  • Here's a brief video on a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta with 120k miles. This vehicle has been a reliable daily driver for several years, with just a few issues and maintenance items. It still drives well with very few squeaks and rattles, and it's been fuel efficient yet roomy for hauling stuff around. Overall, it's been a great car over the last 8.5 years and 120k miles! Please place any questions or comments related to the video in the section below. I hope you enjoy the video!

    Own a 2015 jetta that I purchased two years ago, first car out of college bought on my own. It currently has 108,000 miles and it runs beautiful. It’s the 1.8 t engine and thankfully I have had nothing go wrong with the vehicle. I’ve done routine oil changes and maintenance always to keep it in great condition. The only thing I have done to it is install a cold air intake. Just for a little more sound when driving. Besides routine oil changes I haven’t had any major issues yet, knock on wood lol. It’s been a great car and I plan to keep it until it implodes.

    I have a ‘09 Jetta 2.5L automatic with
    121k on it and runs great, but it does have one minor oil leak. Had the car since 2012. I believe it will last me for another 4 years before I decide to get something better. I only put around 4500 miles a year on it.

      @yamal Not much in the Jetta. Only during college semesters, I'll put on around 4000-5000. During the summer I'll be put around 250-500. Really our Subaru does most of the heavy lifting now.

    i own a 2012 2.5l jetta with 128k, bought it for $5500 at 107k in Chicago.
    they’re reliable in terms of engine and transmission. In 3 years of owning it ive only had to change the power steering pump which cost me $450 with labor. And numerous headlight LED bulbs, lol. And the Check Engine light keeps coming on and off for the MAF sensor, no matter how many times you replace it. another common issue i hear, unfortunately
    everything else works perfectly and is my daily.

    I drive an '11 Jetta SEL 2.5L. My opinion may be biased on the car because I bought it after it had gotten into a front end collision. The clock springs apparently go bad in these models but its no concern to get it fixed I assume. The biggest repair I had to do was to replace the computer which set me back $1700. Ever since that the major issue is that the heater core is fucked so I don't have heat during the winter but I just put the windows down and my ass suffers driving down to work in the morning. This jetta was reliable enough to get me across the country so I will give it that, but any work that would ever need to get done to the car will typically always set you back a few hundred. Like I said, I'm being biased because the car was in an accident in the past so do your own research.

    I have the same, Black, 5 spd manual and l I have disc brakes all the way around. The "lock nuts" are actually just covers... it stumps a lot of people. There a tool in the jack kit that pulls them out. Despite the cost cuts it's still serving me well. Head lights burned out a lot, swapped them with Sylvania LED's.

What kind of things should I look for when I check it out before buying it? I’m hoping to get 2-3 years out of it before getting something else.

      I’ve had mine for about 3 years now and have done regular maintenance and replaced TONS of expensive parts. One thing to keep in mind is how repairs are expensive since they’re genuine VW parts and sometimes only the dealership can get parts for the repair. My engine just blew out at 123k and I’m replacing it with another 20k used engine. Cars a lemon but known to be “reliable”. If I could turn back time I would have chose another car and saved thousands in repairs and maintenance

      I bought a 2014 Jetta 2.0 with manual transmission about 5 months ago now. I paid 4300$ and the thing is just awesome to drive. Despite the high miles, it just feels like new. The steering wheel starts shaking a little bit when you go between 150-160 kph, it’s very mild and shouldn’t be doing those speeds anyways. Overall, an awesome car, and it also has lots of trunk space!

      In this model of Jetta, the transmission is sourced from Aisin, a subsidiary of Toyota. So, their ATs in this model Jetta are actually really reliable. Previous models were shitty however.
