2022 VW Jetta / SUV Practicality, Compact Price

- The Jetta is not the fun, german take on a small car it once was, but that's not always a bad thing. With strong competition from the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and more, where does the Volkswagen fit in?
Thank you, Royal on the Eastside, for letting me test out a Jetta!

I love my 2020 Jetta! Almost two years and no issues.
Just bought this Jetta today can’t wait to start driving it :)
Update: still waiting …
Got mine manual picking up tomorrow 10/3
Bought a 2022 Jetta SE two months ago, for same trim and color that you've tested. Love it: torque, tech and got 42 mpg, going 450 miles to Kentucky. Good room and suroof size is a bonus. Seats are decent. Very torquey motor and can drop into Sport mode for highway passing, if needed. Demerits would non linear acceleration, sometimes unresponsive transmission, average sound system, and body roll. Steering is light and OK, but doesn't have the feedback. That said, for 26k, IMHO: cannot be beat, with exception of Honda Civic. Ačording to the Car and Driver testing, the 2022 Jetta is the fastest compact, 0-60, (7.1 seconds) along with Mazda 3, but the Jetta kills it fuel economy. Reliablity: time will tell, but i concur that 5k-6k for an oil change; 10k is ludicrous.
Thanks for the information u shared👍🏾
Are you still happy with the car today? I am considering an SEL to replace my 2014 Jetta SE.
Jetta even in the 80s had a huge trunk.
It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Moreover, if your car's engine requires full-synthetic motor oil, it might go as far as 15,000 miles between services!
Great Video!
Thanks for coming through brother
👍
Watched the video again. Still considering a Jetta, but the more I think about it the more I think I'd just choose the S trim. With an automatic and no other options its a hair over 22K which is about as low as it gets for a decent car you wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in. Plus the cloth seats are softer, there's no rattling sunroof and the 16" wheels and tires are probably better riding and quieter. I'm just looking for a comfortable ride and good gas mileage, not so much an enthusiast driving experience. Pasadena VW in California doesn't mark up their vehicles above MSRP.
i have the S version and it is really all you need for an economy car.
I have the s as well and love it
I agree to all of this. I want a good looking but invisible car and the big tire 16 inch wheels, no sunroof are what I want! 22k beats all other comers ( perhaps the Nissan Sentra I would compare) review of Civic are even noisier ride, not as good looking or comfortable or as good mpg. I would like an 8 inch high res screen an backup camera and front and rear parking sensors in the base model for 2024. Hoping that in end of this year can get 2k off the sticker could you imagine a Base Jetta for 20k!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ronmccord44 The Jetta Sport looks pretty appealing for the price too.
@@jeffmorse645 I would get the base and see how low below sticker....... like the sober good looks compared to others also ( stealth gray doubt any car jackers or bandits paying attention to me)
This car is special: you get a gray interior instead of all (or nearly all) black interior as in most other models.
This reason alone is why you should consider it.
That 185 ft-lb. torque is nice too for city driving.
Just bought this car in manual! Glad I did. Was super hard to find, actually flying somewhere to get it. Hope I like it but from what I remember from a rental vehicle it was very smooth at cruising speeds. Price is decent too, new civics these days go for a few k more
Old IU grad here. Nice review. My 2014 Jetta SE has been extremely reliable and enjoyable (if not fun) to drive. I'm in the market for a new car, but every brand is scarce these days and mostly selling above MSRP. I've been on the waiting list for a Corolla Cross XLE FWD for five months with no end in sight.
Haha
The corolla cross in specific has been super hard to get ahold of, sorry to hear it, hopefully it will pay off soon
@@Realistick any gli review coming
@@Rewelsworld not at the moment, id love to make one but the only ones that come to the local vw dealer are pre sold. Just a game of luck!
5k oil change is interesting but good to know. I have the MK7 GTI with 200k and do mine every 8k/ every 3 months. Would be interesting to see how the Jetta's engine turns out long term.
Nice 👌🏾
You said the same thing I thought of Jetta seats. Hard. I drove an 2019 SEL with the leather seats and after about a half hour my butt was sore! Plus the hard console was right where my knee wanted to rest (6'3" also, long legs).
They are firm, it's something that I've gotten used to with German cars but yeah not a very plush experience all around unfortunately.
The 2022 SEL leather seats are pretty decent! Much better than the seats on my 2020 Lexus RX450! Only complaint on 2022 SEL is you can’t raise or lower the passenger side front seats.
