@UC1vvayQSy47w5bq0xoeElkg he was just making a correction in the video. Ofcourse they wouldn't be using luxury quality and sport car level handling on an 18k car. Its call business. All the different VW owned brands are in different segments, so there is definitely no comparison between a jetta and a 911 or an A3 e.t.c. Just like Toyota and Lexus. VW is a mass production brand unlike its luxury subsidiaries.
The ground clearance helps me to exit my driveway that has a high curve into the gutter. This high level keeps from scraping as I enter and exit the driveway. My Mazdaspeed 3 scrapes it all the time.
Thank you for this review, you are right the Jetta is one of the best first cars. I’m definitely going to get this car. You review was awesome I just wish you could show the speakers actually work because that’s the only thing I’m worried about. I hope the beats audio isn’t as bad as their headphones.
chocolatewheelchair Honda maybe. My daughter’s first car was a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. Bought from CarMax with 9500 miles on it. It basically fell apart in the next 28K miles. The tint inside the rear window turned opaque. Many pieces of the plastic interior started turning radically different colors. The fake aluminum plastic trim inside just started flaking off. Trim pieces fell off of the outside as well. Reliability was fine. I did have to have it aligned 3 times as the tires started wearing excessively. The paint also was fading noticeably when we got rid of it. She is driving a 2015 Chrysler 200 now which (hold the jokes) has been a better car than the Hyundai. I likely won’t buy a Hyundai again for a while. Probably will buy the Jetta as I am seeing the SEL trim at my local dealers for right at 22K. VW’s 72,000 mile, 6 year, bumper to bumper, warranty is great.
the lights at night are fantastic...the fog lights also turn on when you turn a corner ...so make a right turn and the right fog light goes on and then shuts off when you're straight...rear cross traffic....if a pedestrian is near the rear the car will come to a dead stop...the Rline is supreme dope...best rims
+chocolatewheelchair well this was a review on a dealership car! However I have a couple of friends that bought one as a personal car and they have had no issues with theirs!
chocolatewheelchair I have the trans noise which seems to be the main issue many people are having. Other than that, the SEL is beautiful. Feels way more expensive than it is. I’m a VW gal though. This is my 4th Jetta and 11th VW. I’m pretty hardcore. This model is really classy. Nice upgrades from the 3 lower models.
Thank you for your video, helped me understand the 2019 VW Jetta SEL a little but more. I would have liked to seen a more in depth presentation as to all the virtual dashboard options, etc.
Excellent video Sir!!! You're a pretty chunky fellow and you seemed to fit in there very well. I'm 71 and full of arthritis and getting in and out with ease are important to me, sadly no one seems to address this aspect of car ownership. Is John Davis from Motorweek still alive, I used to love his auto tests and we are about the same age I reckon??? Thanks for helping me decide on a new car!!!
Now I have to lose weight lol. But yes while driving this vehicle it didn't at all feel cramped or tight. Just the right amount of space in the interior!
Thanks for the reply, I hope I didn't offend but I used to be larger but age and diabetes have emaciated me. I bought a Buick Regal Sportback because to me it was a working man's Audi A7 (a car I would kill for, but can't afford $87K Cdn). REQUEST: could someone somewhere PLEASE start testing car/suv's FOR OLD FARTS SUCH AS ME. I'd kill for a vehicle that is easy to get in and out of, has comfortable seats that don't hurt your posterior after 1 hr. in them, and are easy to drive , park, and load-up at Walmart!!! Thanks again, good video.
Dennis Challinor the best vehicle for you would be the SUV/ crossover class of vehicles. High ground clearance to enable easy ingress abd egress also easy access to the trunk as well.
Nice review. I bought my first VW in 2016. A black Jetta SEL premium with the 1.8. Great vehicle. Kind of disappointed VW went away from the more powerful 1.8T. I am waiting for the new GLI to arrive, then I trade in....
GLI/GTI market that's why. 1.8T that we both have (my golf) has a ton of tunability and pushes out lots of power. I personally would never tune a non GLI/GTI+ models due to different chassis Also does save some fuel with less HP engine AND smallest of its class.
It’s all about meeting average fleet fuel economy standards these days. I get 44 on the highway easy with the 1.4. At least it still has the same torque figure
Good review my guy. I did a review on the R Line Jetta a few months back and I really liked the car but I feel it's still a bit boring for a VW. I really hope the GLI scratches my itch for a fun non hatch compact especially with the Elantra GT bringing the heat.
Nice review, but you didn't mention the seat controls. VW dropped lumbar support on all Jetta models except the SEL Premium. Why?! Even my '14 Jetta had lumbar controls.
When yo drove this car don't fell weird noise coming from the engine some time? I have this car and is normal noise . I test 3 different jettas different trims and have the same noise . I don't not why no buddy tell that in the reviews. Thanks

