylish and comfortable. The interior style and quality are remarkable, from the leather wrapped steering wheel to the red and blue lighted instrumentation. The perception of elegance and quality is high throughout. Its a baby German sports sedan with everything I want, and I paid $17,000 for it! That was a steal. Amazing value. In summary, a refined piece of automotive art. Finally, note the spread between the reviewers ratings # and the consumers ratings # above. People who buy this car love it.

  You can have it all! - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Randy - February 24 - 10:43 pm

  I traded a 2003 Jetta TDI for this and it is everything the 2003--that I liked--was times 4. Mine has only the gorilla mats option and I cant think of anything else I would have wanted. The quality is much better than the 2003 (fit, finish, etc). The electronics are superb. Road sound is almost non-existent. The engine is just fantastic. Great power and quiet. I get 36 MPG on the low side and 46+ on the highway. I average around 39-40 and NOTHING is flat where I live, all up and down hills. In a flat region of the country, I have no doubt 50+ MPG would be easy.

  Too much fun for such great mpg - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By coolbreeze - February 21 - 3:00 am

  This is a true driving machine. The diesel engine is smooth, clean, quiet, and fast. The turbo kicks in and you take off. Fit and finish is wonderful. The panoramic roof is worth every dime. Makes the interior feel so roomy, and even living in nc I do not feel any effect from solar heat. Suspension is right on. I have seen mpg of 52 for my round trip to work and back (45 miles rt). I cant wait to drive it tomorrow.

  Sportwagen SE - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Tom - January 22 - 6:33 pm

  I have driven this car for about 6,000 miles since purchase. Recorded each fill-up since purchase & getting an honest 25 mpg city & 31 mpg highway with the automatic transmission. My Sportwagen is very versatile with comfortable seating & ride. Handling is excellent with little or no sway in sharp turns or nose diving upon hard braking. White paint subject to temporary stains with some brands of gasoline. Stains do fade away

  Love It! - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By VW Jetta TDI Loyal E - December 27 - 12:13 pm

  This is our 5th TDI. We started out with a 1983 Jetta Turbo Diesel - sold it with 210,000 miles and its still on the road. We had it for 15 yrs. Next was a 1986 Turbo Diesel; sold with 270,000 miles;had it for 15 yrs and its still on the road. Then we had a 1998 TDI, sold with 170,000 miles - still around. We now have a 2006 and a 2009 TDI and love them both. All cars were purchased brand new.

  35k Miles - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By jettaowner5 - December 20 - 9:14 am

  I 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 am

  5000 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 am

  This 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.
