The 2020 Volkswagen Jetta is a good car -- but people want SUVs now. Today I'm reviewing the new Jetta, and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the latest Jetta. I'm also driving the 2020 Jetta SEL Premium to show you what it's like on the road.

No, but our elevation is 243 feet above sea level 😂
Is that a glock in your pants? No officer I’m just happy to see you
Cory V Very true haha.
I feel sorry for the owner who has to sanitized every single surface after Doug had touched everything
I'm glad Doug is doing cars regular folks can afford now
He is reviewing cars on a budget xd
It's a volks-wagen
You should watch savagegesse's reviews. He does a lot of great, in-depth reviews of affordable cars
@@shravdoesstuff Except Škoda and SEAT is more volks than Volkswagen. It's really a shame those brands doesn't have a market in North America.

THIS is a Mitsubishi Hugeify, and it wasn built during communist rule in East Germany.
I love how here in the US "compact" means fullass sedan lol
Haha we love our big cars
Facts. The Jetta is barely smaller then the passat anymore but counts as "compact". Actual small cars in the US are "subcompact".
Dang, what are y'all driving where you're at, clown cars?
Me: daily drives a Volkswagen Up
Doug: this 4.6 meter long car is compact
@@soft6418 My Cruze is 4.597m (3mm away from being 4.6m), but most reviewers refer it as a compact...

Can we vote on that?
Hey Doug, as someone who used to pump gas in NJ, you're missing a lot of quirks by not opening fuel doors.
YES, this one is the quirkiest VW fuel door! I was surprised the day I got mine that it was a switch in the door! Also, it's so good on gas that I...forgot about that one day. LOL
I rented this car from enterprise and it was impressive. This thing gets really good gas mileage and has decent passing power. On a full tank I got from OC to Sacramento and still have about 120 miles left to spare.
I rented a Fiat and felt the same about it. Wouldn't buy one though.
What is OC?

It reminds me of a lady who I talked to from FCA who she told me she got a fiat 500, and though it was bad until she tried it then really liked it. I think if you get a top trim even if it’s a so called cheap car it’s nice to drive. Mostly what you are buying is the nicer materials and engine.
Funny how a "compact" car is the size of a old 5 series 😂
Back then compact is... compact, now a "compact" car is a pretty huge car
Right lol
For murica standards, "compact" mean bigger than mostly cars in other countries.
Theys like a new class smaller than sub compacts and compact cars.
Almost kei car size
My 2002 530i e39 is definitely way smaller than this lmao
I love jettas. I have a 2019 and it’s gorgeous. I love the exterior and interior. As far as everyday cars go, the Jetta is surely one of the better looking cars on the road.
I'm looking at a 2019 in black this week! I'm not a huge fan of the way the back looks, I prefer more of a sleek rounded back, but I really do think it's absolutely beautiful and I pray I like it in person
I got a 2018 Jetta SE TSI in black w/only 19,500 on it Feb 2021. Already has Sirius radio in it. Ready to enjoy the warm weather. Has a sunroof and light beige leatherette seats.
It is not ugly but i think that mine car looks better : white bmw F31 and sedan model if i had one also ...it is just as everyday car as that Jetta

The traffic markets aren’t dictated by VW - that’s related to the info available through Sirius XM for traffic info overlay on the navigation.
One thing I might add. Always have your vw serviced by vw. Not uncle Frankie who will screw it all up. Cause he does not know what he is doing. Vw will do the job correctly and use the right parts and fluids. Cheaper in the long run.
What if uncle frankie was an ex vw tech who grew a conscience and got fed up with the corporate scam stealership experience and started his own shop?
Thats terrible advice. You're paying extra for the same service. Also vw and longrun dont go together
Excellent advice. I bought a vw Jetta turbo in college that was maintained by a shade tree mechanic. I know this because the things we found when correcting his errors. It was the most costly car to get right after he screwed it up. Get it dealer serviced or use a euro specialized mechanic or it will cost you a ton more in the long run.
Lol uncle frankie will fuck it up, then people will blame VW reliability 😂
Awful advice. Car maintenance/repair is not some magic art. It's nuts and bolts. If you go to a poor independent mechanic, you will get poor work. Same is true of dealerships except they charge drastically more. Don't you think dealership mechanics ever get fired for poor work? I have known several. One was a meth addict. I don't think that I would have trusted his work.
Just last month I had a Toyota tech swear up and down to me over his mother's grave that the 4.7 in the Tundra has a timing chain and not a belt. He's wrong. I even know that and I don't make a living wrenching on Toyotas.
The ability to highlight almost anything on that center screen (i.e. oil temp) is actually a really cool idea when you think about it when it comes time to troubleshooting problems on your vehicle down the road.

