Pros: Interior, performance, Build quality.
Cons: Price, Boring exterior design
The Bottom Line: The Jetta GLI offers good performance and a rich interior, but its homely exterior and high price tag are unforgivable..
When VW released its redesigned Jetta in 2005 I was impressed with its rich interior and solid handling, but disappointed with pretty much everything else. For 2006 Volkswagen has reintroduced its GLI version of the Jetta, which is supposed to add some ...

Pros: Engine, seats, room (for a compact), premium look and feel
Cons: Ugly styling, odd instrument panel, confusing instruments, feels large, not very fun to drive
The Bottom Line: Great engine and seats, but still not much fun to drive and awful to look at. If I wanted a Toyota, I'd buy it from Toyota.
Last April when I drove a

reviewed the new 2005.5 Jetta 2.5, I found luxury-class amenities coupled with tepid performance. Given the new Jetta's 3300 pounds of road-hugging weight, 150 horsepower just weren't ...

Pros: reliable, powerful, fuel-efficient, solid, sleek, spacious, safety features, Tiptronic option, seats with lumbar support
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: I’ve been a VW fan for years and gradually progressed from the VW Golf to the VW Jetta Sedan 2.5L with nary a problem.
When I was a little girl, my dad drove two VW Beetles one after the other. The first one was the classic white Herbie. The second one was a bright red semi-automatic. When I grew up and it was time to choose my first car, I felt myself naturally drawn ...

Pros: Top Safety Ratings, great resale value, pocket sparing fuel economy.
Cons: More option packages would be nice.
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car for anyone who is safety and fuel economy conscious. You can't go wrong.
BACKGROUND I need to begin by saying that I haven't driven a Volkswagen in decades and have leased Nissan vehicles for the past 20 years. In my efforts to get out of leasing I decided to bite the bullet and get rid of my 2005 Altima and ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Big improvements in safety, better ergonomics. Drives like a dream.
Cons: Euro-average design, not suited for BIG people over 6'4".
The Bottom Line: If you want performance and great mileage in comfortable, sporty and safe car, the Jetta TDI has it all.
Introduction I've owned 4 VW Jettas, 2 gas fueled models in the 80's and 2 now in the 2000's, both diesels. When I decided to replace my 2000 TDI, I went straight for the 2006. I'm delighted with my new car--VW has kept this loyal customer quite ...

Pros: Interior and level of features
Cons: VW reliability history
The Bottom Line: Nice evolution to the New Look of VW with a great feel from the driver's seat, but watch out for questionable reliability.
The totally redesigned 2005-and-a-half Jetta remains unchanged for 06. Is it really that much better than the MkIV? I think so. But what about VW reliability?? All in good time - first, here's my take on the newest member to the VW family. The Jetta ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Driving, interior room, trunk, build quality, exterior and interior looks, stereo, functional options
Cons: driver leg room, maintenance quirks, cheap steering wheel
The Bottom Line: This car is the perfect compromise for a "compact" sedan on a budget.
My wife and I purchased this car new at the end of ‘05 as a ‘06 model. The cars that were cross shopped against the Jetta were the Honda Accord, Honda Civic 4-door, Mazda 3, Hyundai Sonata, as well as a few other new model small to ...

Pros: This is a fine car.
Cons: Value for money.
The Bottom Line: Look at other cars. If you don't you're stupid! Loyal, but stupid.
The people's car company has made another unusual vehicle and I'm still unsure what I think. I promise as I write this that I don't know what I'm going to say. I'm just going to let my experience turn into an opinion. Drive I ended up driving this ...

Pros: Features, interior quality, safety, price, refinement.
Cons: Hit or miss reliability and dealership service.
The Bottom Line: Excellent car plagued by hit or miss reliability.
In January 2006 I purchased a brand new 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 with manual transmission. Now with approximately 55,000 miles and ~3.5 years on it I am ready to write a review of my ownership experience. The car: ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Price, styling, performance
Cons: Rear seat middle passenger legroom
The Bottom Line: I held off making a review until I had some miles under my belt. After 3K no problems and nothing but exhilarating driving -- and great fuel economy.
I came here to read reviews after test-driving the 2006 GLI. Then I bought one. I'm glad I did. With about 3,000 miles on the car thus far (I bought it new), I couldn't be happier. The 2006 GLI I purchased is a 'no option' in black, with 6 spd ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Engine, styling, comfort
Cons: Sun visors, lack of trunk handle
The Bottom Line: Sleek and sexy styling, top-notch engineering, comfortable and fun interior, superior safety, and great price. Definitely a winner.
In short, this is everything you could want in a sporty mid-priced sedan. Volkswagen builds solid German vehicles, and the Jetta is no exception. My family has a history of owning German engineered vehicles, namely VW and Mercedes-Benz, so my natural ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fuel economy, roomy, comfy, build quality, fun to drive.
Cons: Diesel fuel required, slight idle diesel noise. parts availability??
The Bottom Line: TDI is a good alternative to a hybrid. More fun to drive than the current hybrids. Well equipped in the base model. DSG trans issues with some cars.
I purchased a 2006 Jetta TDI to save fuel. My previous vehicle (an F150 pickup) was consuming about $600.00 gas per month. I also considered and drove the Prius, Accord hybrid and Civic hybrid. While I liked all the hybrids, the Jetta was substantially ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Really fast, really smooth, and merely sips gas. FUN!
Cons: That I don't have two of them.
The Bottom Line: Love it, love it, love it. Would buy it for anyone who loves high performance and good gas mileage.
There are about 1,001 2006 Jettas available, so let's be clear at the outset that this review involves the 2006 Jetta 2.0T. As you might imagine, this is the 2.0 liter engine with turbo for added performance. Instead of regurgitating what you'll ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great pep and gas mileage on the base 2.5 engine, solid and safe feeling
Cons: More road noise than most VWs, possible reliability issues
The Bottom Line: Fun to drive without being a gas guzzler. Features and options that other cars this price don't have. Safe and solid feeling on the road.
I've been driving an '06 Jetta for the last two weeks and wanted to share my observations. I'm a big VW fan, and have spent a lot of time driving in other VWs for comparison -- including a 1998 Passat, 2001 Jetta, and 2003 New Beetle Convertible. This ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Excellent interior, powerful engine choices, roomy, great ride and handling
Cons: Not enough engine choices, asinine exterior design, too heavy, not German-built
The Bottom Line: Good in some respects, not good in others. A worthy buy? Read and decide.
The MkIV Jetta was an attractive car. Its design said clearly, "I am German", and its engine choices let you choose between more fuel economy and more power. Its interior was better than anything in its class. You see them all over the road, because they ...
