Wow, I cannot wait to get my R-Line. This is one of the best in depth videos on the R Line, very well done and showed exactly what all pther videos havent.

[@tydrives4846]

That’s great to hear! I hope you like the new car b

[@MattGarcyaDC]

Tin Mann how is it

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Did you get one

[@pulldpin67]

Best review I've seen so far...

[@83mhz]

You do great work man. Keep em coming ! I appreciate what u do.

[@tydrives4846]

I’ll try my best!

[@DCMcNeilJr]

Thank you for your thorough review. I know it was four years ago but I'm looking at a few used 2019 r-lines. Your video was very informative and gave a great presentation of the car. Thanks.

[@tydrives4846]

Great to hear this was helpful! Good luck in your search.

[@jeepguy95]

I've driven the Jetta Mk. VI but can't wait to drive the Mk. VII! :)

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

As always, incredible review, Tyler! The Jetta sure does seem like an extremely solid competitor in its class. Also, I absoultely love the R-Line appearance trim on all VWs... They add a very sporty exterior appearance while still retaining the same great fuel economy numbers. Honestly, I would imagine sales numbers to increase quite a bit for the Jetta, especially considering how much it adds to the compact sedan class in terms of technology, space, and fuel efficiency. Keep it up! 👍🏽

[@tydrives4846]

I like the R-Line too, it’s a nice slot between just a regular Jetta and the GLI. Like you said you still get great fuel economy but it looks the part, sporty.

[@agarci7]

I was dead set on a mazda3....buuuuuuuut now im leaning more toward the jetta, this car is just sexy,

[@tydrives4846]

They’re both very nice cars

[@sosway17]

Definitely get the Jetta.

[@Ari-il3ib]

agarci7 how bout that q50

[@robostripez]

I wish this level had the digital cockpit

[@elmhurst86]

Unbelievable that it doesn't!

[@cornstar1253]

Next level up does. I prefer the analog style dials

[@MindfulConsciousness]

I have a question... do all black Jetta 2019 r line have seats combined with black & white ?

[@SexyBulldozerMan]

are they going to have the vw r engine?

[@thedude2897]

I ended up going with an 18 Passat R Line over this. Bigger size, bigger engine, etc.. I do like the curved dash and the higher screen in the 19s though.

[@cornstar1253]

The Dude I drove the passat and didn't like it. For the money this is better

[@buildmorefarms1007]

Much improved, wish they had a GLI version out!

[@tydrives4846]

I haven’t heard any word of a GLI yet but I am hoping they announce it soon! I work for this VW dealership so as soon as they come in expect a video!

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Your wish was granted

[@ahmedbayoumi1345]

Is it as smooth as civic or Corolla?

[@silkhead44]

cd player is in the glove compartment

[@cornstar1253]

silkhead44 no Cd player

[@royaltylw5347]

Apart from the fake exhaust, exposed trunk hinges. The new jetta does every thing great for me

[@elmhurst86]

No digital cockpit?!

[@IzquiKid]

How come for 2019 r-line, it went from 2018 2.o to 1.4?

[@tydrives4846]

All in the name of fuel economy

[@IzquiKid]

N&T Auto Reviews I do appreciate the change but will the car handle a smaller engine?

[@tydrives4846]

I have yet to drive the new Jetta, but the turbochargers usually make up for it. It’s got a lot of the torque down low in the rpm ban.

[@IzquiKid]

N&T Auto Reviews I had to ask since I'm very interested in the r-line. Upgrading soon and I'm not sure if I should wait for the 2019 or get the 2018 version. After seeing the MPG for the 2019, I'm reconsidering to wait but dont know

[@cornstar1253]

Adrian Izquierdo gets great mileage. I have one

[@CoDMw3Mp7]

Should I get a 2019 Jetta r-line or the 2018 Mazda 6 sport?