I bought the 2019 manual transmission version of this car. It's fantastic, here is why;
1. Fuel economy is on he highway is close to 50MPG and always better than 40mpg even if you are going 80+. So the Jetta gets as good or better mpg than the most miserly of econo boxes. The city miles are very good also but I can't give a number.
2. The base model comes with everything necessary including Apple Car Play and Android Auto. The only possible exception might be heated seats.
3. The steering, ride, braking are all very good. It's not a sports car but is still a nice driving and riding car. Some of the Japanese or Korean offerings in the price range are dead feeling
4. The base model can be had for $16,000 - $16,500 plus tax, title, license. Other choices in that range are not as nice.
5. Nice Warranty. 6 years, 72,000miles
My only complaint is that there is no off throttle deceleration. When you release the throttle or when down shifting there is no resulting deceleration of the car. It feels like something in the induction prevents vacuum; possibly as an anti pollution strategy to prevent crank case gas from pulling up past the rings? Maybe because the engine displacement is so small that there just is not much to off set the weight of the car? People with automatic transmission cars would never notice. Manual transmission cars can be hard to find but in my view, worth it
I just ordered one and I'm excited to get it, however because of the semiconductor shortage, my ticket price in 2021 was $21,000 with about 24k miles. Car prices are crazy right now.
It actually does have vents in the back, but they are under the back seats. This one is underrated!

Just got this a week ago and absolutely love it so far. I was originally going for Accord/Civic but the mileage on the Jetta and overall features you get for roughly the same price as Toyota/Honda comparables sold me on it.
Honda and Toyota have always made good cars but the Germans have still kept their game.
You will never go wrong with a VW.
You also have the option of going for a Skoda, a bit cheaper but it has an unbelievable price/quality report.
I have the GLI - amazing car for the money. Fast, quiet, well equipped and rock solid on the road. The best of the Jetta lineup!
How’s the reliability/maintenance? I’m in the market for one.
@@adenbaksh4843 what are you looking for in a car? they're nice but if you want sporty handling you'll want something RWD / RWD-biased, i.e. Lexus IS, BMW 3 Series, Genesis G70, Audi A4

Jetta isn't even sold in my country, and yet here I am.
Maybe it's because it's the disel gate of VW. Company has lost all credibility.
Yashasvi Goel what country doesn’t sell the Jetta?
I average about 45mpg on the highway in my 2020 Jetta. It's a great, comfortable, practical, efficient car.

