Lots of car for the money with impressive fuel economy. Much quieter in the interior compared to a Civic and a real auto transmission not a CVT.

[@eddiezorro1]

My Wife just bought one this Sunday, and I got to Drive it, and I absolutely Love it.

[@brandonmcfarland5200]

You Gotta Love That Car!!!!

[@johnoehrle5973]

I drive a 2019 and agree with all you say. Add 46 mpg phila to Atlantic City (more on other trips) and a great deal. $16500.00. and it was a no brainer.

[@jeffmorse645]

Not to mention your ridiculously long bumper to bumper warranty that model year.

[@achristian2744]

With my 2022 model, I am getting up to 62 mpg in the city during freeway driving.

[@winstonsuny]

My 2021 knocks down a consistent 48 MPG!

[@johnoehrle5973]

without trying, but not so hot in the city.

my local dealer has a 23 for 20k right now. Might have to pull the trigger for a new daily

[@mishasound]

So miss my 2021 Jetta. Traded it for Taos. You mentioned that Jetta 2022 has the same as the Taos engine/transmission. I have to say that Taos has very big lag: sometimes car is not responsive for 2-3 seconds after press the accelerator. And the shift from 1 to 2 gear is ALWAYS after 2.2K RPM... So miss my Jetta...

[@tydrives4846]

The Jetta is definitely a nicer car to drive than the Taos

[@dlilking]

Oh wow I thought I was the only one. I notice this lag on my 2023 Jetta. And I just got the car this week. Other than that I have no issue so far

[@justinlafollett9001]

@@dlilkingyeah that lag will be real, but it’s a more torque car for what it is and w a baby engine and turbo no doubt you’re going to get some lag.

[@dcartellone2659]

They shouldn’t have killed the 2.5 5 cylinder. Most reliable vw engine I’ve ever encountered. Now my Touareg engine nothing but maintenance and trouble.

[@ImGriffinP]

My 1.8T has been a solid engine and a good replacment for the 2.5 IMO. The 2.5 is just not with the times anymore sadly.

[@ivynguyen8583]

Is it treadline?

[@Szcza04]

Anyone change their timing belt yet? How much is the cost of that service. Only thing worrying me.

[@joebrooks3824]

Change it at 60k, call VW, and let us know, thx!

[@kevinzee9704]

Does come with 6 manual speed

[@dakotasx]

It does, and I’d highly recommend it over the 8spd. Love my 6 speed 22’

[@keengkai8175]

ironically, your comment is equally as annoying

[@brebello100]

I agree with you, even like enthusiast magazines like motor trend aggravate me like they literally say every car is “underpowered”. Accords, Camrys, legacys, like literally almost every single car is under powered to them. Or they say it has a “weak base engine”.

[@jeffmorse645]

I would 100% consider one if it had a better stereo with satellite. That standard four speaker set up is horrible. That is the only thing that is keeping me from getting one. lol Its unfortunate you have to step all the way up to the top SEL trim at 30K to get something better.

[@johnoehrle5973]

NPR sounds fine

[@cotyboggs4657]

Satellite is on my phone… Speakers can be upgraded at Best Buy for $200.00… LOVE my ‘21 R-Line!

[@djkenny1202]

Just install a better aftermarket stereo

[@johnbrdgz]

Agreed, that was half the reason I went up to the SEL- I swear they made the base speakers purposefully bad sounding so people might go ahead and move up a trim level 🙄

[@peterstrong4414]

My 22 Jetta se is a rattle box. Horrible build quality. It has the worst rattles out of any car I’ve owned and I’ve owned a lot of cars . Embarrassing.

[@michellemendez9675]

I embarrassingly thought that was normal, as it is my 1st car. I usually have music on so I didn't usually hear it though, so I still love it. Sometimes I regret not getting the SEL for the wireless car play & bigger screen, but I think the SE is the best compromise.

[@peterstrong4414]

@@michellemendez9675 it’s absolutely a great car. I love it. Just hate rattles. It’s definitely very nice for the money

[@R3putaytion13]

then why did you buy it?

[@peterstrong4414]

@@R3putaytion13 yeah, it didn’t rattle on the test drive or the first week of owning it. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise

[@doloresvancartier4249]

« it has more horse power than last year Jetta ». Thats the funniest thing Ive heard in a while. Oh and fyi, the acceleration from a complete stop or at low speed is good. However, on the highway, when you want to make a pass, the acceleration is pretty much non existent even when you floor it. Volkswagen knows the average consumer is pretty dumb. Most will do just like you…floor it from a complete stop, say « Wow » and come to the general conclusion that the acceleration is good. This car is way underpowered. But ok.

[@FCNG2424]

I've done highway driving in a Jetta 5 days a week for over a year. To say the car is way underpowered is simply untrue. The torque is very low-end and makes it relatively easy for merging and passing.

[@FCNG2424]

On top of that its got roughly the same horsepower as any other competitive compact car. And has more torque than most as well, along with better fuel economy and a 8-speed transmission which is much better than a CVT

[@brebello100]

Looks fine to me… maybe try a GT Mustang lol

[@Szcza04]

Have you driven a gutless Kia engine. My car has no grunt whatsoever. That is underpowered.
