2012 Volkswagen Jetta - Reliable, basic sedan
The MK6 Jetta S is pretty basic; it has no bells and whistles, but will get you where you need to go. I previously owned a MK4 Jetta ('99) that was also the base model, but it had better design (overall and dashboard). Both models are one of the few vehicles that still have a manual transmission option (a must for me).
Story
Driving down to Richmond to meet my boyfriend's parents. We got stuck in traffic, but still enjoyed the ride in the car.
Pros
It has a simple design without a lot of features I don't want in a car (back-up camera, sensors, etc.). It's also quite affordable with great gas mileage and little need for maintenance. The car itself drives well and does just as well on the highway as local roads.
Cons
Before putting after-market trim pieces and rims on the car, it was very bland and generic. With a 2.0 it's also very slow to get up to speed. The dashboard's design is also very generic-looking without any of the nice lighting that the MK4 had. The vehicle also didn't come with a center console (that was on the base model of my '99). The interior dash and seats look cheap, though they do hold up over time.
2015 Volkswagen Jetta - Great mid-size sedan suitable for everyday driving
The Jetta is a great car for your personal use. It is an excellent mid-size sedan that is perfect for a small family of three such as myself. The exterior has a sleek, yet simple design. The interior is beautiful, seats are very comfortable to sit in especially for long drives. I have experienced zero issues thus far. It has proven to be a very reliable car since the day I purchased brand new off the lot. The sound system is all around great.
Story
When I purchased my car, it took 12 hours of negotiation. I think by the end of the day, the manager at the dealership was just ready to settle and get us out. My mother jokingly requested for them to fill up her gas tank and give her a free shirt from their accessory store which they obliged.
Pros
Favorite features is that it is gas efficient, the sound system is great, plenty of trunk space.
Cons
I wished my car had power seats.
