Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 140 sport 2007

5 star review

This is my second jetta having upgraded from a 2006 1.9tdis. What a fantastic bit of kit. VW have pitched this car for a family, as the Passat may be to big for some people and has a long bonnet which my wife found difficult to judge. My new baby has full leather, dsg, winter pack and all the other bells and whistles. It drives, handles, accelerates, and looks fantastic and is far less common than most makes. I seriously cannot fault this car as it gives complete driving pleasure. I have fitted ipod and upgraded the headlamp bulbs to xenon which gives it a wicked look. Read all the OWNER reviews on the web and you will find there is not a car to touch it at the moment. Don’t be fooled by the magazine reviews that it is a golf with a boot, they just don’t see it as anything else. If you are looking for a new car, just take a test drive and look at the all round package, and you will be pleasantly surprised! Hope this helps someone, drive safe!

Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 tdi SE cr 140 2009

5 star review

It’s very early days but this is a very, very enjoyable car to drive. I’m a big fan of VW’s having owned five Golfs previously and this car ticks ALL the usual Volkswagen boxes, especially its superb build quality as exemplified by those heavy front doors. My only minor concern (relatively speaking) was reliability as my previous car was a Toyota Auris, since ,let’s face it, the Jap cars are even more reliable than the Germans. However, I recently drove it all the way from North Wales to Kent and the drive was an absolute pleasure, with such a refined and powerful engine. A class act and if it proves to be reliable I shall certainly consider buying another.

Volkswagen Jetta 2007

5 star review

I Have done 57000 mls in ONE year as a private Taxi. No parts have been required just routine attention. Fuel consumption is showing at 44 mpg, which is very impressive. The body is very robust; a Lorry backed slowly into me and remarkably there was no apparent damage! The clutch pedal offers a bit too much force up through the left foot but that is all I can criticize it for. It looks great and has many extras: bulb out indicators, traction and cruise contol, automatic lights and wipers. A great car.

Volkswagen Jetta 2.0TDi Sport 2006

5 star review

When I saw the ads run on the new Jetta back in January 2006 on Sky, I quickly got myself to my local dealer and ordered one there and then. There was a slight delay though, because I had leather interior, but it was definitely worth the wait. Now, having lived with it for over 2 years I, together with my wife and 3 kids feel that it is the perfect family car one could buy. Having lived with all the Jetta’s ever since its first launch back in 1982, the new Jetta practically sold itself and it didn’t require any introduction. Jetta always had big boots ,and this one is no exception,looks are superb, but it’s the quality of build and drive which are most surprising!! The car is generously packed with easy-go life necessities, and its running costs are very sensible from road funding licence to service costs. In all the car is a total pleasure to be with and i would recommend it any day!!

Volkswagen Jetta SE 1.9 TDI 2006

5 star review

Purchased my Jetta SE 1.9 TDI new. Some 2 years and 30000 miles later I have nothing but praise for this model. Reliability is superb, build is excellent and economy for a car of this size is mind blowing, - ACHIEVING AN AVERAGE 55 m.p.g. Emissions level is low and accordingly so is the road tax band. Boot space is enormous, - fold down the rear seats and I can accommodate my mountain bike with ease. I will be selling the vehicle soon and I will be replacing it with the exact same model. That’s the best testimonial I can give any car!

Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 TSI 200 Sport 2007

4 star review

More room than a golf and less obvious than a Passat. A very good looking car that has plenty of zip and is a real delight to drive. All the high standards you would expect from VW, feels solid and safe and has a very comfortable and roomy interior. Glad I took the plunge and opted for this car, it’s a real beauty!

Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 TDI SE 4dr 2007

5 star review

I’m a huge fan of Volkswagen cars and the Jetta hasn’t dented that any. Based on the Golf this Saloon is easy to drive and very smooth. It is extremely comfortable for a family of 5 and would easily seat 5 adults. Good space in the boot and of course you know reliability isn’t going to be an issue. Excellent car.
