2010 Volkswagen Jetta - Solid choice.
The 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SE is a great sedan for my small family. It is a solid ride and was an economical choice. The MPGs are great on this car—and the repairs have not gone beyond the usual wear-and-tear issues like brakes and oil changes and tires since I purchased it in 2012. It does require a full synthetic oil change, though, which costs a bit more than I was used to paying for on my previous cars (most recently a Saturn). On the plus side, the 87 octane fuel is the recommended blend, so I don't feel like I am doing my car a disservice my gassing up on the cheap.
The car is roomy and comfortable for driver and passengers, front seat and back. I'd like to see a built-in USB charger. Every time I use my cigarette adapter charger I blow a fuse (luckily, changing the fuse is easy!... (more)
Story
It's fun to zip around in this car. It has pep and looks great. It's even comfy at the drive in!
Pros
I'm not a gear head but I think the car has a lot of pep. It is roomy and has great standard features like heated seats and side-view mirrors and lighted mirrors—plus hand storage and cup holders.
Cons
The cigarette adapter is not ideally positioned and makes using an auxiliary phone charger annoying. Also, it seems to blow a fuse VERY often. The only other real beef I have is the price of full synthetic oil changes.
2010 Volkswagen Jetta - A clear winner
I have owned five cars in my adult life, and my 2010 VW Jetta is my hands-down favorite. When I bought it, it had 43K miles on it. There was a problem with the engine (the exact problem escapes me), but it was covered under warranty. From 43K miles to roughly 120K miles, the only repairs that have been necessary are standard maintenance (tires, brakes, oil changes). Now that it has reached 128K miles, the repairs are becoming more frequent. I just had to have the ignition coils replacedÑbut at $600, I guess that's not so bad! My car handles well in snowy Buffalo, NY, and it simply feels sturdy on any road and in any weather. I absolutely adore the heated seats and side-view mirrors. What other base model has those awesome features? The only real complaint that I have is that there is s... (more)
Story
I once drove the car from New York to Georgia. My daughter and I had a great road trip!
Pros
Speedy, handles well, heated seats, and heated side-view mirrors.
Cons
Hubcaps don't stay on when you hit a bump. I've lost all but one. Also, the area under my rear license plate is rusting. Finally, mechanics seem to hate working on VWs, but I simply love mine.

2012 Volkswagen New Beetle - Palisades Volkswagen Nyack
It was local and right down the street from my job so the drive wasn't that bad. Other than that it was your average dealership.

The gentleman who sold me the car was extremely polite and did a great job leading me to a quality vehicle.