I just got a Jetta recently. First VW I've ever owned. Really liking it so far. Went with the SE because the one I found had the cold weather package and the upper trims I kept finding for decent prices didn't have that. I'll take a remote start and heated rear seats over some digital gauges and mood lighting any day!
Looking at one now. Hows it treating you and how many miles you got on it?
I loved my 2013 Jetta 2.5 SE & now my 2019 Jetta SEL premium 🥰
“I wonder which is my next tur-“
Jetta: *PLEASE ACTIVATE START/STOP SYSTEM*
After seeing your video I went out test drove a Jetta and I just bought one I really like it.
I had a 2012 base Jetta and traded it in about 3 weeks ago for a 2020 SEL, I really like it. The cockpit is so nice, weird they crapped on the Passat's digital section.
In Russia we also get the Jetta, but I chose the Passat because the EU Passat is so good.
@@slantblant1 how do you like the 1.4 turbo every car iv driven so far has had a 2.0 and im wondering if its just rly boring and slow to drive
@@cheesecurdinator4010 Compared to what I was driving before, it has some get up. Night time driving is just a nice feeling with the ambient lights and the cockpit. I normally drive in eco mode, sport mode every once in a while. It rides well, and the lane assist is really good for this class of car.
@@slantblant1 thanks, im probably gonna go take a look at one once I get home from vacation. Iv always wanted a car with a sunroof and heated seats lmao and it just seems like there are rly good deals goin on rn for the jettas
I have a 2019 Jetta SE got it for 16k and I love it. Great fuel mileage and just a great car all around. Kind of looks like an Audi as well which I like.
Same here. I love my 2019 Jetta! The Jetta does share the same platform as the Audi A3. However if you want the feel for the Audi A3 in a Jetta, the GLI model has the same 228hp 2.0t engine from the Audi A3 with the S-Line package. The difference is the price. The Jetta GLI is $10k less than the Audi A3 2.0t S-Line.
Hi Doug.I used to have a two door jetta Mk1.The guy that I bought it from had done a ton of restoration work so it had a rebuilt engine and transmission and had been refinished with a metallic blue paint job.My ex-wife and I loved that little car because it was so practical yet it had just enough modifications to make it fun to zip around in.I think that VW should remember why people used to like them so much and try to make the new ones in a way that they are practical yet fun to drive.
He forgot the remote start from your phone the wireless phone charger the interior lights that change color and keyless lock and unlock
Better talk about icons on the inside of the box of the manual.
And you forgot that commas exist.
so basically everything that every car has atm fully loaded ? besides the phone remote start is dumb if you have remote start on your key

Agreed, our Santa Fe (which is made in America, unlike other Hyundai cars) has Hyundai Bluelink which has similar functions to the aforementioned remote start.

"Compact Car" Lol what?

Of course this thing is "roomy" and "big", it's a mid-size, and almost 150kg heavier.
Nobody looking for compact car will consider this car.
Yeah this car us huge for a city standards, parking would be a mess with it
Yea it seems its just replacing the Passat in vw lineup.
Sedans are getting bigger and VW markets it as a compact car
DerWaschbar2 Maybe in America, but in the rest of the world the Passat is still the top range VW sedan (apart from the Arteon in some countries)
He says it was ONCE a compact car, and that is certainly its genus - it was just a Golf/Rabbit platform with a trunk attached. It had features and amenities of a midsize sedan in a more "compact" size.
Back in the day, the used compact car you wanted was a clean Jetta or Accord. Both have bloated since.

Well, I was interested in the Jetta! I bought one the other day, and even though I have only had it for a few days, I love it! For a 147 horse power engine, it has enough power ( I was doing 72 mph on the freeway without it realizing it ). I bought the SEL trim, and I like it for the CD player, sunroof, gas mileage, Beats Audio, satelite radio and how it handles. And I found one in red!🚗 I am loving it! Hope that I don't get in a road rage so I don't get laughed at!

I just wanna see him review an Element. No idea why, just wanna see it
I financed a 2013 2.5 SE in January. I love it. But I have to agree, there's a modded 4th gen that drives into my work every now and then with the bigger rims and thinner tires, that silverish grey paint, and I love the style. It really seems compact. I don't like the rear lights on mine. Also, it has an electric seatback recline control but still has the little lever for sliding your seat back and forth. And I should mention that while there are no vents for the rear on the console, it's highly likely as with most non-luxury cars that the vents are underneath the front seats, just no control. I found it quite interesting that instead of air vents on the back of the center console, I found one pair of buttons: lock and unlock, to lock and unlock the car.
My Jetta 2014/15 has better legroom in the backseat and a bigger trunk than my previous Passat 2003 had. I LOVE IT!
Besides the fugly rims, I think it's actually a pretty sweet car.
Jettas are a bank breaker
I had a 2019 for exactly 1 year. That's how long I was able to put up with it. It has no power and the extra features don't really make up for it. For $28k, you could pick up last year's GTI fully loaded instead of this thing. A $28k car this basic has no place in the market, IMO
This generation of Jetta is too slab-sided, and it doesn't handle as well as the Golf/GTI

