  Best Value in the market! - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By jfortino - December 11 - 8:43 am

  I am astounded by the value of this vehicle! The size of the vehicle, the performance and the features and options for the price can not be beat. Although it is not the most sexy car on the road, you will be hard pressed to find anything better! The drive of the vehicle is great, bluetooth, stereo included are outstanding!

  A great little car - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Chris Plato - November 29 - 4:27 pm

  It has all the upgrades you can get including a rear view camera and anti-stain treated interior. Its peppy at low and high speeds. Im always surprised by how roomy the car is - both front and back. The heated seats are a nice touch even if the car did live almost all of its life in San Diego. The vehicle has California car emissions equipment. I love this car, especially with satellite car radio.

  excellent car - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By pvtmack - December 6 - 2:00 am

  Driving the Jetta has been nothing but a pleasure. Its really very comfortable, reliable, and affordable. The gas mileage is better than I thought. Its a great looking car, inside and out. We enjoy the sound system and the sunroof. Driving has truly been an excellent experience in our new VW Jetta.

  Updated Review from previous one! - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By alexx52093 - June 9 - 9:42 pm

  I wrote a previous review on this car as well and would like to update it! My 11 Jetta SE w/ Conv/Sun now has 50k mi on it! It has gotten me through this brutal winter that hit the east coast w/out a single problem! Always starts, never fails, ever! I use it to commute 120 mi round trip to school every week, and I deliver pizzas with it on the weekends! I take good care of it, but it does get some hard use! Build quality isnt fantastic, and Ive had a few issues with some cheap panels breaking and I had a minor electrical issue w/ taillight. All fixed under warranty and not much of a hassle at all. All cars have quirks and issues of their own. But you cant beat this car for the price!

  2011 TDI Jetta Sportwagen 6m - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Licensed in 72 - May 8 - 10:00 am

  Have only driven the car once since we picked it up last night but test drove 2010 and 2011 6m and DSG. Settled on the 2011 6m with nav, panoramic sunroof and protection packages. This will be the wifes car and was the perfect fit for her and our family. The wife is even reading the owners manual like her Kindle. A first. Really test drove the cars the way they should be driven which really startled the salesman. Felt like the DSG was driving me but a vast improvement over past autos in the TDIs Ive owned but the manual is still the way to go. The leatherette seats are better than leather for maintenance and the accoutrements are almost overwhelming. An amazing ride and value.

  Factory defects from factory - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By luisdiaz - July 9 - 6:24 am

  Bought a new 2011 jetta se from day one car pulling and drifting to right. Dealer said it was out of alignment and rotated tires with only 250 miles on car. Still drives toward right side. Took in two more times, they said nothing they can about it. Tested another demo car same thing looks like a factory defect. Have filed for lemon law. Buyers beware of this factory problem it will eat your tires up. Miami, fflorida owner.

  I Like it! - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By Jeremy - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Im not really sure why everyone was bad-mouthing this vehicle. Hearing people complain about a car they have never driven is really annoying. I was looking for a commuter vehicle. I replaced my 2004 BMW 530I with a 2011 Jetta. I bought a SEL with the sports package and automatic. It has Nav, heated seats, push button start, and a bumpin system. Im really happy with it so far. I think that VW has a winning combination here. The sport seats are very comfortable and the dash and buttons are in all the rights places.

  2011 Jetta TDI 6 spd MT - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By mike18040 - January 12 - 6:04 pm

  I have owned my Jetta for 2 weeks and absolutely love it. I read the Edmunds review prior to purchasing and I dont agree that VW has made a cheaper car. I owned a 2006 TDI and also loved that car, but I believe the 2011 is even better. The interior is wonderfully designed and high quality compared to many other cars. The 6 spd manual is silky smooth and fun to drive. It handles like its on rails. The fuel mileage is unbelievable for the power that you get too! The leatherette seats are of very high quality and look great. Overall, this car is worth every penny and is not cheaply built in any way. It seems like it should cost a lot more.

  New Jetta - 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
  By KLRider - November 29 - 2:00 am

  We were a little worried the 4 cyl would be underpowered however with the 5sp M transmission the powertrain performs quite nicely. While the redesign does affect driveability slightly the car still has the VW feel and it much better than its competition. In other words it is not a typical sluggish small car boat.