[@oscarmu901]

I been thinking hard about this vw they have great deals and great 6 year warranty

[@desotokid99]

I need a power seat. Why can'i VW offer the option on their lower priced trims?

[@tydrives4846]

It’s a good question I’ve been asking for a while

[@solid1378]

The new Jetta does not have an independent rear suspension. Definitely lots of cost cutting with cheaper suspension set-up and hard interior plastics everywhere.

[@domenicmaldonado4918]

It has independant suspension all around

[@solid1378]

@Domenic It does not have an independent rear suspension but a torsion beam suspension, which is not an an independent system. www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2019-volkswagen-jetta-first-drive-review

[@ashtonvlogs2451]

Doesn’t it have interior ambient lighting?

[@tydrives4846]

On S, SE and R-Line trims there is no ambient lighting. Only on SEL and SEL Premium my friend.

[@Fromsolar]

Would this be a good car to tune ?

[@heyitsme939]

Why is Sirius XM exclusive to the SEL and SEL Premium?

[@beltsare4995]

Сколько стоит в $ .?

[@adamdaniel01]

Mightest we'll get S model and save money. Sure it doesn't have the cool rims and upgraded motor but big deal.

[@pulldpin67]

Why didn't you drive it??????????????

[@tydrives4846]

I’m working on getting a GoPro and ding POV drives. Unfortunately some of the dealerships won’t let me drive them until I’m 21 some are 18. I am 18 at this point in time so I’ll only be able to drive a few cars

[@GeeeBeeee]

I really wanted to stick to VW but between the new Dieselgate findings (testing emissions with a TDI vs an F-150 diesel on caged monkeys) and my 2016 GLI burning oil every 1000 miles, I'll just terminate my lease, eat the disposition fee, and go to a brand that also funds AMERICAN workers! My GLI also came from Puebla and it feels pretty crappy compared to a Golf R (obviously German parts all around and assembled there). Let's not forget VW North America severely undercuts our market with the slushbox 8 speed versus the 7-speed DSG on the upcoming Arteon (good luck). I'm done with VW North America.

[@rickb.341]

vw's...they are good for 1 year max

[@thedude2897]

Rick B. Wrong. Many people have them well over 300k. It's called do proper maintenance.

[@rickb.341]

it's called buy japanese.. you don't have to do anything and have 400k... is it magic? or just better cars. ;)

[@thedude2897]

Rick B. You don't have to do anything? Every car needs maintenance. If you don't you're an idiot. I've owned several brands of cars and I've had VWs out last some Toyotas. People are brain washed into thinking just because its Japanese its the only way to go. Also VW's transmissions are Japanese....

[@tydrives4846]

Regular maintenance is the most important thing. Do not listen to the manufacturers claim of changing the engine oil every 10k miles or more. That’s crazy. If you want your car to last change that oil every 3-5k miles. Regular maintenance is key.

[@thedude2897]

N&T Auto Reviews I've actually sent several samples of oils to Blackstone in the past. All samples from 10k and 5k. As long as you are using a high quality filter and full synthetic oil (not a blend) if you change anything below 8 you're really wasting money. There was hardly any difference between the 2. Nothing that would justify changing early. I've tested Vavoline, Castrol and Mobil 1. There's nothing wrong with 10k changes as long as its good full synthetic oil. I wouldn't go anything over that though and would never use the Mobil 1 so called 20k oils.

[@UnboxingSve]

1.4 R line :D. What the hell is wrong with vw

[@SuperNova0216]

Well it’s not a performance R lol just the aesthetic look of the R.. as a VW performance enthusiast I’m waiting for the GLI to show later next year

[@tydrives4846]

I’ll have a video of one as soon as they show up at my VW dealership!

[@tydrives4846]

Keep in mind this is an R-Line. Pretty much just an appearance package. If you get like the golf R that’s where the performance goodies are. People who buy a normal Jetta probably don’t care how fast it is lol.

[@dqwaszx]

As usual, here's another car that I see other commenters gushing over, yet I think it's very unattractive.

