His reviews are good, but they are better for learning about the features than learning about the pros/cons. Kyle's not much of a critical reviewer. Not a bad thing, but I like to hear the bad side of each car along with the good, especially if it's something I'm thinking of buying.
Yes he is really good on his reviews and you can tell that he is serious about the work he puts out because he does tons of research and it shows in his videos!!
VW: You get Full LED headlights in our $20,000 Jetta! Also VW but with Audi Badge: Just be glad you're getting Xenon headlights on our $35,000 'Premium' A3. Peasant.
They need to nickel and dime you on every premium car. That’s where they really take in their profits. Most German luxury cars have optional features ($350 for Apple CarPlay) which seem ridiculous compared to competitors like Acura and Lincoln which give you most features you would expect in a premium vehicle standard.
Man, that horn sounds cheap! C'mon, VW -- the Mk1 through Mk5 Jettas all had proper dual-tone trumpet horns. The Mk6 Jetta only has a single-tone horn, but it still sounds better than the wimpy Roadrunner "meep meep" horn in this thing!
All the VW in Europe and Australia have dual tone horns, even MK6 Jetta. VW USA Sucks! You also get stupid red turn signals (which use the brake lights) in the rear instead of the beautiful amber ones. yuk
The new Volkswagen Jetta is a very nice car. It was pretty much time for Volkswagen to introduce the Jetta MK7 because the MK6 has been out since 2011. My Mom used to drive a MK3 and a MK2. My mom had a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta which had a black exterior which kept until I was 1 years old back in 2004. When she had traded in the Jetta that’s when she got her 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Before she had her 97 Jetta she had a 92 Jetta that also had a black exterior. She had her first Jetta years before I was born.
I for one am actually a huge fan of the new Jetta’s design, and as said in the review, it it one of the better looking in the segment. The only two aspects I don’t care for are the taillights and the exhaust. The taillights are more or less a nitpick thing on my part (they look like they came off of a Hyundai Sonata). However, I believe everyone can agree on this point, car manufacturers need to quit with the trend of fake exhaust tips, it makes them look cheap and lazily designed. If they could get rid of the one strip of the taillights that sticks out from the main assembly and give the car actual exhaust tips like the MK6 had, then this Jetta would look perfect in my opinion.
American Guy 64 I like those too, the one Jeep an Dodge have is perfect! I have the VW mk4 and the horn sounds like it's coming from a bigger car... That's a lil' details I appreciate
American Guy 64 before the my Jetta, i had an 97' XLT Ford Explorer... Loved tht car (including the horn) but I needed a more stable car in the highway and better gas mileage so I sold it 😔
vw very designer like, doesnt has personality design like toyota or honda. but has a very industrial / official like design. can never feel outdated / bored
Wow what a nice affordable yet loaded car im honest this is a great all around car based only on your review , good information but entertaining as well nice styling too and led headlights come standard ?! Wow 😮
Say how does one like myself become a car reviewer. I really enjoy talking about the new vehicles that come out and enjoy just the craftsmanship of these machines. I’ve been thinking about it lately about becoming a car reviewer but I do not know where to start or if I would be good at it. If anyone can give me some advice that would be great.
Yeah, I was surprised about that myself. It drove well enough that I didn't even think about it. I wish I had thought to ask someone about that at the media launch to find out what was the deciding factor behind it.
the issue is that a torsion beam is not more comfortable. It requires you to either use a tighter suspension to get the same handling as an IRS or loosen it up and sacrifice handling. A fully independent setup doesn't require you to make that trade-off and often ends up with a more comfortable ride. The only reason volkswagen switched it is because its cheaper. They issue is that its competitors like the Focus and Civic both have IRS's and are comparable in price. They also don't have awful german car reliability.
I really wish they(not just VW) would move the wiper control stick to the left like on a Ford Truck. It's not fun when banging through gears or simply changing the radio station to have your windshield get scuffed up on a dry day.
Like our current Jetta but this one looks great. Never know why you race the engine for sound on anything other than a muscle or sports car. A good review.
Great Review Kyle, As always. By the way, how's the 240 going? As I said in Sofyan Beys' review of the 19 Jetta. I'm slightly disappointed in the engine. However I will play a wait and see game. Even though I saw this car at NYIAS on Saturday, obviously I couldn't drive it. Have to agree with others here the horn sounds a little strange coming from a car like that. Considering the MK6 horn was a little more "American" I guess you could say. It actually sound a lot like the horn in my 74 Beetle. My 2017 Jetta GLI has to go for service soon, so I hope they have one. I might be able to let the salesmen who sold me my car. let. me drive one, just to humor myself.
