I own a 2004 Jetta TDI with 303000 miles. It’s be the best car that I have ever owned.

The first new car I ever bought was a manual 94 Jetta III LE - exactly 30 years ago... The MSRP of the base model Jetta in 94 was almost $14k which is about $29k in today's dollars, and it was a much simpler car (manual windows, no ABS, read drums, etc..) had less power, worse fuel economy. It's great they still make a car like this at such affordable price.

I got my girl a ‘17 SE for $129/month lease when VW was basically giving their cars away after diesel gate, and it has honestly been one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. In 2017 all models got the GLI’s IRS so it handles well above its price, and the 1.4t is punchy at legal speeds and gets >40mpg no matter how you drive. It hasn’t needed a single repair for 70k miles and still looks and drives like new. It has had many CELs and fault codes, but it’s all just over-reactive sensors and easily cleared with an OBD Eleven scanner. We liked the little car so much that we bought out the lease after 3 years and just decided to keep it as an extra vehicle forever. The residual was so in our favor that it only took another 2 years at $250/mo to pay off. I drive WRXs and tune them to within an inch of their life, but as I get older I’m more and more tempted to trade my ‘22 WRX for a ‘17 GLI DCT with a mild tune and switch between that and the SE depending on if I’m commuting or driving for pleasure. Sure would make consumables easy to stockpile lol.

I own a 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback with the 6-speed manual and I love it. Get a manual transmission while you can because they’re phasing out year after year.

Back to a timing belt? My 2001 Passat wagon has a 20V 1.8T with timing belt; 2016 Golf Sportwagen with a gen-3 16V 1.8T has a chain.

I had a 2005 (before remodel of 2005 1/2) Jetta GLI 6 speed and loved that car. Had it for 13 years before upgrading to an Audi. I do have to say my interior was much nicer with soft materials on doors and such. Does make a difference on long drivers. I blame diesel gate for cost cutting. Nice all the options given as standard like the heated/cool seats and heated steering wheel. Negative on no ports in back.

Manual with a diesel would be awesome

I have a 2021 se Jetta and we just got over 50 mpg in a 400 mile trip. We paid a little over $20,000 great car!

"The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta has a predicted reliability score of 81 out of 100 from US News Cars, which is considered "Great". However, Consumer Reports predicts that the 2024 Jetta will be less reliable than the average new car, based on data from the 2021 model and Volkswagen brand scores. Consumer Reports also gave the Jetta 3 out of 5 marks for predicted reliability, with the only major issue being the in-car electronics."
