We have owned this vehicle for 3 years, and bought it used with almost 50,000 miles on it. Since then, we have put almost another 50,000 miles on it. Overall, we like it very much; it's comfortable, handles very well and is a pleasure to drive, has not had any serious mechanical issues, and is the right size for our small family.

Keeping in mind that the Jetta is an economy car priced under $20,000 when new (Good condition used can often be found for under 8 grand) it is comparable to a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla in price, but boasts better styling, more passenger room, greater trunk space, and in my opinion better styling and material build quality.