Can't believe this car is tops on my list right now to trade the Z in for. I wish I could afford better, but this has everything I'm desiring in a car (electronic safety/toys), mpg, and cheap price vs. other things that I want that end up being $600/mo or more. Just wish the front turn signals were LED as well, or the LED DRL's were also used as turn signals, and LED fogs. Definitely a plain-Jane type of car.
Thinking about getting one, My buddy was telling me bad idea with all the recalls and other electrical problems. Do you have any extra opinions on this? I’m either going for this or a 2019 Camry XSE
Volkwagen replaced the independent rear suspension with a crappy torsion beam this year. Both the ford Focus and Civic have independent rear suspensions for less money. The amber lenses on the back looks really cheap and dated as well. They should have used a clear lens with yellow LEDs instead.
I expected this to have better horn than that especially for the looks, but you get a Civic horn...Should've kept the horn from the last gen, Volkswagen. Sounded miles better than this. Other than that, nice car!
Tehgziz Lauw not really, a4 and a3 have the glis motor and awd, the car is much faster and performance is much better. This car is not sporty, my son has the 2017 1.4t and it could use this interior but even after his stage 1+ tune he's just a bit slower than a gli or and audi a3/a4. The s4/s5 are useless because the Kia stinger exists.
Nice Car, But I Don't like the Fact that there is a Timing Belt on the Engine and not a Chain.(to save money on design) The Belts designs were used in the early 2000s. In a Hot climate like Mine the belt will fail Early.
The rear seats have no vents, no heated seats, no usb or power, no map pockets for drivers side and the materials are all plastic..really sucks that they had to cut corners for rear passengers even in the top of line trim..sad
I’m from Germany and the videos are helping me to practice my English skills. This is the best way for me 👌🏼
Glad this is helping you! :)
bin auch von Deutschland lol
German is das haben Sie die Telefonnummer that’s german
Good job! I was born is Sweden! Also a European country !
Best Reviewer On RUclips, If You Don't Agree You're Not Serious.
definitely! I've been watching him for five years now.
Thank you my friend!

Yes he is really good on his reviews and you can tell that he is serious about the work he puts out because he does tons of research and it shows in his videos!!
That’s all of his videos. He’s just perfect.
I love it they stepped up the interior big time from the previous generation. Those 2 screens are the best in it's class.
Oh yeah, they're really sweet!
Good video. The thing that is shocking to me is how loaded this vehicle has become! That car has some effort shown. Thank you for the review.
VW: You get Full LED headlights in our $20,000 Jetta!

Roymer Perez well a Corolla comes standard with LED headlights yet a 3 series bmw doesn't lol

gedaman You don’t have to play extra for Apple CarPlay because it comes on every VW no matter what trim line.
This is THE ORIGINAL car channel on RUclips 👌🏾
Man, that horn sounds cheap! C'mon, VW -- the Mk1 through Mk5 Jettas all had proper dual-tone trumpet horns. The Mk6 Jetta only has a single-tone horn, but it still sounds better than the wimpy Roadrunner "meep meep" horn in this thing!
VWestlife that's what I say ,my mk 4 Jetta has way better horns than that
VWestlife Fancy seeing you here! Gotta get UXWBill to show up too and then it's a party!
I can’t believe it
All the VW in Europe and Australia have dual tone horns, even MK6 Jetta. VW USA Sucks! You also get stupid red turn signals (which use the brake lights) in the rear instead of the beautiful amber ones. yuk
The mk6 GLI has the dual trumpet, the others have the same wimpy horn
The new Volkswagen Jetta is a very nice car. It was pretty much time for Volkswagen to introduce the Jetta MK7 because the MK6 has been out since 2011. My Mom used to drive a MK3 and a MK2.

Vw are you serious about the horn
that crappy horn its a deal breaker for me!
jesse g dumb af
Adrian Marcel that’s german engineering
Lol my dads vw amarok has a horn completely different to it
Hahaa I have this car... I try to avoid honking my horn😒
The car grew but they took away the nice horn! Now the horn sounds like a hyundai accent :'(
367arnaldo I honestly never liked the horn of the Jettas. I prefer the horns of the American cars
367arnaldo my sister has a 2017 Jetta and it has that horn you are talking about.
