Awesome car but you pay for it considering the base price of a regular Jetta. I love the looks, the handling, and the 18" wheels make this car pretty impressive looking. Plus it doesn't have the crown front that the regular Jetta's do which I don't care for. Mar 22, 2012

Lots of FUN...Drove 3000 miles within 3 weeks. Has the Audi feel, without the Audi price. Currently gets 31-32 mpg average in city and highway (mostly highway drive from A to B) in manual transmition. Free maintenance for 3 years. Feels solid on the road. Nov 23, 2011

• Performance - out of the box, it was quick and handled well, but needed a little aftermarket TLC. After some go fast goodies, its nasty! • Build Quality - Only one rattle has popped up in the passenger door • Appearance - It is sexy in candy white and the interlagos cloth is growing on me • Cost of Ownership - 30 mpg with APR software! no cost scheduled services for 36k! • Fun Factor - It's a blast to drive now!Nov 29, 2010
