Overview & Reviews

The big news for the 2014 Jetta is its new 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine, which replaces the underwhelming five-cylinder that powered the Jetta for many years. There's also a handful of equipment updates, including a standard independent rear suspension, an available rearview camera and VW Car-Net telematics.

• Smooth ride quality
• Good fuel economy and performance from turbocharged engines.
• Spacious interior and trunk

• Weak, inefficient base engine
• High price of diesel-powered TDI
• Spotty interior quality.

  Fatiguing to drive long distances - 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
  By gemigniani1 - November 13 - 3:10 pm

  Seats are and well shaped and comfortable for about 15 minutes, then you realize they are too hard and fatigue and soreness begins to set in. Road noise is prominent so between the noise and hard seats, the car is not one you look forward to driving long distances. The 2013 Corolla is considerably better for longer trips. I have not driven the resigned 2014 Corolla to see if it is still comfortable on long trips. Another undesirable feature of the Jetta is that the effort required to activate the power windows is very high. Ive never experienced that in an American or Asian car.

  This vehicle will bring you PROBLEMS - 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
  By ryanrw - May 30 - 3:32 am

  The car itself is a nice looking car. It drives well, tight steering, plenty of torque, and gets great fuel economy. After 5 separate trips to the dealership, however, I am no longer a fan. Sales experience was also terrible. I was rushed out the door and never recieved an overview of all the features of the vehicle. I have been back to the dealership to have the following addressed on different occasions: 1. Windows wouldnt roll down 2. Windshield was installed improperly at the factory and made noise 3. Horn wouldnt work 4. Back up camera wouldnt work 5. Hazard lights randomly come on at ignition and wont shut off 6. Loud bang followed by glow plug light and check engine lig
