I have been very pleased with the car since I purchased it. It delivers an ideal amount of performance while also delivering superior fuel economy. I drive my car mostly on the highway and I achieve 40+ mpg all the time while also being able to pass people easily. It is a consistent vehicle and it allows me to drive the car further between fill ups than I would be able to do with a gasoline car. I enjoy the luxury that the car offers as well. The vinyl "leatherette" seats could fool me into believing they are leather. The stereo is fantastic and I enjoy the Bluetooth audio feature, too. Overall, the build quality is excellent and there are no rattles at all. The car feels solid and I feel like I get to drive a Mercedes-Benz quality vehicle at VW prices.

For what it is I feel that VW makes an ok-ish car. The Jetta I have is no exception. Lots of features are common to all cars an VW's reputation for high quality does not stand out as much as they would like you to think it does.
