Best wishes for 2025 Anthony! The VW Jetta Sport is a great looking car and well optioned for the price. If I was looking for a compact sedan I would step up to the GLI with the six speed manual. Great that VW gives drivers with different priorities choices. Thanks for your informative reviews my friend.
I agree that I wish the Passat was still available. I have a 2025 Jetta SEL and like it, but there was something more upscale about the Passat and the ride of the longer wheel base was bit smoother. Interesting thing I've noticed, the 1.5 turbo in the 2025 feels just as quick as the 1.8 turbo I had in my 2014 Jetta and gets even better gas mileage. Overall, a very nice car.
Own a 2024 Jetta Sport manual. Only 2 negatives, but they are pretty big. 1) In the heat of the summer, that 1.5 engine bogs like crazy from a stop. To the point of being dangerous. You get used to it in the manual and can rev it out. Can't do that in an auto though. 2) The 4 speaker stereo system is one of the worst out there. And they don't make it easy to upgrade. And the cost to upgrade to even a decent sound system is several thousand dollars. That's a lot to put into a $23K car. The best trim as you mentioned, is the SE with no sunroof or wheels package. That MSRP is just under $25K. VW's current $1000 cashback plus dealer discount becomes a great deal. And their cashback can go as high as $3000. (June 2024) My MPG on the highway is 47+, so over 600 miles on a tank. Just a great car overall. Excellent review BTW!
Great review Anthony. In my opinion, this is the best looking car in the class and is really well equipped for the $$. Of course I wish it had my power lol. If I were getting this trim I'd want the manual for sure. Have you done a review on the 25 GLI? If not hopefully you can do one sometime. The Passat was a great model and I also liked the CC a lot. Do you remember the Phaeton? i mean it was nice but not many wanted to pay 100 grand for a VW lol 😁85 was the high here and I'll take it. My friend in Buffalo said it was 10 there yikes! Hope all is well and that you are having a great day Anthony
Thank you James. It looks like YT fixed the extra videos for the members. I have been having problems with it and I have the GLI coming it is awesome. Great value, performance and it’s still an everyday vehicle. Were you able to see the X4 video posted today? I have had some issues with the membership uploads. I remember the Phaeton! It was amazing but unfortunately it was badges wrong and with the VW logo 100k is an easy no. How is your back feeling? I hope no wildfires are around on your side. Kids went to my parents for the weekend so I couldn’t get them for the livestream but it went well. Happy Saturday James
@@HawkeyeRides Oh I look forward to seeing your GLI review! My back has been a lot better thanks God. The shot really did so much good but it lasts for so long. Next step is to talk to a surgeon and go from there. Thank you for asking. It's still super dry here but no wildfires thanks God. Oh do your folks spoil the kids? I have a feeling they might lol. Have a good one Anthony

I bought the 2025 sport Jetta and I'm very happy with the vehicle. I had the Jetta S previously
That’s awesome congratulations and thanks for sharing

Merry Christmas Bro Anthony
@rakhsiprayogo82 thank you Rakhsi happy holidays to you and your family
@HawkeyeRides You're Welcome
MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄 ANTHONY
Thank you
I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday
I think that the Number 1 in the USA is the Civic but this is also not bad. Thanks 😀
You can’t go wrong with either Alen
This would be great if it had a button to switch to AWD for bad weather making it a perfect commuter!
At this price it would be awesome
Would this be a good upgrade from a 2020 Jetta SE
@@carlos6457 yes and in this review I explain the updates
TY.👍
@@bricks-mortar you’re welcome
YES the VW jetta Sport does have a slightly lowered suspension
@@stevenweiss2148 that is what I said on the review 👍
If you don't mind the extra cost for repair and maintenance, this is a nice car. I'd avoid it and go with a Honda Civic Hybrid.
Thanks for your input 👍
