What Owners are Saying About the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
"Zero issues"
"Bought this car with 9,000 miles on the odometer and have had absolutely zero issues with the car. Have only brought it into the shop for oil changes. Have driven this car from Washington to Florida and back 3 times with zero problems. Just hit 60k miles and runs like new."
"Outstanding little car...lots of car for the $$!!"
"While the car is brand new, so far....I'm very, very pleased with my purchase. This is such an incredibly refined and smooth little car. The fuel economy is going be far better than I expected, and I expected excellent economy."
"2021 VW Jetta SEL"
"Purchase a new Jetta SEL in February 2021. This is my second Jetta. My first Jetta was S trim (manual) 2017 but gave that to my son a week after I purchased it. This year I need a new car to replace my old car. I didn’t want a SUV. Sedans are cheaper to own and maintain. The things I love about this 2021 Jetta SEL: It has a great powerful engine (1.4L turbo) and rides smooth. It uses regular gas. So far, I have average 36 mpg and I commute 50 miles a day to and from work. The JETTA GLI would be better since it has the 2.0L Turbo and rear independent suspension but the price tag is way up there. The moonroof is nice and adds that luxury feel. The digital cockpit looks cool and actually functions well. The power seats and lumbar support is a plus. Heat seats and steering wheel is great and “a must have” in Colorado. Rear heat seat is nice too. Huge truck space. I almost purchased the Jetta SEL Premium but couldn’t justify the extra $$$ for navigation; memory power seats, fog lights, and extra speakers. I like the Sedan as it looks good but would much prefer the wagon version which they don’t sell in USA. Things I dislike about the Jetta SEL: the radio sometimes does not work. Adaptive cruise control occasionally stops working. But I must say when it does work – it works well in stop and go traffic. This is the main reason for getting the SEL over the SE or R-Line trim. The auto stop/start engine feature is annoying – The engine will turn itself off at the least expected moment when I’m trying to maneuver into a parking spot. However, I don’t mind it turning off when shifting gear into park or waiting at stop light. One big missing Feature this car doesn’t have is “Auto Hold!” My other cars have it but this one does not. Auto Hold is great for when you come to stop light and not have to press the brake pedal the whole time you’re stopped. And… the “Lane Assist,” only warns you if you go off lane by vibrating the steering wheel or stiffen up the steering wheel if try to change lanes without using your turn signal. But really it does not actually correct your position by auto steering the car back into the center of the lane. I was expecting “Lane Assist to actually keep the car in the center of the lane by auto correcting itself. This is a huge disappointment in VW when other manufactures offer better driver assistances. If I had known this at the time of purchase then I might have considered another car. VW gives you 5 years free “Car Net” access but then after that you have to pay a prescription but I think it should be free for life of owning the vehicle. And another thing is that the SEL trim does not have fog light! I don’t use it much in my other car but when it’s snowing or foggy outside then it would be nice to have it. Overall; I must say this car is a good purchase for your money."

Volkswagen IQ.Drive
A comprehensive bundle of safety and driver-aid technologies, it includes forward collision warning and mitigation, lane-centering assist, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more. It also provides a semi-autonomous driver-assistance system that can accelerate, steer, and brake the Jetta in certain conditions while the driver keeps their hands on the wheel. IQ.Drive is available in the base S and SE trims, and standard in all other Jetta models with an automatic transmission.
Blind-spot monitoring
Using radar sensors embedded in the corners of the rear bumper, this system warns of traffic approaching your flanks. In models equipped with IQ.Drive, it also uses steering assist to help prevent you from switching into an already occupied lane.
Rear cross-traffic alert
Using radar sensors in the rear bumper, this technology can sound an audible warning to alert you when it detects vehicles crossing your path when reversing. Jetta models equipped with IQ.Drive can also automatically apply the brakes in such situations.
