  • For the best video experience, we recommend wearing a good set of headphones for the POV Test Drive at 2:50. The audio in this video was recorded with binaural microphones that, when played back through headphones, give the feel of 3D sound. Trick stuff.

    No stupid vicious talking people describing things and possibly influence into our minds. You FEEL the car and drving experience, you can make your own criteria by just looking at this video.
    My conclusion, this year's car suspension is stiff, not as hell, but stiff.
    Super Videos! Too good I found a treasure, keep them like that, no voice.

      @@PerfectGamer100 I couldn't make any complaints about it, motor and transmission held up good. I was just starting to get some slight chain rattle right when I traded it in about a month ago, headliners also started coming down tho that seems to be common among vw after a while. Beyond that it was a champ on road trips. I suggest finding one with 4 disc brakes instead of rear drums like mine had. I believe 13 and above started having them standard across the board.

    I was really surprised how it handled that entrance ramp at 3:55. And I love the 5 cylinder sound, too. This Jetta reminds me a lot of my first car - a base 1995 Volvo 850 Sedan with a 5-speed manual and non-turbo inline 5.

Just took it from illinois to colorado and back, averaged 34mpg doing 70-80mph all highway, mixed i get around 30. Engine is plenty powerful and had 0 problems going up and down mountains, also Sport mode is tons of fun! Nice quiet ride, and been super reliable so far. Cheers!

    Got my 2013 Jetta over the weekend. Really really enjoy it and only had like 8k miles on it ( got lucky there lol ) and I overall love and enjoy it. But from driving my old car a 99 Acura CL that had 155k when I got it and went bad on transmission 20k miles later it's gonna take some getting used to. But the overall handling of it is impressive in my book:) and the base model is enough for me.

      Keeping in mind it's a 4 door people carrier, it is indeed fun to drive. Maybe not as much as the gli or a wrx, but plenty good for its' price point. It can feel sporty or economical, however you feel like driving it. Prefer the manual, but the auto in sport mode also does well.

    2.- Did you custom the engine of the car? Or it´s the stock naturla 5 cylinder 2.5 sound(I´m about to buy a 2014 jetta with the same engine)... Sounds very good!!

    Volkswagen is a leader in economy automobiles. American automakers started late in the market giving the edge to Volkswagen and Janssen rival's. The masters of economy automobiles. The quality is second to none. Just look at the bailout for General motors and chrysler. Two American automakers are failures they make junks that no one would buy in their right state of mind. That's why we see so many Volkswagen's on the American roads and Japanese cars too. (Quality made to last)
