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."

  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.

  Nice Car - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By jessie brouillette - August 8 - 4:26 am

  I have had my Jetta since 09/05. I have only had one problem with it, which was the truck latch didnt work all the time. They replaced it and I have had no problems since. I have owned Hondas and the Jetta is much better built car on the outside and inside. Especially the seats, they have better quality leather. For people who are shorter, the inside is user friendly and comfortable.

  Evo 8 to Jetta GLI - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By TucsonDesertRat - June 11 - 8:43 am

  Well, you may think Im crazy going from high-performance to economical but, this car still holds to the same fun as the EVO 8 w/o the speed or the cops always looking your way. I choose the GLI because of it great features it offers the features of a BMW 3 Series without the sticker price and you get all the extras that the EVO didnt have! GREAT gas mileage! The in-dash display that almost tells you everything about your cars status is pretty cool too! Ill miss the HP and torque of my EVO but, not the highschool kids always trying to race me! ;-) Good job VW!!

  love my dub - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By johnny - April 11 - 3:43 am

  I have had the car for 25,000 trouble free miles now and have enjoyed all the car has done for me. Installed drop in k&n filter in place of factory filter and this helps car to breath better and gives car better tip in throttle response, especially when a/c is in operation. Replaced rear pads at 23,000 miles which should be covered under warranty but is not. VW needs to cover this issue under warranty. As long as you take your vw to dealer to be serviced, and drive it in low rpm range when cold you should not have problems with this car, as I have had no problems with my previous jettas. Also volkswagens arent supposed to stand and warm up, drive off immediately after starting!

  The Volkswagen Jetta is Awesome - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Krystle - April 2 - 3:16 am

  The Volkswagen Jetta is awesome. I took this vehicle with me to Vegas and got almost 40 mpg on the highway.

  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.

  2007 Wolfburg 42K miles - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By swkohnle - March 4 - 8:10 am

  I have driven my 2007 Jetta with 5 sp manual for 42K miles without any issues. It gets serviced at my VW dealer only at the required intervals. I follow the dealer service recommendations. I love this car. I have it detailed every 4 months. I drive between NY and Pittsburgh every 4 to 6 weeks and love the comfort and reliability this car has provided me. This is my 3rd VW having had a 2000 Passat, and a 2003 Jetta TDI. Both I drove over 200K miles.

  Nice Solid Compact Car - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Bob - March 3 - 1:00 am

  This car drives and handles well. Its fun to drive and is nicely appointed, but its the most expensive Jetta package, costs over $25,000. Trading in a 01 V6 fully loaded Passat, I didnt want to give up any extras. The new styling is great, and the upgraded 17" wheels make the car stand out. I did not test drive the car on the interstate before buying...big mistake. The road noise is very noticable, much louder than what Im used to. I keep turning up the radio to compensate. If I had it to do over, I probably would have looked more at a midsize car and checked for a quieter ride. If youre looking for a small car and can get past the road noise, its a nice car.

  2007 Volkswagen Jetta - 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  By mboggian - January 8 - 1:20 pm

  When I searched for my first new car, I had focused on Honda, as I have had good experiences with Hondas previously. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the VW Jetta. It is small on the outside and big on the inside, theres plenty of space for passengers and storage. Its a lot of fun to drive. The only drawback it has is it gets lower gas mileage than I would like. I can justify this by attributing the lower gas mileage to a heavy car body, which serves as an excellent safety feature.

  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.
