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.

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 miles on it (over 40,000 miles at this point in time) and we have yet to encounter any unwanted problems. I really and truly have more positive things to say abut the car than negative ones as my husband and I have been quite happy with the vehicle. We plan to keep it for a while, until we decide to upgrade to another vehicle down the road.
