I am a college student and this car is a great and reliable car for this period in my life. It has served me quite well and is way better than my previous 2 door car. I really enjoy all the space it provides and the good gas mileage I get (approx. 28 MPG). It is a manual car, which I used to enjoy, but is getting harder with living in the city and all the commute traffic there is.

When I got this car, I chose to get a few extras: heated seats, a built-in navigator, and a cute tail fin. My model takes diesel, and while it gets great gas mileage at 5 years old and 60K miles, diesel can sometimes be harder to find and is a little more expensive per gallon. This is probably the most comfortable car I have ever had the pleasure of riding in. Like I mentioned, we optioned for heated seats, and the seats also adjust in a multitude of ways - not simply forward and backward, but the lumbar pad adjusts too. I have chronic back pain, and all these variables have been a lifesaver. The in-dash navigator has helped me find the most obscure address. I've lived in my city for about fifteen years, but there are still parts that I don't know. It helps a lot. A lot of people in my neighborhood have Jettas, and even the same color as ours, so sometimes it's difficult to find *our* car in the sea of dark blue Jettas at the grocery store.
