- The Jetta has always been decent but never this elegant! The 2019 SEL Premium is so well executed that I almost forgot it was just a VW! For a compact sedan, this vehicle feels leaps and bounds better than its predecessor! Check out my full in-depth review to see why this is possibly the most comfortable compact on the market!

I just bought a 2019 Jetta SEL. I seriously love this car. Just a phenomenal car for the money. Nothing else in its class can touch it.
Finally, a light color in the interior which makes it look upscale, not the cheap-looking black leather that everyone has now.
Yeah even this tester car looked a bit dirty on this seats
Yea I have a new Tiguan with the black v-Tex leatherette. I agree it does look cheap depending on my mood. I should have got the storm gray interior option. I’m clean so not worried about getting the lighter color dirty.
A very good video review of the new Jetta. Probably the best so far on TH-cam. Great job.
First review I've seen from you... really enjoyed it. Especially the driving portion. Thank you! Subscribed.
Great review! Thanks for showing the actual fuel economy associated with your drive!
I’m glad to have just found your channel and subscribed. Great job!
I just found your channel and subscribed. I really learned and understood the car because you covered the car in great detail.
0:34 the wind is about to break the hood prop !!
Great car, drove mine from Los Angeles to D.C. and averaged 48MPG from St Louis to D.C. on the last day & leg of driving.
My fave song after the voiceover! Yuuuuussssss.
Bought the S model, mainly because it's the only way to get a manual. Surprised with what it came with and moreover thankful what it didn't that i don't have to worry about messing up in the future.
Surprising useable power. Good handling. Nearly TDI mileage. Yup. 46-47mpg highway easy.
Oh and $16,9xx.
$17,000 Brand New? No way!
Sticker was $21,000. Dealer sold it for $16,9.
Not bad. That body style won't change much for 3 more years so you should be current. And then you should get at least 50% (or $8,500) at trade in..if you're the type that buys new every 4/5 years.
Prob the best auto review I️ have ever watched! This video makes me want one just to get rid of my 2006 Infiniti G35!
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼
VW deserves to sell boatloads of these. A great daily driver. Excellent first car for kids off to college at a price point that graduates swimming in student loan debt (or their parents) can afford. And speaking of affordability that 40 mpg figure will jump off the Moroney sticker on the window in the showroom. (40 mpg is MUCH more impressive than 39.) And Kudos to VW for a geared eight speed transmission rather than a CVT. (I'd prefer a DCT but others may differ.)Personally, I love the minimalist, upscale look and feel of VW's interiors. And for those of us who appreciate the elegant looks of European sedans, the exterior is gorgeous.
Like most VW's the engine power is both underrated in stock form and easily tuned for more performance if desired. I was initially surprised that VW didn't use their 1.8L four banger in the Jetta but its clear they can get the same performance from the smaller engine with the additional benefit of that 40 mpg fuel efficiency. And if one believes the 1.4L turbo isn't up to the task, driving the Jetta will probably convince otherwise. Self-styled "enthusiasts" will complain about the torsion bar rear suspension but I doubt VW will lose a significant number of sales as a result of that particular cost cutting choice, especially in view of the fact that the Jetta isn't meant to be a canyon carver and nine out of ten buyers won't even notice.
It's not all a bed of roses, especially in the back seat. A big plus for roomy accommodations but the cost containment is evident. For those of us who regularly transport a kid or big dog in the back, the lack of rear AC is REALLY annoying. And if the kid doesn't require a child seat, he/she is gonna want a USB port back there. All in all, though, this is a car for a single driver or a couple with occasional use of the rear seat that's comfortable for a couple of adults. Some may complain about the mesh cover of the sunroof but for those of us who live in places like Seattle where we can use all the light we can get, it's a plus.
It will be interesting to see what VW has in mind for the GLI, the "luxury" version of the Jetta. Perhaps the version of their 2.0L turbo that's in the Tiguan. (No chance of the version in the GTI, though.) Some additional sound deadening, rear seat AC and a usb charging port, and multi-link rear suspension are possibilities.