[@PieKlan]

For real. Don't even get why the "RLine" is a different trim package, it looks exactly the same as all the other ones lol.

[@danjhn6084]

jetta 2019 AKA VrankenWstein (side Ford Fusion + back Hyundai Sonata 7th Gen LF) what a failure... better bring back the MK5 design!

[@a11car17]

1.4 T 👎

[@SuperNova0216]

Edson Pereira yup, the engine is very common in Europe but I agree it doesn’t break necks lol, it’s not a performance car

[@cornstar1253]

I get the tires to squeal on take off no problem. Lots of torque. Sips gas like a miser.

[@marcoxtv6854]

Edson Pereira ikr so fucking slow

[@edgurrr]

Are VWs really that unreliable? I just need a car for 2 years of grad school, and I'll be driving about 40 minutes to & from school/work 3x a week. Y'all think it'll last me two measly years? Lol

[@tydrives4846]

You’ll be mint with this.

[@GeeeBeeee]

My 2016 GLI burns oil every 1000 miles requiring a top off. I'm filling it with 0W-40 Mobil1 which is rated for VW as well as Audi (same oil recommended in 2.0T A4's). Run away from VW if you want longevity (unless you don't mind the VR6, then you'll likely be better off).

[@tydrives4846]

When you change your oil next try a little bit of a thicker oil. That 0 grade oil is like water, it burns off so easily

[@deanh99]

I've had two Jettas in the last 12 years and they've both been very reliable.

[@domenicmaldonado4918]

I have a jetta its twelve years old and it's still running good thinking about buying an jetta rline

[@fatimaabdullah7289]

،٣

[@luv2bottom]

For that price buy a Civic Touring with more power, more tech, better looking & oh yeah it’s not a VW , the interior is so cheap looking, the Jetta use to be really nice with higher quality materials but not anymore

[@thedude2897]

Edward Conner The Civics look like a UFO spit it out of its butt hole.

[@cornstar1253]

Disagree. It looks like what you pay for

[@edgurrr]

The Dude lol true. Looks a little too juvenile for me

[@thedude2897]

Mick9 Yea like exactly what a 16 yr old wants.

[@water892]

Edward Conner A Civic Touring stickers for $3K higher and the 1.5T is having a lot of issues so not worth it.

[@FriedChkn4Eva]

no punch, no more turbo spool sounds...loss of Hp, no currents mods for it (and why would there be for a crappy water-down 1.4 ?? ) The only thing i've seen recently are body kits and wheel spacers, that's it. It's boring...perfect US consumers and baby moms, college students and all of that stupid ass economy shit... VW has DESTROYED the beloved Jetta car that people had fun with for years and loved to tune and modify. You can't do NOTHING with this piece of crap. I'm stickng to my MK6 for good...far as i'm concerned, those were the LAST best Jetta's and Passats.. Smh. I LOVE the growl and sound of my car when i put in DSG or drive in Manual... you can't do NOTHING with this new piece of crap they have.... Smh

[@mikeharris7261]

who the hell buys a car with fake exaust outlets

[@tydrives4846]

Unfortunately the new Jetta, Tiguan, and Atlas from VW have this.

[@cornstar1253]

Meh if you want a race car spend 40,000 more and get what you want. Doesn't bother me in the least. I've had mine for 2 days now and really pleased so far

[@cornstar1253]

The exhaust is diverted down. Much cleaner

[@mikeharris7261]

Mick9 i understand fully why they hid the exuast, i just think it's silly to stick fake exuast outlets on a car

[@chibry]

Unreliable. I bought it two months ago. Already the panel broke off and had to have it repaired. The brakes make this awful sound which the dealership said is normal. Maybe for a 10 year old car it is. I'll post a video of the sound later. And for all you new owners, there's a recall already with a "sealant.". Guess water leaks in. 3 dealership trips in less than 2 months what a mistake :(
