| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | With automatic transmission and full power accessories (except for cruise, which was not available on 2011 S model) this car cost only $17,000. While not particularly powerful, it in no way looks or feels like a cheap car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD | reasonable for the car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD | For the right balance of features, prices are spot on. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price was amazing for the quality of the car. Nothing else comes close. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD | More features than the A3 for $5k less than what it would have been to have most of the features that were standard on the GLI. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 4-speed automatic FWD | Best $18,000 car I have ever owned good value for the money |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 4-speed automatic FWD | in 2003 I wanted a diesel passenger car (not a full size truck diesel). my other option was a mercedes e-class, in comparison I think I really got a good deal. 10k mi between oil changes, no spark plugs, cheap 15" tires |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Car was a steal with only 33000 miles at $10000 |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD | Very reasonably priced |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD | I felt price was a bit steep for such a little car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Too expensive for the category. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD | Its definitely more expensive than its competitors, no contest. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD | $2k more than the Astra with the same level of equipment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD | It was ultimately pricey. It came right up to the A3 pricing, and could have gone straight through 31K with Navigation and other bits. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD | Somewhat expensive for its vehicle class. Depreciation is steeper than expected. Parts prices can be scary. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 100hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Volkswagen isnt known for its inexpensive vehicles, and they do not bicker with pricing, it is what it is, and if you dont buy it, someone else will... |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD | maintenance and parts are expensive |

| Available Features of the Volkswagen Jetta: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
A+ |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The only hard plastics are on the grab handles on the door. The rest is nice thick rubber type plastic (nothing looks like it was made by little tykes) |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
solid car |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
seemed sturdy enough although I thought there was a bit more plastic used than necessary |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The material used in the Jetta are comparable to Lexus. Definitely the best material quality in its class. Workmanship is also impressive, the thud of the door, the alignment of the panels. Built to last. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The materials appear to be all first rate. Many of the parts are the same as in the Audi and many have the Audi rings on them. Workmanship is first rate throughout. Excellent fit and finish. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Attention to detail, entire car(engine compartment, underside, etc...) is finished in and out. Long corrosion warranty speaks for quality materials and finishing. Laser welded structure for stronger/stiffer/safer chassis. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Excellent interior build quality and materials, looks far more expensive than what I paid. All interior and exterior panel gaps are uniform all the way around. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The quality of the interior materials is unmatched in its price range. Every surface has a nice grain and a soft feel, and it is all put together very well. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
It has an interior befitting a vehicle 2x its price. Everything lines up, works smoothly and intuitively and looks good in the process. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The jetta has very nice body finish and there was no unaligned doors or gaps anywhere to be found. The leather had excellent stitching and felt very good compared to the TSX which felt very thin and of poor quality. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Solid feel to car. Closing trunk lid, doors, Interior shows workmanship and a high grade of materials. |

| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
And again, we are right back to cookie cutter bland. Blank out the steering wheel logo and you could be sitting in any small sedan. The world is now made of plastic and vinyl, I guess. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 4-speed automatic FWD |
Junky interior parts that break easily. Poor mechanical design that breaks down all the time. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD |
Very flimsy components for the trunk release mechanism. The glove box is also made of flimsy material. Electrical problems have recently cropped up with the power windows. |
