Used Volkswagen Jetta for Sale in Bridgeport, CT

I really enjoy our VW Jetta - it's sporty, compact, comfortable and seems to be incredibly safe. I really love it because it comes with memories of the first car that my husband and I purchased together. It has been able to safely transport family members in a mostly comfortable setting. I particularly enjoy special features that I've never had before in a car: the touch sensitive door locks, the push-button ignition start, the GPS system (though we hardly use it; it doesn't take into account traffic and when we were first using it, it got us into a lot of unnecessary traffic jams - we have since only used Google Maps for this specific reason) and the SiriusXM satellite radio. As for performance, it has performed well in the past two years that we have owned it. We put a lot of mi... (more)

Story

We used this car primarily to lug al of our things from our old apartment to new house last year and for months it was filled with things.

Pros

The top positive things about this vehicle are the ease of locking/unlocking (one touch lock + proximity unlocking feature), the digital touch screen and the SiriusXM Radio.

Cons

The negative things about this vehicle would be the terrible GPS system. The navigation isn't completely terrible, but the fact that the system doesn't take traffic into account (especially for people who live in high-density areas), it's not worth the cost that goes into the vehicle's cost. Another odd thing that we found about the vehicle is that the phone charger is for an iPhone 4, which went "out of date" right around the time we purchased the car...

2011 Volkswagen Jetta - Great deal for the price

I purchased a silver 2011 Volkswagen Jetta about a year and a half ago, and I love the driving experience it provides me with decent gas mileage. I get around 27mpg with a five-cylinder motor. I love driving it and putting it in sport mode, so I can shift it myself using Tiptronic. My favorite non-mechanical aspect of the car is the fact that the seats are very comfortable, and I have a very large amount of headroom above.

Story

It's pretty quick, so I love zipping down back roads and around corners and driving with sunroof open and windows down during summer and blasting music. One day, a little boy tried to race me on his bicycle after I continued driving after a red light. I let him win just because I thought he was funny for trying to race me.

Pros

The car provides tons of overhead room for taller drivers and the ability to move the seat back as far as you like (can be difficult with someone in the back seat). There are three charging ports, so anyone that needs to charge their phone can do so. It has a five-cylinder engine with no turbo as opposed to the four-cylinder engine with turbo option. This provides a little less chance of something breaking. I love the "build quality to price" ratio of the car, as it does not feel cheap at all, but it definitely wasn't an expensive car.

Cons

It was the first year that the five cylinder configuration was used, so I was a little anxious that there would be problems, as sometimes there are with the first model year of a car that has major changes -- such as this one. I have had a few problems with alignment for some reason, although I rotate my tires regularly. It is apparently not very uncommon for this model and year.
