2016 Volkswagen Jetta - Very safe and needed vehicle for workers
Overall, it's very fair of a vehicle. It sits well for those that don't want a maximalist piece in their garage, but it's good mainly for the simple minded and simple-hearted people. Not a lot of people like to see cars as a comfort option first but I do, and it was one of the things that brought me to happiness with this vehicle. The vehicle rides really nice on gas, and the interior/exterior is well matched. Don't take it from another person that these cars are not good for families. They are and they fit a lot of people/space surprisingly.
Story
I remember the time I was riding down a country highway. I just took in the scenery: the grass, the wheat fields and the cows were all great to see while I was riding this thing, smooth like a whistle.
Pros
Really interesting interior. I love the A/C unit. It keeps me really cool in these summer months. Backing up is a breeze with this vehicle, and as I said above in my review, it's great on mileage. I can fill up a tank with ease and get this thing going for 100 plus miles.
Cons
Not the greatest with leg room in the front, but given the features, it will pass. My least favorite thing about this is the radio. It makes staticky sounds whenever I go under tunnels, perhaps this is just my model/car itself, but don't hesitate to call your dealer if the thing acts up.
2008 Volkswagen Jetta - Quality ride
The 2008 VW Jetta has been a great car for me. I travel long distances much more often than most and needed a car with decent furl mileage, but also great comfort. The Jetta has given me just that. On those long trips, I get good gas mileage and smooth ride while blasting music on a great stereo system. The large truck allows me to take all the luggage that I need on these trips with me without having to sacrifice. Through the years the only real problem I have had with the car has been that in cold, wet weather, the brakes tend to grind a bit before they get warmer up. The handling of the car is great and has saved me from a couple of situations where quick, unexpected circumstances arise on the road. The car has been everything I could have asked it to be when buying it years ago. I... (more)
Pros
The car gets good gas mileage, has a great stereo, rarely needs repairs, satellite radio, great brakes and control, comfortable, and spacious beyond what you would expect.
Cons
The only real negatives with the vehicle that I have experienced so far have to do with maintenance and repairs. Because it is a German car, repairs often cost a fair amount more than with domestic cars. Also, with regards to oil changes, the skid plate makes it extremely difficult to change your own oil (which I am used to doing) and the car requires the expensive synthetic oil, which hurts the wallet a bit.

1997 Volkswagen Jetta - Capital Cities Imported Cars Glenmont
When I purchased my car, they provided me with all the support I needed to ensure that my dysfunctional systems were back in working order. They did a superb job the two times I brought my car to them!
