July 17, 2022Very good compact car that has great gas mileage and is perfect for city driving
June 21, 2020It si was the vaue we needed. It has good features for a base level model. Could use heated steering wheel and auto lights.
March 17, 2022I previously owned a 2014 VW Jetta and was completely satisfied with it. I would buy another Jetta. My concern with this particular car was what appeared to be exceedingly high mileage between oil changes. It is possible more frequent oil changes were done at non-dealership oil changing services but I had no way to verify info that.
January 21, 2022I believe that is car is an amazing value. The features the SE trim offers are amazing. I only wish mine had automatic lights.
February 15, 2021Im finding used Jettas are being priced at a lower point than a lot of other brands. I havent heard anything bad about how they operate so can just think they are a very good deal right now.
April 6, 2023The 2017 VW Jetta is a great car! After reading reviews from US News & World Report, I had a strong interest in the car. (The timing to get a new car just wasnt right for me.) The manual transmission and gas mileage were huge pluses for me; manuals give a much better driving experience, in my opinion. The price was also fair.