I really love the looks and tech of the 19 Jetta, they've really done a great job with it.
The GLI will be specd the same as the 2019 GTI. 2.0t, 228hp 258lbft torque and sounds like all the other same performance parts. We get to thank the MQB platform for that.
Michael Pritchard: Perhaps you know something I don't but I seriously doubt the GLI will have the same spec as the GTI. Typically, VW offers a GLI that points toward a more "luxury" look and feel and reserves the performance specs for the GTI and the R.
I think it's more likely that VW will offer a "performance" tune for the 1.4L engine or the 1.8L four banger used in the Golf Alltrack. If they go to the 2.0L engine, I'd bet the farm that it won't be tuned in the same way as the GTI.
First car for kids? Put them in a Chevy Sonic or KIA Rio and save money.
Sonic is a POS.
Everyone loves the Rio, though.
Stephen Hendricks oh wow hey Stephen this is a thorough analysis! I accidentally ran into another one of your comments here!! I am getting to where I recognize your name when I see it. You must watch all kinds of reviews every night like I do!!
Nice review. I'm holding out for the 2019 Golf with the 1.4 TSI and 8 speed AT - if they ever get here.
I am by no means a Volkswagen fan (except for the GTi), but I would very seriously consider this.
Great review. Thank you. The interior color looks a lot lighter than the grey VW has on their website under build your own Jetta. I am in LA. I wonder if different parts of the country get slightly different interior color choices. I prefer the lighter grey over the stormy grey that is on the website.
I used to have a fully loaded 'Package 2' MK5 Jetta that seemed to sound quieter than this. The 'Package 2' at the time, was also considered to be a baby Audi, without the quattro.
Good looking car! 👌🏻😎
Nice intro 👍🏻
VW/Audi has the BEST high quality switches for windows etc. How can this guy say they feel "cheap"?? I just bought a 2020 VW Jetta on 12.31.20. It is my third Jetta and I have owned a MB C-class and the window switches in the C-class were CHEAP!
I bought a 2019 new. I kept it just under one year. It used a lot of oil to the point of the car alerting me of low oil between oil changes. Never again will I own one. I don't regret getting rid of it.
Ong I’m def getting it now, love that Audi resemblance
Diggin the new channel logo and new music. Keep it goin, brother. But why oh why does VW keep going backwards with every other new Jetta generation release? Once again, back to crappy rear suspension just like they did when they first released the previous generation.
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Doesn't matter to self-styled "enthusiasts," Forrest. :)
I drive VWs but never buy a first year model of a new generation. VW always improves after feedback from the marketplace.
Everyone's going to torsion beams, including Mazda3, the handling favorite.
Thanks to better platforms, they've figured out how to tune them for a pleasant driving experience.
David M I honestly can’t even tell in my 2019 Jetta, my Corolla handled much worse even with the independent suspension
Please do another when the new GLI hits the market!
Nice new balance
Compare to VW Golf how loud is the interior
I love your review as always! I'm planning to get one of these or the Kia Forte in the next year or so. They have the exact same fuel economy but I like the looks of the Forte better and the warranty, quality is better. But, I think this Jetta has a more elegant design and punchy engine with 184lbft torque. My 17 Cruze has 177 torque and it was still enough for extreme highway passing.
I just search to see a model with front and backup sensor like the ones here in Aruba and btw front and backup sensor come in all trim here in aruba
In dilemma
Which better compare to civic
In your opinion
Recently watched your first comparison video. I’d love to see this vs the civic!
Thanks for the review! Been considering a new Jetta, but I have a Toyota and reliability is important and you did mention the reliability in the video.... Warranty is great, but I want it to not break! lol
Toyota sells cars based on their reputation for reliability. But it comes at a price. Specifically, Toyota is very conservative in terms of offering innovation in design and engineering. And Toyotas tend to cut corners in terms of interior appointments and new technology. Their product cycles are generally longer than the competition with relatively few improvements within a particular generation. That's not a criticism. Building in reliability for customers who are prone to abuse and neglect their vehicles comes at a price.
