- This is my "saabkyle04 style" review of this 2012 VW Jetta that we rented today. It has the 2.5L inline 5 cylinder paired to VW's 6 speed automatic transmission. Very impressed with this car, just a great car overall!
Приколы
It has very nice VINYL interior, or as VW calls it, "leatherette". When a say nice, I mean nice. This is not the vinyl seats that were your mom and dads 1978 Chevy Monte Carlo. It looks and feels a lot like leather. The biggest difference is that it wears a lot better than leather. As long as you have heated seats, there isn't much to complain about. It doesn't seem to hear up and boil your skin off, like the old vinyl did either.
I like the MKV gen better but honestly this is still a great car! You'll have no problems on your road trip in it too we've taken ours on tons of trips its actually going to DC for a wedding tomorrow!
When the jetta is in regular D (drive) mode, the six gears are tuned for excellent fuel consumption (23-25 city 30-35 hwy). When you put the car in either the digital manual control or the sport automatic (both still 6 speed modes), the response is much much better. I have this jetta (with convenience package) and my brother has a 2006 nissan altima...When I put this baby in sport mode, I leave him in the dust. The 2.5 liter 5 cylinder engine puts out about 200 hp at 5500 rpm.
I just had a spin with the exact same model. The interior looks a bit blank, but you could see it's well designed and put together, and it gets the job done, especially the small details. The throttle and brake feels a bit "sticky" (not sure if it's the right word), you gotta press them down a bit further in to see the effect. The steering wheel is a bit toward the heavy side, but I like it, it feels sturdy and make the driver feel confident. I'm gonna buy one of these, really nice car overall.
Yea i'll definitely have a vid of that comming! I tried it already and it sounds very nice!
For a jetta, the sport mode is pretty wicked. Just got this exact same car 3 days ago.
No way! I'm about to buy one! Do you recommend ?
Nice! Thats one of my dream road trips! And yea we do too, we like to go to different places all the time
I have the same color, but fully loaded. I had 900 miles on it new. Now it's at 141,000 miles and counting. All I had to do was regular oil changes and transmission fuild change. Then replace the pcv diaphragm. It's still running strong.
Very nice!
Yea ive read about how VW lowered the quality a bit just to be more competitive with the rest of the market. I really like the car though, I now see why you and other people like VW so much! We hope we dont have any problems with it :)
many cars are assembled there, that doesnt make them crap. It actually is a pretty nice car and even though the interior has cheapened out from the previous generations it still very solid and well put together
Thanks man! haha that sounds like fun! I live in Texas so the west coast isnt too far for me :D Next year we are going to New York!
Well congrats on the new car! I believe the 2013 received some interior upgrades
YES! thanks for mentioning it! I have an update on this car that i didnt upload becuase im not sure if i like it lol but I noticed that the first time I drove it. It's like you press it and it has like a 1 second delay for the car to react. I felt it because in my moms altima you just barely touch the gas and it goes. But after the little delay it drives normally!
Great review thanks I'm getting that one next week ... I have a question, when I test drove it the gas throttle response was very odd. It would accelerate only when almost hammered down. Same.with this car?
great review! Even though I like the Mk5 better, I still give credit to the Mk6!
Nice!!
Same here! I love the way this car looks but it'd be even better if the quality was on par with the last one
Well a friend of mine that lives in MO she just got a bread new Volkswagen Jetta yesterday!
Trust me you won't have any! Any chance you could make an audio system demo? I wanna see how it stacks up to mine!
Thanks! I've been curious because I think its 8 when the old one was 10. Sometimes less is more so I really wanna hear it :D
Np. It's on the to-do list! :)
Interior and drivetrain of the old Jetta but the exterior of the new Jetta= perfect Jetta lol
Nice this car looks so big and that lock button on the back is a little awkward :/ but great review keep it up
I like the look of this car better than the previous car, but I really wish they hadn't lowered the interior quality!
oh ok, i was hoping it didnt do that but i think ill get used to it. please upload the update !! i would like to hear what else you have to say about this car
Thanks man! Yea they lowered the quality a bit but it's still a very nice car!
Haha yea I noticed that wayyy after I did this vid. I was checking out this car at the same time I recorded and when i felt it it felt soft touch. It is hard plastic but it is a very nice feeling plastic! I dont think it's bad at all, it's a nice car but the last gen was def better!
Even in Sport mode I felt the Accelerations was still a bit lackluster. It wasnt bad but it wasnt as fast as I'd imagine it'd be.
Lol to me it doesnt look that big because im used to my mom's larger Altima :p but yea i was surprised to see that lock button in such an odd place lol I wouldnt wanna have little kids in the back seat playing with it.. And thanks man!
I just got the same car in red but the steering wheel has phone and volume controls
Is it turbo?
Well like one of my negihbors they 20 year old girl she got a new 2013 Volkswagen S so it has the old 2.0 Inline 4 engine from the 90,s and early 2000,s Jettas and Bettles with 115 HP and 125 PFOT in black she loves it i see her drive it arould
What is the function of the buttons in the ceiling?
programmable to open garage door remotely
Agreed. Many cars are made in Mexico, I dont see the problem with that
Hi! Does it have Bluetooth? Or an aux?
Or any place to play your own music from your phone?
these cars lightly used (2-3 years old fewer than 50k miles) are relatively cheap I test drove a 2012 vw jetta 2.5 with 46k miles a few days ago thry were only asking 9500 for it
Yeah this thing has the same engine and the same radio that on my sister 2012 Volkswagen Bettle
Yea you get used to it trust me. I only had it for 2 weeks and i was used to it already, granted i did drive it a couple thousand miles in those 2 weeks. And okay, ill see. I still have to edit it so maybe in a few days, so make sure you subscribe or you can go to my fb page and i might give my final opinion on it there lol
Is this car a turbo?
Gunnar Jacobsen No, but the later models are available with VW’s “TSI”
Guys feeling PLASTIC talkin bout SOFT TOUCH SOFT TOUCH but i had one of these cars sweet car poor man audi def
Is this a GTI?
it's not fake leather
Lol that would be perfect
Don't like that? Buy a wolfsburg edition made in Germany then. Or if you're one of those "BUY AMERRRRICAN" people don't buy one at all :)
The dashboard is not soft touch... This interior is cheap compared to the Golf/GTI... I'm sorry but I hate this current generation Jetta lol