American Guy 64
I like those too, the one Jeep an Dodge have is perfect! I have the VW mk4 and the horn sounds like it's coming from a bigger car... That's a lil' details I appreciate
367arnaldo I have a 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and a 96 Bronco, both of them have the loudest horns I’ve ever heard on any vehicles
American Guy 64 before the my Jetta, i had an 97' XLT Ford Explorer... Loved tht car (including the horn) but I needed a more stable car in the highway and better gas mileage so I sold it 😔
vw very designer like, doesnt has personality design like toyota or honda. but has a very industrial / official like design. can never feel outdated / bored
Lol Toyota is exciting?
That's how vw/audi has always been. Their cars don't age.
Kyle is rocking those Vans sneakers.
That horn is a dealbreaker.
You should review plymouth fury aka Christine
Dave Rodriguez Oh my god, yes! Would love that!
VW could've chose some better wheels they look straight off the civic
A DRANKKK agree
And they took the horn straight off a civic too. Hopefully, they'll keep the dual tone thats on the GLIs.
Agreed
I hate those stupid wheels
All the other trims have MUCH better snowflake wheels. Only the top trim has these ugly wheels. The vast majority has nice wheels
I watched you for about 2 years THANKS FOR A 2019 CAR KYLE YESS!!!
Good outside, nice inside. A good option to buy, nice video Kyle.
Oh god that chime would drive me nuts
Notice I had to turn down the audio for that clip! If I were to give a legitimate complaint, it would be that chime lol.
Just get someone with vagcom to turn it off. Vw's are retardedly tunable
I sat in one at the 2018 Denver Auto show. It was a basic Jetta. Very nice, as one could do without the extra bells or whistles.
Spectacular video as usual...
That Jetta is so cool! I like this car so much!
Good job!
Wow what a nice affordable yet loaded car im honest this is a great all around car based only on your review , good information but entertaining as well nice styling too and led headlights come standard ?! Wow 😮
The All-New Jetta "Betta Getta Jetta."
Great review. I've actually used your input before purchasing a few cars
Very excited to see what they have in store for the GLI!
Love seeing Durham on the map. Makes my soul happy!
Oh yeah! It was the first media event that I could actually drive to!
Thank you for making this new video and what are you waiting for make more please
Love this Channel! Keep it up
Awesome video on the new Jetta. When you rev the engine, it sounds exactly like a vacuum cleaner.
I love how even in the SEL Premium they still put in that crappy piezo horn vs a nice dual horn
Say how does one like myself become a car reviewer. I really enjoy talking about the new vehicles that come out and enjoy just the craftsmanship of these machines. I’ve been thinking about it lately about becoming a car reviewer but I do not know where to start or if I would be good at it. If anyone can give me some advice that would be great.
Hey great video but you don’t have the Interior Features time stamped
The most reliable mid size car next to the Fusion and Camry! I also see that Ford and Volkswagen share the SEL premium trims.
The suspension killed it for me
Yeah, I was surprised about that myself. It drove well enough that I didn't even think about it. I wish I had thought to ask someone about that at the media launch to find out what was the deciding factor behind it.
Saabkyle04 I'm interested as a Jetta driver myself and thanks for the reply! Huge fan!!
Everything is a trade-off though, right? It will be upgraded in the GLI and that will be the model for the people that care about the suspension.

Like our current Jetta but this one looks great. Never know why you race the engine for sound on anything other than a muscle or sports car. A good review.
The rear beam was used on the mk6 from 2011 to 2013 but from 2014 it was a independent rear suspension
Great Review Kyle, As always. By the way, how's the 240 going?
As I said in Sofyan Beys' review of the 19 Jetta. I'm slightly disappointed in the engine. However I will play a wait and see game. Even though I saw this car at NYIAS on Saturday, obviously I couldn't drive it.

Almost every new crossover and sedan and hatchback look so mundane. I miss all the character that cars used to have...great review as always though!
This guy is alive!!!
They’ve been usin that chime forever
Can't believe this car is tops on my list right now to trade the Z in for. I wish I could afford better, but this has everything I'm desiring in a car (electronic safety/toys), mpg, and cheap price vs. other things that I want that end up being $600/mo or more.
Just wish the front turn signals were LED as well, or the LED DRL's were also used as turn signals, and LED fogs. Definitely a plain-Jane type of car.
Saabkyle you are a god
When are you going to Review the New lincoln navigator and the Mercedes S600 Maybach?
Omg!! That horn sounds like herby from the movies. It’s like it’s made for clowns to drive.
Nice review!
