I picked up a 2023 Sport, I noticed the XDS did help me make a right turn in the wet with less drama. It’s on the MQB platform and rides great. I don’t mind sacrificing handling for a softer ride as a daily in the Midwest (shitty roads). The rear suspension is tuned very well as you mentioned and I find it a good value proposition overall. Yes steering is light, but a quick rack compensates lack of feel. I don’t find brakes touchy, but fuel economy and quiet smooth ride are the biggest pros here.
Off topic bro lol but heading out to get all four of my KUHMO tires put on at my local tire shop will let u know how they feel never forgot your recommendations to one of your viewers on a good quality reasonable tire appreciate u bro 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
Oh yea brother I remember that for sure about a year ago now I said that 👍 Kumho Solus & Nexen are some good new choices on a budget I was really impressed with how quiet they were and how well they gripped let me know your thoughts bro!
@@MeynMotorGroup Ok bro definitely will after a couple weeks I’m in my break in moment with them lol felt a little weird strong in feeling but little weird in the feel compared to my old worn out balled tires 😅🤣 and ima look into the Nexen tires u just mentioned as well Thanx bro for all the advice and all that u do for us car nerds 😂🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
@@theodoreyoung8777 Yea bro Solus & Majesty Solus are def the best for the money. Nexen I only tried for a week on a press car so I don’t know how they wear out but Kumho actually lasts a while and maintains performance pretty well even with some miles 👍
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanx and cool bro always like to get your wisdom on the maintenance of cars as well speaking of maintenance just got a transmission fluid change a couple weeks ago and my car is extra smooth now along with my oil change noticed it soon as I started driving 😎🤝
Yup bro the maintenance is def key it will have your LS430 feeling like butter for many years to come. I remember my old project LS engine felt better and smoother at 211k miles than my newer lower mile LS with 90k miles because it was meticulously maintained 👍
You and I have the same taste I literally was just thinking about buying this car never considered the civic tho my wife wants that German feel you’d rather have the civic than this Jetta? Btw nice wristwatch what you rocking?
It literally has the A3s sunroof part for part. IDE say it’s worth 28 at a base price, and you can get an S base for 21 lol don’t be a clown in the comment section
I’m considering this the SEL Jetta certified vs New Tiguan SE FWD for rideshare. Which one would you suggest? The Jetta is gonna be about 2-3K maybe less expensive.
@@MeynMotorGroup A couple grand, I’m getting a really good deal on the Tiguan. For the Jetta, I found one which I haven’t test driven yet, but its an SEL loaded for 27K. I’ve driven both and I actually prefer the ride on the Jetta, but somewhat prefer the interior of the Tiguan. I do rideshare currently and kind of there’s more pros for the Jetta.
@@ScenicD Jetta is a good car but I would probably go Tiguan since a fully loaded SEL isn’t necessary for ride share. There’s also going to be some better incentives and finance rates I feel with a brand new car but def ask for the full price breakdown
@@MeynMotorGroup It’s gonna be fine it’s got decent legroom and all. The main thing I’m worried about in the Tiguan is the plastics that are rattling inside. I drove 3 different Tiguans back to back they all rattled, where in the Jetta did not.
@@ScenicD Mazda CX5 is an SUV that’s very solid no rattles and dealers are blowing them out at 10% off MSRP worth asking your local Mazda store for a non turbo model
I have a Honda (Civic) and I can’t wait to get rid of it. The road noise is so bad, you couldn’t hear an elephant fart if it was sitting in the back seat. The infotainment system has a mind of its own, the back-up camera sometimes won’t come on and the A/C has had issues since the first day I got it. I test-drove a Jetta this past summer and the differences are clear. It’s quieter and smoother than my Civic. Just has a better overall feel.
I said it before this is an awesome review but you should review older cars again when the chance comes an 8th gen civic review would be cool. Also I am delivery driver I have an Elantra 2018 with 184k miles I am original owner never missed maintenance do you think it can hit 400k miles Thanks Kevin
So I recently moved so I have lost all my dealer connects (it was just 2 dealers) but these dealers don’t really want me around anymore as they are not in a good place and their inventory is dried up so they’re not really in the mood to deal with RUclipsrs. Other problem is used cars are now a terrible buy, most are better off just buying something new with a warranty so I’m currently just doing coverage on the press cars that I get weekly. This market is pretty messed up for buyers right now. Have you seen the Elantra that hit a million miles? Hyundai gave that woman a new Elantra. I think you can get there.
@@MeynMotorGroup I appreciate the quick reply. This is one of my favorite things about the channel is how much you dedicate yourself to your viewers. I have seen the million mile Elantra but mine is pretty much all city miles 🤣. I hope to have it last at least 5 or 6 more years. Honestly I bought too much car for my income but I have one more year left on my loan so I want to keep it for a long time. One day this channel will be so big you will have the income to review any car
@@Aniki1111 oh not a problem my friend you all watching mean everything to me so I try to get back when I can but it’s getting a bit harder now 😅 Oh you can pay it off quick I’m certain it can serve you for a couple more years even with city driving. One thing I like about the Elantra is the simple engine it is port injected only. Start up an eBay store or offer up account and just sell stuff around the house you might be able to pay that bad boy off sooner than you think. A couple of my friends did pretty well with door dash and Uber eats as well. I really appreciate your continued support and kind words on this channel, man I would love to do more stuff that my audience wants if this got to WhistlinDiesel level😅 but that’s hard for a review channel and it’s ok glad I can at least converse with my audience when I can
@@MeynMotorGroup Hey, I bought a 2017 Elantra new in May of 2016. Fully loaded. I just turned 98.000 miles on it. It has been a great car, absolutely 0 repairs. 3000 mile oil changes, a transmission service at 52.000 miles, and it getting a coolant service next week. Castrol GTX 10 30 oil since 1st drain. Runs great and uses no oil. Looks like new in and out thanks to our Southern California weather. I bought a new K5 GT LINE with premium package in june of 2021, awsome car like it alot. Kept the Elantra, its just to nice to let go. My work is an 80 mile commute so using the Elantra for that to keep the miles down on the k5! I also got 50.000 miles out the solus tires it came with, have 48.000 on the 2nd set, and they still have way to go. Like them fine.
I have a 22 se. It’s such a good car for the money. He said it feels like it won’t rattle or creek.. let me tell you, it rattles like a *+%#^*. My only complaint. It rattles bad

