One thing I might add. Always have your vw serviced by vw. Not uncle Frankie who will screw it all up. Cause he does not know what he is doing. Vw will do the job correctly and use the right parts and fluids. Cheaper in the long run.

[@johnnymichael1804]

What if uncle frankie was an ex vw tech who grew a conscience and got fed up with the corporate scam stealership experience and started his own shop?

[@Usef320]

Thats terrible advice. You're paying extra for the same service. Also vw and longrun dont go together

[@kyleansley]

Excellent advice. I bought a vw Jetta turbo in college that was maintained by a shade tree mechanic. I know this because the things we found when correcting his errors. It was the most costly car to get right after he screwed it up. Get it dealer serviced or use a euro specialized mechanic or it will cost you a ton more in the long run.

[@doloresberry3144]

Lol uncle frankie will fuck it up, then people will blame VW reliability 😂

[@saintsfan7991]

Awful advice. Car maintenance/repair is not some magic art. It's nuts and bolts. If you go to a poor independent mechanic, you will get poor work. Same is true of dealerships except they charge drastically more. Don't you think dealership mechanics ever get fired for poor work? I have known several. One was a meth addict. I don't think that I would have trusted his work. Just last month I had a Toyota tech swear up and down to me over his mother's grave that the 4.7 in the Tundra has a timing chain and not a belt. He's wrong. I even know that and I don't make a living wrenching on Toyotas.

[@peterburnham865]

I bought the 2019 manual transmission version of this car. It's fantastic, here is why; 1. Fuel economy is on he highway is close to 50MPG and always better than 40mpg even if you are going 80+. So the Jetta gets as good or better mpg than the most miserly of econo boxes. The city miles are very good also but I can't give a number. 2. The base model comes with everything necessary including Apple Car Play and Android Auto. The only possible exception might be heated seats. 3. The steering, ride, braking are all very good. It's not a sports car but is still a nice driving and riding car. Some of the Japanese or Korean offerings in the price range are dead feeling 4. The base model can be had for $16,000 - $16,500 plus tax, title, license. Other choices in that range are not as nice. 5. Nice Warranty. 6 years, 72,000miles My only complaint is that there is no off throttle deceleration. When you release the throttle or when down shifting there is no resulting deceleration of the car. It feels like something in the induction prevents vacuum; possibly as an anti pollution strategy to prevent crank case gas from pulling up past the rings? Maybe because the engine displacement is so small that there just is not much to off set the weight of the car? People with automatic transmission cars would never notice. Manual transmission cars can be hard to find but in my view, worth it

[@blueleaftuber]

I just ordered one and I'm excited to get it, however because of the semiconductor shortage, my ticket price in 2021 was $21,000 with about 24k miles. Car prices are crazy right now.

I have this car and LET ME TELL YOU THE BASS IS GOOD!! you can adjust it and turn it up and it’s soooooooo nice

[@twoboss7377]

The stereo in the Jetta is extremely loud via Bluetooth. I never dare to go above 1/3 volume unless I want to deafen myself. It has really really really good bass, probably the best I’ve ever heard from a stock stereo. It does sound a little flat, and the bass tends to suppress the mids a bit.

[@SquidBilly]

Around the gear shift those 8 buttons are for whatever you want them to be, whether you want them to control lighting in the back or aftermarket dvd players for the back seats, it's there for customization.

[@TheOnlyInformant]

I financed a 2013 2.5 SE in January. I love it. But I have to agree, there's a modded 4th gen that drives into my work every now and then with the bigger rims and thinner tires, that silverish grey paint, and I love the style. It really seems compact. I don't like the rear lights on mine. Also, it has an electric seatback recline control but still has the little lever for sliding your seat back and forth. And I should mention that while there are no vents for the rear on the console, it's highly likely as with most non-luxury cars that the vents are underneath the front seats, just no control. I found it quite interesting that instead of air vents on the back of the center console, I found one pair of buttons: lock and unlock, to lock and unlock the car.