I have a 2016 gli, and it's great. Even though it's the previous gen, I think it still looks really nice. Good performance, great tech, some safety features, great audio, and a good amount of room. The only problem is that the clutch is quite long, and I'm short, so I have to sit really close to the steering wheel.
My dad drove the very first model back then. I bought my jetta (build in 2006) because of him and I love that car. As soon as I'm not broke anymore I'll go for the newer version 😍
I have this as a rental car right now and I'm pleasantly surprised on how good it is. Comfortable, good looking and a really good sound system. The SE I'm in is pretty slow, but it handles the bends beautifully
I have the 2015 Jetta with the 1.8T and it’s so much better than that 1.4 they put in all the models. It sucks because I would upgrade to another Jetta but I’d have to get the gli since all the other models are basically grandma cars.
"My knees have no problems. My head has no problems"
*head hits the ceiling*
2002 Jetta 5-speed was like my most favorite car. Moment it hit 110k miles it seemed like everything was going to break.
That i have respect for. But anyone nowadays buying a new car with 147 hp fuuuuuuck that's a retarded purchase. A used Jetta i get it. But if you focus on buying a new, incredibly weak Jetta with the full cost ...that it pathetic imo.
I just finished a 188 mile loop, 50 miles was boulevard/highway with 40-55 speed limits, the rest was interstate highway 60-75 speed limit, I averaged 47 mpg for the whole loop, with average of 55 mph for the whole trip, most of the highway driving was 68-72 mph, sometimes as high as 78 though, with adaptive cruise control on most of the time... 63 degrees, lots of fog and 10 minutes of drizzle, zero traffic, I did this between 2 and 5 in the morning... this was done with an 8 speed Auto, 2019 Jetta SEL with 98,000 miles on it, this car I rented from Turo. Denton, Texas area to Oklahoma border and back, flat roads. I may have to buy an SEL Premium or the GLI.
It would be interesting if Doug did a GLI review.
7:44 I see they still haven’t fixed the rotating power logo volume knob
My ocd kicks into high gear every time I look at the knob in mine. When I shut down the radio I always straightin it upright. 🤣
A pro tip
I never use it and use the one on the steering wheel, so I always keep it upright....
Enjoy....
My sister has a Jetta and the volume knob maddens me!!
Yes same on my dads Leon Cupra 😂
I bought a 2019 base model Jetta it's a fantastic car it drives great smooth quiet fantastic gas mileage and what was really nice is that alloy wheels for standard there's tons of safety features the quality and interior is better than the competition
Damn this dude is thorough I've been driving vw/audi for 13 years and learned something today .
Legends say his _THISSS_ is still growing
You're probably right about thhhiiiiss!
I have a compilation of his this made and ohh lord hahaha love it
doug: makes fun of the jetta's horn
me: *laughs in 2006 honda civic*
elle yo do they all sound wonky ? I though just mine
@@hudsonrylee I used to drive a 2012 Honda Fit. Gawd, that horn was not very loud. At least my 2016 Scion iM has a decently loud horn.
i'd love to see his reaction to my volvo 240 lol
@@hudsonrylee really mine sounds fine i guess its not oem for me
@@Sacto1654 dont even know what my horn sounds like ... lol
6:50 Humorous?! Doug you just sold me the damn car! I have been dreaming of a Configurable digital cluster since I was old enough to shift gears for my parents! Sweet! Finally!
I have a 2019 Jetta S model. To me the big selling point was the 8 speed automatic xmission, not the horrible CVT in the Honda Civic I traded in.
Doug never reviews the cars audio. How loud the stereo is or how it sounds, or if it has good bass. This is important.
Agreed. For me the audio is one of the most relevant aspects of any car.
