Volkswagen Jetta 2012Change

I bought this car new in January and have clocked just over 30,000 km so far. Overall the car is great and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, well built sedan. I'll break the review down into the 6 categories that we had to rate with the star system.

Comfort: My car came equipped with the Cornsilk leather seats. They are fairly comfy seats and never had any discomfort during long rides. It being beige leather, they are pretty hard to keep clean but a good leather cleaner (I get mine from an auto detailer) is all that is required to take any stains off. The ride is also exceptionally comfy.

Fuel Economy: This is the main reason for purchasing the Diesel and am not disappointed. I get over 1000 km per tank on this vehicle after the initial break-in.

Performance: For a 4-cyl car it performs really well. The 250 ft/lbs of low end torque from the diesel motor results in the car pulling surprisingly hard for a 140hp motor. Handling is right up there with what you would expect from a German vehicle. It's not a sport tuned suspension and doesn't give me the same confidence i had with my 06 A3 Sport but is way better then most other imports and domestics that i have driven and that are in the same category as the Jetta

Interior: This is the only point where the jetta really lacks. For the price point I expected a lot less hard cheap plastics and at least to have gotten power seats. But this has been addressed with the 2013 model year. The trunk however is exceptionally spacious for the size of the vehicle.

Exterior: I love the way my jetta looks. They really did a great job designing it this time around. It is more young and has a lot better lines then the previous MK V model. I just wish Projector headlights were available when i bought this car.

Reliability: So far I have had to do nothing to this vehicle except for the regular maintenance. I haven't had it for to long, but thus far it has been very reliable.

Hope this helps

I purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago and I couldn't be happier! I was researching other vehicles, but realized they were not quite in my price range. It was insisted that I test drive the Jetta and once I got behind the wheel I knew it was the right car for me. No disappointments so far and not expecting them anytime soon!

This car is very comfortable on long trips and a pleasure to drive. The diesel power is amazing and the car is quite. My car is Moonrock Silver and I love that color.
