Overview & Reviews

For the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta, there is a refreshed instrument panel and cabin trim, a new climate control system and a new radio. Most trims also see a new leather-wrapped, multifunction steering wheel and standard Bluetooth connectivity. An iPod connection becomes a separate option (you had to get the navigation system before) while the SportWagen loses its SEL trim level and the accompanying turbocharged engine. The sport-tuned GLI has been discontinued. Finally, there's a new Limited Edition trim and the TDI Cup "Street" Edition debuts with an extra helping of tuner flavor.

• Diverse selection of strong engines, stellar fuel economy in TDI trim, upscale look and feel, comfortable seats, impressive cargo capacity in both body styles, pleasant ride.

• Below-average fuel economy with 2.5-liter engine, lackluster brake performance, small backseat compared to midsize competitors.

  An Excellent Wagon - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Gavin 01 - December 8 - 1:36 pm

  I was surprised by how good the DSG transmission is! I normally prefer a manual gearbox on small cars - but the DSG is superb. The interior is very clean and well designed, I like the access panel in the rear seat for carrying long objects. The extra torque from the diesel is also a lot of fun. Im trying to see just how economical I can be on my commute (80% freeway) my best so far is 42 mpg.

  LOVE my new Jetta SportWagen TDI! - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By JettaMom - November 29 - 6:50 pm

  Never had a VW before, but wanted to replace our nice 05 MT Subaru Legacy wagon with an AT car that got better mpg but was as nicely appointed and fun to drive. After I test drove the 2010 Prius, my husband suggested we just stop by the nearby VW dealer to check out their TDI models. I knew almost nothing about clean diesel technology and what good mpg these cars get. When I first hopped into the Jetta SportWagen TDI, I was IMMEDIATELY sold!! Car is beautifully designed and appointed, solid, and has a fun and sporty feel. MPG is fabulous, and I understand it just improves over time, so I expect to average over 40 mpg in mixed driving. Im happy when I drive it, and thats the bottom line!

  Great car, excellent acceleration, a bit jerky with slow speed braking, but overall a great car. Fit and finish are excellent. Very comfortable.

  U can take it to the bank! - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By ussoldier73 - November 25 - 6:36 am

  What a car! My girlfriends BMW and my VW are almost the same. Honestly I couldnt beleive it myself. I have to say my girlfriends car is three years older than mine. I couldnt be more happy with the Jetta. It has the power of a sports car, the handling of a luxuray car and the price speaks for itself. I read the reveiws and a couple of the neg. feedback contradict themselfves. I dont know of many cars that hold their value like the jetta. One person comiplained of repair cost mind you VW agreed to share after their warranty expired. I have not owned a better car for the price. My next car will be a new VW Jetta. I drove from NYC to Florida for 90 dollars. Five Star car no doubt. A steal!

  Awesome Car for the Money - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By TDICali - November 8 - 11:26 pm

  I bought this car 3 weeks ago and so far Ive been very impressed by the performance and fuel economy of the TDI. I stopped buying VW cars because of the reliability issues in recent years, but hopefully thats all in the past. The car came fully equipped and the only extract I got was the bigger wheels, which make a big difference in handling.

  Never owned german car - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Walter Mitty - August 6 - 7:50 am

  I bought my first German car and did not know what to expect. I am very surprised. The handling is outstanding, the color which is new is beautiful. The car is solid and handles like a dream. It has the no maintenance for 3 years which will save me money. If you cant afford a BMW this is a good choice.

  Love My TDI! - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By TurboTDI - May 26 - 10:00 am

  Got my Jetta TDI a couple of weeks ago. I cant stop smiling when driving it and I cant stop looking up more info on what others say about their love for the TDI. Wanted a Sportswagen but the great deal I got on the sedan was unbeatable - 0% financing for 66 months fro VW Credit. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Emich VW in Denver. My wife and two sons love going on drives with me. Hoping winter driving in it goes well, but have heard good reports (used to driving 4wheeldrives). Thank you VW for all of the fun, safety, performance, MPGs! My 3rd VW in 26 years. Cant beat the enjoyment of all of my v-dubs.

  Never thought Id love a wagon :) - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Makr - April 8 - 5:10 pm

  2010 Jetta Sportwagen TDI - Candy White, Black Interior, 6-speed. My wife wanted something with room and good gas mileage(not easy to find, as you may already know). I wanted something fun to drive. BAM! VW has the perfect solution. Weve only got a little over 1K miles, but this car is great and grows on me more every day. 6-speed is a blast to drive, does not feel like a station wagon at all. Plenty of room for us, our daughter w/ car seat, 2 dogs and luggage on last road trip. What a great feeling to look down and see that youre cruising along at 75+ mph and getting 42+ mpg!! We plan on keeping this car for a LONG time...thanks VW!

  Fun plus fuel efficient - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Andy - March 1 - 10:00 am

  Purchased a manual transmission tdi wagon in late august. Have owned a diesel rabbit back in the 70s, since then nothing but hondas and volvos. Vw has hit a home run with the jetta sportwagen. Fun to drive, great gearing, 40+ mpg since day one. Decided to purchase when vw finally had incentives on the diesel (1.9%) plus the tax credit. Hope it lasts like my hondas and volvos. So far no complaints, and pleasure to drive. Looking forward to how it handles snow this winter.
