"Overall, owners appreciate the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta for its fuel efficiency, handling, and enjoyable driving experience. They often highlight its comfort and decent interior features. However, some owners have noted issues with the clutch, AC performance, and suspension, as well as a lack of modern tech features like Bluetooth.

March 16, 2022Amazing car! Fun to drive around for daily commutes and even better for long road trips with good friends. I have driven this car through the best and worst weather conditions and it has kept powering though and making memorable moments
May 7, 2015Good first car for our teen driver. And it looks pretty good in the driveway too!
March 27, 2021I loved that this car was under $20k brand new. I also liked that it came with black interior for a white car. The best thing about this car was that all windows rolled up/down with one click. I went through gas like crazy though and it was pretty expensive to maintain.
March 11, 2015No cruise, no bells and whistles like Bluetooth. Drove great and idle was good, not rough or high for a manual trans
May 7, 2021The Jetta is a great car...I have owned 3 of them...all diesels ..but have driven many other non diesel Jettas. They are a fantastic car. 2012 Models..should run between $4500-$7000 depending on miles/condition/model . Be aware that if it is Standard...the clutch may go out after 60,000 miles..depending on use...so definitely check the clutch...the AC Unit could be better..so check that out also..it is pricey to fix..another thing...People love to hit you car...door dings and etc...I parked so far away from everyone...all the time...Still managed to get door dings and bumper bumps. Sound of the radio is great with windows up...window down all the way is ok....but with it open an inch to 3 inches...not good....If you are a neat nick...get the floor mats, and mud flaps...car kicks up a great deal of dirt in the back. I averaged 45+ mpg in my 2002 (80000 miles, clutch issues at 60K), 43 mpgs in my 2006(130000 miles, AC issues at 100K), and 42 mpgs in my 2015 (85,000 miles, AC issues (small ones) after 6 months...everytime I had it checked...it was fine... Overall.. very comfortable for front seat, and rear seat small people...I now have a PASSAT...very nice also.
May 1, 2020Grt car. It’s very easy to work on. No issues on the car so far. I bought it for work. So I am going to put a lot of miles on it
June 19, 2021Bought a used car from a dealer with $15000. It's a decent car. The suspension sucks. The look is great. Anything else is normal. The trunk is very spacious. All in all, it's a very decent car with this level of price.
