The 2013 Jetta is much larger than you think inside. It has the rare combination of being able to park like a compact car yet be able to seat four or 5 adults without issue. Personally I was pleased with the level of comfort inside and how it handled road noise. The overall build quality was evident the first time I closed the door and heard a solid thunk sound. The economy was exactly what I hoped for and what I expected with nearly 30 mpg combined. Maintenance has been a breeze and with about 70k miles so far no major issues have come up.

I enjoy the simple design of my Jetta. It is not too flashy or boring. The simple lines and styling make it look classy without seeming like Volkswagen was trying too hard. The gas mileage is great and I love the money I save on it. The downside to the great gas mileage is that it has a four cylinder engine that does not have great acceleration. In my opinion, as a college student on a budget that is a sacrifice that I was more than willing to make.