I agree!
Savage geese is more thorough. He should take some notes from that channel. People will say he ripped them off but in the long run I think it’ll only help.
I have this car and LET ME TELL YOU THE BASS IS GOOD!! you can adjust it and turn it up and it’s soooooooo nice
The stereo in the Jetta is extremely loud via Bluetooth. I never dare to go above 1/3 volume unless I want to deafen myself. It has really really really good bass, probably the best I’ve ever heard from a stock stereo. It does sound a little flat, and the bass tends to suppress the mids a bit.
"...so they make it a little larger for.... USA buyer's taste"
Yes yes, buyer's taste :)
for... US buyers' asses
They like the taste of fat food, it makes perfect sense.
In 2020 it is good to see so many lame unoriginal RUclips comments straight out of 2006!
Tell me about it. Americans are just so damn tall compared to everyone else!
Sawashi32 in 2020 it’s so great to see so many triggered butt hurt Americans born in 2006
I bought a Jetta last week. Of course I bought a used 2004 Jetta Wagon TDI from just before the Dieselgate, but I'm very happy so far!
My 2021 Jetta is perfect for me as a daily. I did a few upgrades and a tune on the 1.4, and she can scoot when needed. Also love the sounds from the intake and exhaust. The automatic transmission is the real limiting factor. It's not as responsive as it should be. But none the less, I love my Jetta.
"Nice little car". It's so funny, because here in Argentina this is one of the "premium" and expensive cars many people aspire to have.
matyax, LOL. Jetta is a piece of junk. This is lower end cheap car with a lot of transmission issue and GDI turbo engine problem. Reliability is a big issue.
True
Obvio pa el nuevo Bora 1.8t roja de los cabezas, así tmb nos va
Actually this is sad, here in Brazil is this same concept.
@@sungshin393 I ended up with a 2019 Fusion with 2.0 turbo engine, and that was the best I could get for the money (I was looking for a "premium" car with a decent engine). This was for around 35k.
When doug starts playing peek a boo with the infotainment system
I have a 2020 Jetta S with the manual gearbox. I'm 16 and I absolutely LOVE this car
Doug please test a GLI Autobahn 6 Speed... Its the exact opposite of the 1.4T Jetta. You will love it.
C'mon Doug you know we're mostly nerds here, those graphs need more numbers on them
Yeah exactly!
I was just thinking that too lol
When I saw the graphs, it didn't look complete. Where's the timeline?
i drive a base model 2019 jetta and can agree very underrated car, i love it
I rented one-- Nice car.
Me too. I only bought it for the gas mileage but it has really grown on me.
Jetta was cool but ended up in a Mazda 3, Mazda 3 was way more sporty, Jetta is more understated and rides a bit nicer.
I just ordered one with a 6 speed and I'll be getting it next week! 🙂
@@blueleaftuber congrats !
I went from a 2014 Kia Forte to a 2020 Jetta GLI and I have to say... Getting that 2.0 TSI in that engine bay really makes a difference. Super fun and has all the tech when you grab the Autobahn. VW did a great job on the styling and roomy interior. I love it.
I have a 2014 Jetta TDI Premium, and I love it. Yes, it gets a couple of miles per gallon less after the reprogramming after the TDI issue (which was not just VW, it was literally every diesel vehicle manufacturer, VW just made the most vehicles, so they got the most attention), but it's still getting 45 MPG real world and feels *very* zippy.
I see a few of them in Seattle. The taillights remind me of a Skoda. I like that
The stupid headlights make me think a cop is tailgating me all the time.
VW acquired control of Škoda in 1994, of Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti in 1998, Scania in 2008 and of Ducati, MAN and Porsche in 2012.
Well, VW owns Skoda
Skoda used to make some unique looking unreliable cars