Hi, I I’m currently looking to buy a Jetta and I just wanted to know, does the Jetta Sport have ambient lighting?
@@killarc27 No, you’d have to find an led kit on Amazon.
I like the crease lines that they've added to this car, and nice to see you colour matched with it Kevin 🙂
I am pleasantly surprised and happy that you noticed 😅😂
@@MeynMotorGroup 👍
Yes, the 2023 Base Jetta S comes with a manual for just slightly under 23K!! Value priced 👍🏻

SEL trim is the most challenging levels to find in stock
You and I have the same taste I literally was just thinking about buying this car never considered the civic tho my wife wants that German feel you’d rather have the civic than this Jetta? Btw nice wristwatch what you rocking?
I think this is a solid buy at $17k
Maybe pre pandemic 😅😂
You can get like a 4-5 year old SE for that prices are crazy now
Na you can find it at this price its selling like hot cakes as used cars
It literally has the A3s sunroof part for part. IDE say it’s worth 28 at a base price, and you can get an S base for 21 lol don’t be a clown in the comment section
Excellent 👍
For anyone wondering, only the 2019 year Jetta has amber turn signals in the rear.
ooh Thank you for sharing this my friend
The car that you're driving, not the blue one, but the other one that you show frequently, what color is that?
I test drove this and the turn signal noise was driving me nuts😭

Weirdly over engineered and under engineered german car put together in Mexico... On paper it looks great but it's a shame what VW has become
No offence, drives like shit, torsion beam in the back for that price… but 1.5 averages 45-50 mpg on highway!! Which is insane
I have a 2014 Jetta - multi-link suspension that year
@@VSV659 yeah they cheaped out…
1st
Appreciate you my friend!
I wouldnt own a VW even if it were free
Somebody is saying the same thing about a Honda right now.. this never ends you can’t win with any car. Lease and dump is best strategy
That has been said about every car brand. Not everyone has the same experiences.
I have a 14 Jetta SE. Drives like new - worth every dollar spent.
This car has become so pedestrian 😢 it’s ugly!
