Year / Model Reviewed:
2009 Jetta SE

Strengths:
A lot of the features that you usually have to pay extra for on other cars are included on the Jetta - Heated Seats(on cloth or leather)now that's HOT and the Auxiliary Input Jack- everyone has a Ipod now - (except me) but im going to get one

Weaknesses:
The engine is a little loud,back seat is a little tight but i dont have to sit back there LOL, Large trunk

Summary:
The Carefree Maintenance Program was the best thing they could have added to their 2009 models - 3 years or 36000 miles- i love that because im the type of person who would wait till the last minute to take my car to get serviced but now since its included i dont have any excuses,

Price Paid:  $17900.00

2007 Jetta Base Model

Strengths:
70mph, 5th gear at 3000RPM I am just starting to hit peak torque!

Weaknesses:
Car wants to speed and thus easy to burn extra petrol.

Summary:
The car rocks. The price was awesome. I have the 5 speed manual and with 2000 miles it gets better everyday. It looks SO MUCH MORE expensive then it is.

I will update at about 10000 miles!

2006 Jetta TDI with DSG

Strengths:
Fuel economy. Pleasing to drive with torquey engine. Smooth, quiet ride. Excellent suspension control.

Weaknesses:
Plastic pieces tend to rattle at certain temperatures.

Summary:
This is the best car I have owned in a long while. Fabulous diesel engine coupled to an outstanding DSG transmission. New independent rear suspension is a great improvement over the 2005 model. Large trunk and plenty of space inside the cabin. I have cloth seats which are very comfortable even after long trips - seats are well shaped. Steering wheel, controls and finish are excellent with everything in the right place. VW really listened to the complaints of the previous model. Would definitely buy again.

2006 Jetta

Strengths:
Looks and mileage are great.

Weaknesses:
Quality, Service departments, Electrical problems, multi function display

Summary:
Eletrical problems from 6500 miles on. Not a consumer friendly auto. Try going to a local parts store for oil and/or filter. Been in for warranty work many times and problems still abound.