No buddy say that I have this car and have very weird noise I don't not is coming form the engine or transmission but I test 3 different cars in the dealership and have the same noise.
I would want a TDI car for work. Too bad USA gov really want VW out of the pic and had them paid USD 1Billion So they can push their always inferior cars with diesel. Even Ford will stop making compact "cars"
great review..like everything about the new jetta except the wheels.to me, they are ugly and kill the look of the car. Better rims would make this car look 10x better
just something less busy ..i love the wheels on the 2015-2017 gti..simple but give the the car a great clean look..too many cars are going with these rims that have too much going on in my opinion
Germans suck at rims. A tech at my dealership put Atlas S Rims on his Jetta R-Line. Looks awesome. Fellow salesman did the same to his Jetta S and I’m about to do it to my Jetta SEL. Looks awesome!
Nice review but as a VW Jetta owner I have to say this car falls flat. This Jetta as been homogenized and Americanized it is the most un-German like Jetta. The engine is anemic I know they increased the gearing to 8 speed but the car is slow. The rear lights are taken from the 2016 Hyundai Sonata. Designer Peter Schrier had this design when he was with Audi. He took the design language to Hyundai/Kia so what AUdi/VW did to save money was to use his designs and they are still doing so today. I am looking forward to the GLI hopefully there might be something exciting about that car.
If you are thinking to buy a new VW JETTA 2019, think twice. I bought this car in May 2019. The 8 speed automatic transmission, beside making a grinding noise when is driving at a constant speed of 30 to 40 miles per hour (+/_ 1,200 RPM), make an annoying vibration. The service department and the VW representative said that the vibration and noise are normal. I think this is the most ridiculos answer that I ever heard from a car manufacturer. I when to different VW dealers and drove a brand new car and all have the same problem. Be careful when you test it, maybe you will not notice it at the beginning. Just type in Google "Jetta 2019 transmission problems" and you will see. Pd: This happens on roads not very steep as we have in florida. Thanks
? This is a compact sedan. The GTI doesnt come with 4motion. The GLI doesn’t come with 4motion? It’s never come with 4motion? What’re you expecting. It’s 25,000 car?
I think I might be the only person that thinks the front looks extremely sexy.
thanos v10 you’d like the Passat then too
I like it too
@@chocolatewheelchair I like it too, especially the rear. I can't wait to see what the 2020 passat will look like and the GLI
It grows on you for sure! I used to hate it, then I thought it was OK, now I actually really enjoy it.
Handsome like an Armani men's suit but not sexy (hence curvy) like a Ferrari.
Great review, but one thing. Volkswagen owns audi.
and Bugatti, and Lamborghini, and Porsche, and Bentley too.
And Seat,Skoda, Ducati, MAN, Scania..

@@Moisi547 the a3 is based on the same archetexture as the 2019 jetta. The gli version is going to be shockingly similar to the a3 minus awd
Best review on this car I’ve seen yet, keep it up
I have this exact car, 2019 VW Jetta SEL Platinum Gray. I’m at 3700 miles and absolutely love it.
Intro is dope dude 👍🏿. Glad your doing car reviews again 👍🏿
P8ntballa thanks bro changing up the content a bit. Trying to get a good mixture of different content on the channel!
I love its ground clearance. It is the highest in this segment
The ground clearance helps me to exit my driveway that has a high curve into the gutter. This high level keeps from scraping as I enter and exit the driveway. My Mazdaspeed 3 scrapes it all the time.
good review!
great review thank you for making it... I have drive a 2020 sel which i like as well...
Thank You for showing your support!
That digital dash looks dope...🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video keep up the great content...