VW, on the other hand, knows it has an issue of its reputation for reliability among US consumers. (Interestingly, that's not a problem in Europe where consumers tend to be more likely to care for their cars with regular maintenance.) With that in mind, they're offering a much longer warranty than Toyota. But VW wouldn't offer a long warranty if it actually costs them significant money.
In effect, VW is betting that a six year warranty won't actually be needed by the vast majority of customers. That's not unique. It's true of ANY form of insurance. If you purchase life insurance, the insurance company is betting you won't die while you're covered. If you die, you "win" the bet. :)
In effect, VW is promising their customers that their vehicles won't "break" for at least six years or 72,000 miles. And if they can't keep that promise, they're obligated to pay for it. VW figures it's a good bet from their perspective and they won't have to pay up. They apparently have faith in the long term reliability of their vehicles. Whether you agree is up to you.
Stephen Hendricks VW does NOT do what they’re legally required to do. Time and time again.
@@chocolatewheelchair What nonsense.
I've got a 14 Jetta with 100k miles. Been going good so far just make sure to keep up with maintenance on European cars.
FYI, there is not an intercooler for this 1.4 tsi.
Do u think this car looking better than my 2016 Honda’s Accord sport?
Absolutely not, the 2016 Accord Sport is a great looking car.
Change the wheels on the jetta and you've got a damn great looking car. I suggest alzor 628s in black. Perfect budget wheel
In fairness, most folks won’t get excited over either of them.
They’re like toasters.
Not a fan of those wheels at all, they look like they belong on a hot wheel.
you are too kind!!! @@forrestsautoreviewsofficial
Agreed. I absolutely HATE them. They look like cheaper versions of the cheese slicer wheels that Honda is putting on their Civics (which I also hate!).
What is the price?
Don't get me wrong, this is probably the best loaded Jetta in years but I wouldn't consider it a compact vehicle. This car is HUGE compared to the older Jettas. Very similar to a Civic size wise that is now the size of a full size Accord from 15 years ago.
Cost .
I’d buy it but... I wanted a TDI
C. M. I’m hoping they bring them back to the us.
Interior noise is a dealbreaker. No insulation No acoustic glass.
You’re driving the car between 78-83mph - why are you speeding?
After a year on the market VW is still selling these with the 8speed auto grinding noises. Did you experience that Forest? Most of the grinding starts after people buy them and VW says it’s the normal operation of the stator clutch chattering in the 1500-2000 rpm range. Total BS VW. Nobody would buy a car if they know it makes the hideous grinding noises these make
I bought one black on black I always get compliments lol
Same here
Very cool car. Wish my name was Bezos so I could afford it.
Next time, filming appears in some beautiful places and not over houses or under tunnels, with bad weather like winds and opened the hood, as if they stole a car lol.
Everything is, "great, great, great, great", in these reviews. Then they don't tell you if it's in Canada, or USA. Test drive it yourself. People get paid for a positive review.
Uh he's driving in Texas, isn't that somewhat of a hint where he is?
I know Jetta sales died in Europe (had a MK5 & 6) oh why did you kill from our product line ups VW....still prefer it to the only saloon option we have Passat's.
They cut corners a LOT on this car though...
* no engine cover
* no rear vents
* hard plastics in the back
* trunk opening not in VW logo like most vehicles
* cheap prop rod for heavy engine hood
* console arm rest has no locking mechanism
* torsion beam suspension to save money
* no felt lining for glove box
I guess most wont care though, with the warranty it'll be a great buy used
LordWinter that's the problem with the Jetta...the cost cutting is obvious. The rear headrests are a prime example. I had a 2009 Jetta and it was obvious they put in extra effort. Since the price in today's dollars is pretty equivalent, I assume the money is being spent on tech and driver assistance features rather than those things you mentioned which are what actually makes a car feel special and premium. This new Jetta just seems like VW it based primarily selling size and features only.
Here in the US the jetta and Passat don't open on the VW logo. I know the Gti does.
At the end of the day this is an economy car. Volkswagens always drive better than its rival economy cars.