I wish you went back to showing the keyless entry fobs & chimes :/
VW JETTA 2019 is the coolest kyle!
omg that turbo chatter. Love it.
Thinking about getting one, My buddy was telling me bad idea with all the recalls and other electrical problems. Do you have any extra opinions on this? I’m either going for this or a 2019 Camry XSE
excellent review...I own the exact same car...will trade in on 2020 2020 gli though
Wish the exhaust weren't fake😞
yea they the same thing on the bentayga
COOL 2019 Volkswagen Jetta SEL Premium: Start Up, Test Drive & In Depth Review
In my opinion, this has enough features and power and for a good price, better than the Mercedes-Benz E Class.
I want one
I always hated the “manual mode” on Automatic Transmission cars. Just keep everything separate.
ugh that dash is sick!
I hope vw makes a jetta coupe for the gli model
Great review Kyle.
Volkwagen replaced the independent rear suspension with a crappy torsion beam this year. Both the ford Focus and Civic have independent rear suspensions for less money. The amber lenses on the back looks really cheap and dated as well. They should have used a clear lens with yellow LEDs instead.
Nice review. Could you do a review on the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum
is the " man" pedal still an option?
I expected this to have better horn than that especially for the looks, but you get a Civic horn...Should've kept the horn from the last gen, Volkswagen. Sounded miles better than this. Other than that, nice car!
I wanna be just like you when I’m older
whats the point of buying an audi anymore when the jetta is this nice
Tehgziz Lauw power and handling, can't wait for a gli version. Then there will be no reason for an a3
Wedow even an A4 is pointless compared to this, unless you go into the S4/RS4
Tehgziz Lauw not really, a4 and a3 have the glis motor and awd, the car is much faster and performance is much better. This car is not sporty, my son has the 2017 1.4t and it could use this interior but even after his stage 1+ tune he's just a bit slower than a gli or and audi a3/a4. The s4/s5 are useless because the Kia stinger exists.
Tehgziz Lauw I see more Audi than VW 😂
The badge a VW badge means your a mediocre middle class a Audi Badge means your a normal middle class person.
Nice Car, But I Don't like the Fact that there is a Timing Belt on the Engine and not a Chain.(to save money on design) The Belts designs were used in the early 2000s. In a Hot climate like Mine the belt will fail Early.
This review is better than all the others, including redline, so why doesn't this guy get nearly as many hits? Something is wrong.
Could you get your hands on a GTI? I'm very intrested in it as a car for me, and i was wondering if you make a video on it. Thank you!
Nice and detailed review
You know, I’ll consider it...I’ll just buy different rims!
Have you experienced a grinding /rattling sound coming from the engine ? and if so did you get it resolved.
Hey Kyle! Could you possibly do a new BMW X5?
I know it might be straight but
Is that the new Ram Ranger headlights?
Stepped up the interior big time.
It looks like a MK6 and an A4 Quattro had a baby
Keep up good work
When are you reviewing the Velar?!!!
Turbo blow off valve on point 👍
Yeah dude, that was so cool haha
Skoda superb lookalike
I love jetta
Nice review.
This redesign is nice and all, but I miss the times where you could make a Jetta sound like a V10. Like my MK5
Cameron Cruz the legendary 2.5 engine 😭😭😭. Sucks that this is a 1.4t.
I love my 2.5 SE MK6. Even with stock exhaust it sounds amazing.
That's why I'll keep my straight piped mk6 jetta
Great video!!!!!!!
Just pressed the like button
I made it 1k
Would be awesome if you did a review on the new Arteon!
cant wait to see the MK8 GTI
Can somedody tell me where the horn clip is?
Do a review of the 2018 Toyota Camry SE
When’s the 2019 ram review coming out?
Solar it’s on here, 2019 ram 1500 Laramie
1.4L T Enough? They should really offer the 1.8T
lowspeed it would then be an Audi rather than a baby Audi then 😁
The rear seats have no vents, no heated seats, no usb or power, no map pockets for drivers side and the materials are all plastic..really sucks that they had to cut corners for rear passengers even in the top of line trim..sad
VW could’ve added front LED turn signals
Zachary Massimiani i agree
When will Volkswagen bring this car to India ? Eagerly waiting.
greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hey! :D
Is Driver Assistance Package available in all trim level?
I just got this its almost an Audi A3 version.
Can you do a review of the new Honda Civic touring ?
The design is similar to Hyundai but I like the Sonata better
Can you do a review on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL?
Cost cutting on the rear suspension, and it looks like a Ford... I guess diesel gate got to them