i have one, speakers are so good they don’t even rattle on full volume and maxed bass
Nice review! I am looking for one of these for my daughter. Seems like a perfect vehicle for the price with great features. Good warranty too.
Rod Reichardt oh yea absolutely this would be a perfect first car. Safe, reliable, full of tech, great fuel economy and much more!!!
Better off with Hyundai or Honda

Jon Falkenburg I got a Kia 4 months ago!
Saw this in dark green a few days back and couldn't believe it was an entry-level compact car..
Progressive Viewer the green isn’t available on the base trims
the lights at night are fantastic...the fog lights also turn on when you turn a corner ...so make a right turn and the right fog light goes on and then shuts off when you're straight...rear cross traffic....if a pedestrian is near the rear the car will come to a dead stop...the Rline is supreme dope...best rims
silkhead44 why do the fog lights shut on and off when they could just remain on
Great overview! I love my Jetta SEL!
Heather Cavall any issues with it? Reliable?

But you think I need took my car to the service department?
are you sure the headlights are dynamically moving with turning the steering wheel?

The 1.4l engine isnt new. It started the 2016my BUT down in power for the mk7 jetta

728 Autos Jetta R Line is just Appearance, same transmission same in June appearance, same transmission same engine as the rest of the trim levels
@@BlackNinjaTaco4 yup. Which is boring to us enthusiasts.
i understand that this vehicle has the engine "stop/start" feature. What are your thoughts on how this system works? Some people hate this.
Chris Baldwin you can turn it off if you don't care for it.
Great video. I'm curious what they have for the GLI. By the way, VW owns Audi not the other way around.
We will have to wait and see trust me when its available, there will be a full review on it for my channel!
JR14 awesome, I have the notification bell on
2009 jetta????
I can't decide between the Jetta and the Golf GTI
Nice review, but you didn't mention the seat controls. VW dropped lumbar support on all Jetta models except the SEL Premium. Why?! Even my '14 Jetta had lumbar controls.
They’re in complete damage control mode and the cost cutting in this car is obvious although I still like it
When yo drove this car don't fell weird noise coming from the engine some time? I have this car and is normal noise . I test 3 different jettas different trims and have the same noise . I don't not why no buddy tell that in the reviews. Thanks
Check out vwvortex they talk about it on the forum there. It's basically the torque converter.
How tall are You? I am 6'2''. Is there enough leg room for the driver?
100%
How about front emergency braking ?
Mac Gabriel it has it
Yes front collision warning is standard equipment on this vehicle!!!!
Do they offer cooled/heated seats in any of the trims?
Heated AND Cooled seats only the SEL Premium model. Heated seats in all the models - at least according to the Cars.com comparison guide.
John McCormack correction: Heated seats on everything but the S model.
What's the doug score
44

Thanks broseph! Also, what is your thoughts about VW’s reputation for bad reliability?
I only hate why wheels, they should be bigger and the outside is to boring, but hopefully the gli will look better
Hunter Jackson bigger rims mean tougher ride and more expensive tires
Nice review, however - why no mention of the transmission noise problems?
No buddy say that I have this car and have very weird noise I don't not is coming form the engine or transmission but I test 3 different cars in the dealership and have the same noise.
Some people dont' hear it, some cars dont heave it. Some have it bad, some you don't hear it at all (like mine)
My car now have 1500 miles and the noise is less now I guess gone soon
Lol I’m sold
I miss my TDI Jetta
I would want a TDI car for work. Too bad USA gov really want VW out of the pic and had them paid USD 1Billion
So they can push their always inferior cars with diesel. Even Ford will stop making compact "cars"
@@lucienl9465 Germany still make 2019 TDI ?
@@gersonlovell70 Probably, just in Europe but NOT in North Amercia if they are. And VW is getting to electric/Hybrid cars now.
SAME!!!
Nvmd you corrected it yourself lol

Well that sucks, I bought the S trim with the 6 speed manual transmission. No problems at all had it almost a year.
Finally got around to buying a Jetta. Then I saw the new car. No motor, no 4 motion. No deal. Ruined this car.
? This is a compact sedan. The GTI doesnt come with 4motion. The GLI doesn’t come with 4motion? It’s never come with 4motion? What’re you expecting. It’s 25,000 car?
Do You think VW is a premium car??cuz you always say"high quality"