It's an econobox with a little bit of style/comfort. It is what it is.
They put money in the things you touch/use everyday, they cut in places you don't use everday. All the things on your list are things that don't matter everyday. They did a great job on the Jetta. Love this car.
@@joeylantis22 rear vents dont matter? lol
Im not saying it's not a good car, just that it's a little too obvious where they choose to cut costs. All those little touches that make it seem you bout a more expensive car are mostly gone. It's not built to dethrone the Civic or Mazda3 or punch high above it's weight...it's just a good car with a great warranty.
Road noise is a show stopper...
6000 miles on mine and the front door panels rattle and buzz
Check if you have anything in the door pocket. Since the door pockets are made of plastic and theres two HUGE speakers in them, anything inside will rattle if you're playing loud music or if you're driving at high speeds where there's going to be vibration. There's no way you should have rattles. You're probably having items in there which are making the buzzing noises. Also you understand these cars have a SIX YEAR warranty where if there actually is a sound (I'm pretty sure you're keeping items inside the door which is acutally making the noise -- your fault not VW's) you could have it fixed anytime you wanted since there's a warranty (but again probably not the car's fault)...
warranty claim. Thank goodness for the really long warranty!
Maybe you should clean your interior prior to producing the video, coffee spills on drivers door panel, filthy seats etc.
Beats audio? Nope, off my list.
I doubted too but coming from a car with harmin kardon and another with bose it doesnt sound terrible. Its really heavy on bass but overall i would compare with bose. Worth a listen before taking off you list.
Car is 4100 something lbs. Not sure where the 2900 lbs came from ?
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Thanks for the reply. Very good honest review. I passed on one just felt cheap to me for the $24,000 price tag.
looks upscale....its below audi...so it is expected
This isn't a US color
VW website shows it as an option but just on the SEL
I own an 2019 SEL in this color so its definitely a US option.
Forgot to update the steering wheel? It could use Audi like Control knob/joystick instead of plain jane like smeary touch screen.... 1.4t is not enough for the car of this size....
About $30,000 for this car?? Sorry way too expensive for me, the r line has the best looking rims. You can barely work on it by yourself, theres no specs on bulb replacement or anything. its a hands off car. On top of that you supposedly need special synthetic european oil. Sorry should have looked at the Kia Forte. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Fake exhaust outlets cheapens it
Thats the one thing I dont like about the Jetta. I have a Tiguan with the same tips. The interesting thing is even though you know they are fake, most people who don't know better actually think they are real. I've received many comments on how cool the exhaust is lol
The Dude I went to look at the Touareg and when I saw the fake tips it they just turned me off
So I went with a V6 Passat SEL
I think it’s just preference, but a lot of car makes are producing fake exhaust as standard in newer year models. Even luxury makes like Mercedes
vw only Jetta go to far .......
2019 boring design.
2019 boring, not interesting enough.
-Common ricer driver
What is wrong with this car it’s is terrible VW you guys need to work on this crab it looks terrible doesn’t look anything nice at all the looks terrible I would not buy the car at all and I love VW but this time you guys did a terrible car!!
Sal Morales I think it looks great
I think it is a very dated design. Actually though I will NEVER purchase a Volkswagen Corp manufactured vehicle.
#Dieselgate
Go buy some POS american car lol. GM and Dodge cheated on emissions too so calm your tits.
Gmc actually killed people with their faulty ignition switches that they knew about before doing a recall . But no one cares because CANT HURT OUR AMERICAN BUISNESS.
@@broed731
True, and I won't buy a GM car either. At least the VW emissions cheating didn't result in fatalities.
@@SimonStrother
I never said I would buy GM or Dodge either. Last time I checked, I can spend my hard earned money any way I choose.
@@broed731 Thank you for saying what people need to hear. American cars are trash and its no mistake they are always on the top 10 most unreliable cars year in and year out. Foreign cars all the way.
That color is disgusting 🤢🤮
Lorin Jones to each their own. I like it!
Nah... Just crap "engine check Light" car.