What is the interior color?
Decent car for the $$, But vw missed on the NO Satellite radio and pass. seat that doesnt raise. did vw fix the transmission recall probs (2019-20)?
Satellite radio comes on the SEL, passenger seat doesn't raise but that's pretty standard for the class. And the issues dropped off after those years and I talk about it in my reliability segment at the end.
Do trees normally grow in the water where your from?
I like my 2017 SE Jetta
Just bought the 2022 Jetta SE myself. I think the buttons and especially the doors feel quite sturdy!
I agree, just not with the dials for the hvac, those were kind of loose on my tester. Still an sweet ride for the price, congrats!
Lane centering is available?? Lane assistance is already available in previous jetta.
Lane assist with lane keeping
Another great review. Appreciate hearing your opinion. I sort of like it, but it also seems boring. I prefer the Golf GTI.
Thank you, the jetta is indeed, quite boring, but I could see it being a fun around town tow with the manual!
That Regular Jetta Is Fast Enough.
Excellent interior and dash layout compared to all the tablet machines. Only issue is paint quality.
I got a 23 jetta but it jerks or shifts rough when slowing down or coming into first gear. Anyone has this issue?
Looks about the same, nice engine, grill light updates but Sadly VW still did "not" include Sirius XM.. whats up with that? Exc Review
These are totally fine as long as you keep it around 22-23k with a stick. They’re a great deal in that range. Once you start moving up trims and price, the competition is much more appealing.
I'd agree, but even at 29 grand, most cars in this class won't have ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, the ambient lighting and immense space on the inside. I'd still want better quality for the price, however, it still has more features for the money than most, so it still makes sense. This argument more so applies to the VW Taos imo, which has largely the same features, but will run you 35 36 grand in sel awd form with the same engine!
It really grinds my gears that they only add manual on base and highest trim , forcing anyone who likes manual to spend the maximum on the gli to get any of the midline features like projector headlights etc etc .
Base is best value for sure and feels more expensive
i love my 2022 jetta, the only problem i have with it is once i go past 100mph, the car feels like it can flip over if i move the steering wheel too aggressively
Yeah they're not built for that anymore, too soft and no irs. But also, I don't think these are offered in Germany or any place where you can go 100 without catching a reckless driving case🤣
Why are you driving over 100 mph and where do you go so I can get off the road?
@@nerdgurl402 I sure agree here. The little 1.4L is very fuel efficient - and I can't see pushing it past 75 - 89 MPH............and mine has IRS!!
Going 100 mph plus? Really? You are a danger not only to yourself, but to other people on the road. Try growing up!
How refreshing: that goregous almost-white or light-gray or "IVORY" interior.
Where else can you find such a gorgeous light colored interior?
IT'S ALLLLLL BLACK ALLLLLLL THE TIME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we bought 2022 Jetta VW with 4 tires and we have to buy extra addition tire for 900$ it is to expensive.
I touge my jetta too damn hard
My first thought seeing the front end of the car in this video was, Dodge Avenger.
Ruined it for me😂
10k...use synthetic oil
"Larger than average I'd say....."
Forgive me. But why is the HP so low with a turbo. Corolla 169 non turbo . Honda Civic 158 & 180 with it. I am looking at all the cars in class.
It makes more torque than all of those cars and I would about guarantee that it is quicker than them as a result (maybe hold for civic 1.5t).
Stick is nice, but this Jetta feels tired and cheap. Also, and that's just me, since I tend to keep cars for a minimum of 10 years (I mostly buy Japanese + Korean + an occasional Ford), German cars are pretty much a no-no.
She definitely feels cheap, especially in lower trim models. It definitely picks priorities and forgets others so i understand that. This is for the person that wants size, gas mileage and features, but doesn't want to pay much for it. I'd tell someone to go with a Civic, mazda3 or Corolla if they wanted quality and longevity!
@@Realistick "longevity" - Yeah, my current Toyota is 10 years old, and it's just getting broken in. My ideal vehicle would be a Toyota-made crossover/SUV the size of Chevy Traverse, with a split front bench (no center console divider), and a stick (column-mounted stick would be fine). I am not holding my breath. 😉
My 2012 VW Passat has 200k on it, only normal maintenance done all these years. Of course it’s a non turbo, 5cylinder engine that VW recently stopped making.
