The over all look of the car is great. It has a very sleek look. The cabin has minimal road noise and rattle. I do like the dash warning lights. I am made aware of major issues and warned about open doors or flat tires. The trunk is very spacious. With the trunk pass through open, I can fit my seven foot long fishing pole and still easily close the trunk lid. I have very few complaints. The car is difficult to work on yourself. As with most Volkswagen's, the space in the engine compartment is very tight and requires special tools. This can be costly having to go to the dealer or specialized mechanic for repairs. Thus, it can be costly. The car has required few repairs. Most issues can be avoided by routine maintenance. I would suggest this car to anyone looking for a car. In fact, my sister bought hers after she drove mine.

We acquired our 2010 VW Jetta back in 2013. Shortly afterwards, we began hearing a spectrum of bad stories about Jettas that had us pretty apprehensive. We also became concerned about the fact that Jettas are, like other German cars, more difficult to maintain. Overall, our fears have been misplaced. Our Jetta has performed very well for the past four years, despite commuting ~45 minutes both directions from work on a daily (during the week) basis.
