  A fantastic car! - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By fgbrault - December 11 - 9:26 pm

  I wanted a car that performed well and gets excellent economy and I got it! Economy - 39.76 MPG over 1965.9 miles (based on miles/gallons). I couldnt be more pleased with its performance (what wonderful torque), steering, handling and ride. Fit and finish are excellent and I love its understated, elegant interior. I have DSG and Im very pleased with it. I do wish though that there was more manual control at low speeds in Manual Mode. Overall, I think this is the best car I have owned. I traded in a 2007 BMW 328 XI.

  Great car but whats up with the trani? - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By JKG - December 8 - 7:30 am

  The car and dealership are excellent overall. My only concern is as follows: The trani started leaking fluid from the bell housing at 730 miles and when I brought it to the dealer, it was diagnosed as a seal problem with internal damage. A new transmission was installed which VW approved and shipped to the dealer quickly. The dealer paid for a rental car while the Jetta was being repaired. The car was returned in excellent condition after four days and now runs perfectly with no leaks. The car has so many positive qualities and the dealer handled the situation professionally. I would definitely buy another car from the dealer even though this was an unusual and disturbing event.

  Another name for car is Jetta - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Proud Jetta Owner - December 1 - 2:06 pm

  I am so Impressed with my Jetta. I am so happy that I did not go for a Honda or a Toyota this time. I had a CR-V and Civic before but after owning Jetta I just realized my mistake of choosing Honda 2 times. Jetta is very comfortable, Safe and amazing performance. It has everything that I was looking in a car. Volkswagen Customer service is the best. My last statement - Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and Girl before you buy car (new) you must look at Jetta. You get more than what you pay for.

  good value - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Fmailys - November 23 - 10:00 am

  I have a 2009 Jetta SE (not Wolfsburg but the option isnt showing up). No clue what "Nicole" is talking about - to play music through your iPod you press the "CD" button again to switch between the CD changer and ipod. You DO NOT have to remove CDs. 2.5 engine is reliable, but not very fun or fuel efficient. Rides very smoothly. Has a nice amount of features. Feels very safe and solid. Interior quality is very good, on par with some higher-end marques. HVAC system is a weak. AC takes awhile to cool the car and is noisy at the higher settings. Trunk is huge and inside space is more than adequate for 4 adults. Leatherette seating is high quality and the seats are comfortable.

  21,000 Miles So Far - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Gordy - October 7 - 7:13 am

  This replaced my 2006 TDI in August. Think I was the third one sold by the dealer. Seat is the same as 2006, and I found out that new TDI(s) have electric passenger seat (I should have waited for it). Best mileage running Minnespolis to Louisville was 41 mpg (WINTER DRIVING). New EPA ratings are realistic for a change. Around Town gets around 33 mpg (WINTER DRIVING). I expect a minor improvement with straight #2 fuel. I love the mileage and feel of the car.

  TDI Sportwagen - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By TDI In NJ - October 2 - 7:26 pm

  I just purchased a 2009 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. I have been looking at the Jetta for a long time and was able to finally able to locate a TDI wagon and my local dealership (someone ordered it and financing fell through!!). I love the TDI. It is quiet, powerful and smooth. It feels more solid and refined than the SE model. The seats are very comfortable. The sound system quality is very good. The fit and finish is excellent. The wagon model is very attractive.

  Satasified - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Happy - July 31 - 4:16 pm

  Since purchased it has meet all my needs. Exceptional mileage, worst 40 mpg best 53 mpg. Just what I was looking for, fells strong drving over bad roads. Comfortable even for 6 footers. Only issue getting to it before my wife. Although it only has 4000 miles if it maintains 80% of what it is now, I will buy a new one again.

  Great car - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Leroy Zeke - July 2 - 1:30 am

  I am really happy with the fuel economy and features of this car. It is fun to drive but still gets very respectable mpg. I still have power when I need it. We also have a Honda Civic Hybrid, and the VW is getting better mileage, and is much more fun to drive.

  Powerful, efficient and FUN to drive! - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Zuno78 - June 29 - 7:50 am

  As an owner of an ‘84 300D Turbo Diesel Benz for over 10 years, I knew it would be worth waiting for the ’09 Jetta TDI. Two weeks after purchasing my Loyal Edition, I remain extremely satisfied. This car has amazing torque output! I can feel the quiet diesel engine purring under the hood as it speeds effortlessly down the road. The firm ride adds to the feel that Im driving a tamed beast! Months of research convinced me that no other car gives you the value the TDI offers. At an average of 44.7 mpg on the highway this past weekend, I am convinced this is an unbeatable deal that will last for years to come.

  Lovein my new SportWagon - 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Mike - June 18 - 11:23 pm

  I was really wanting something affordable, but the Rabbits were too small and the Jettas were a bit boring. The SportWagon was perfect because it was affordable ($20 k)and very cool and different looking. Its one of the few cars you can drive that is truly unique. The quality of the materials is amazing for such an affordable car. Its definitely not as boss as my wifes Passat (4 cylinder turbo), but for the price is fantastic. I recommend the manual transmission to avoid the slight delay on take off found in other V-dubs. This should be anyones list who wants a beautiful, roomy, fuel efficient, fun to drive car. Nothing compares to it for the price.
