I bought a 19 Jetta SEL and really enjoying driving the car. I looked at Honda Civics and found the Jetta's to be better equipped for a better price. Also the 6yr 72,000 warr.
It's basically an A4 Audi at half the price. If you want all the bells and whistles step up to the Audi brand but for low $20's the Jetta is great compared to most anything else on the market
T Mac hi you don’t hear noise come from the engine or transmisión like a vibration when the car shift. I bought Jetta 2019 2 weeks ago and try 3 different cars and have the same noise .
No weird noises yet, compared to my previous tdi this new car is very quiet. I have really been enjoying this car
How’s the Jetta been??
I agree, my new 19 Jetta feels like an entry level Audi A trim. Good job VW! These will sell well.
@@Hersses-tech yes- I have the same noise when shifting at high rpms mine is the S with 6 speed manual. But it doesn't bother me. That VW for ya, it's just different,not broken. Remember 6 year bumper to bumper warranty!!!
That navigation dash is the best thing I have ever seen in a car! Holy crap
It's a poor man's Audi!
I just bought one and it blew my mind how sexy that interior is....it was absolutely what I imagined if I could get a car tailor made for me
Now that Sir, was a great car review! YUP! You nailed it. It is a great looking car and has evolved into a classy German sedan that anyone would feel good in. I used to have a 99 Jetta GTX back in Germany. I like the direction that VW has taken the Jetta.
It looks big, and it is big. Definitely the biggest Jetta ever. I stood beside it at AutoShow and it definitely is bigger than previous generations.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS all modern cars are. They’re bulky and they all have the same body shape/style. Modern shits boring and overweight
I bought the 2019 Jetta s automatic and its awesome
ur awesome
Have an Atlas for family trips and jetta for commute. Best combination ever! VW rules!
This review does a fantastic job of describing driving the Jetta. The low end torque definitely gives the car some more umpf
I have a 2020 VW Jetta with the SE trim and I can tell you that this review is very well done and is very accurate! Great review! Nice job!
Hey may I ask how the car is? Do you still have it?
I still have it. No problems.
Great review. I was very surprised by this car. Coming from my '05 325ci BMW I was scared I would like but not love it. 3 months in and I am still very happy! It is not AS fun but it does a great job for what it is, and feels extremely quick off the start. I really like this car!
It really does look/feel expensive. People are always surprised after seeing it and hearing the price point!
I bought a 2021 VW Jetta R-Line about a month and half ago. I initially liked that looks and interior of it as a friend of mine had purchased one. I liked the fact that it has the MBQ platform of Audi's and other VW Group autos. Also, as I'm 45, I was driving mini-vans for many years due to young children. While the Jetta is not a rocket, it's also not a boy racer. I didn't want a boy racer. I wanted something composed, German feeing and had good interior room and tech. It checks all those boxes. It's really a great compact sedan without being stodgy with all the tech. It's ride is both quick and composed at the same time. Go to the GLI if you want sports car. The Jetta R-Line looks and acts sporty, but is not a "Sports" car. 40 mpg+ on the highway. 30+ around town. The 2021 warranty is 4 years, 50000 miles bumper to bumper. Two years free oil changes. One at 10K and another at 20K.
Good comments. Curious why didn’t you go with the GLI?
I've always loved the Jetta. This car is beautiful.
Your reviews are really good! Not boring at all.. and I like that you’re driving almost the whole time! I’m excited for the Jetta GLI to come out.
Been driving my VW Jetta SEL for a couple of months. Loved it. Done some modifications to the suspension, ecu, and throttle. It pretty much drives like an Audi A4 without having to spend the money. I even had a guy thought I bought an Audi. The only Gripe I have is that they should have kept the 1.8 turbo. That engine was solid. Anyways I'm glad the Jetta is getting the praise that it deserves.
1.4 gets better fuel economy and is perfectly adequate for most drivers. The 6 speed manual is more fun and can be more fuel efficient than the auto. Smart drivers know how to coast using a manual. I average 40 mpg with my 1.4, but I can easily cruise at 80 mph. If you need speed then the GLI is the Jetta to get. 🙂
I just bought a very lightly used SEL premium 2019 Jetta yesterday. Barely 10k miles on it. For 20k before taxes. I feel like that's an amazing deal
J’ai acheté cette Jetta Execline 2019 en mai 2018 comme cadeau pour mes 70 ans lorsqu’elle est arrivée; j’y ai mis des roues de 18 pouces, profil bas, et j’ai fait faire une cire au Téflon. Elle est absolument magnifique et je l’adore. En mode éco, à 118 km avec le régulateur de vitesse, en 6è vitesse, sur 700km, je fais 5.6 l /100km. Incroyable ! Dommage que je ne puisse pas y joindre une photo. Et bravo pour votre analyse: effectivement, on a l’impression de conduire une voiture beaucoup plus dispendieuse. La classe abordable!!!
I just got one last month, love every minute I'm in it. And the styling is spot on, it's beautiful
Bought a 2019 highline this year with 25000k. Couldn't be happier. Compare it to the other cars in this segment, there's no doubt I made the right choice!
One of the best new 19 Jetta reviews on TH-cam. Next is Driven , then Redline then TFL or Matt Maran.
I got a 2020 Jetta SE and I love it. Even without the the digital dash or any of the SEL options. The only thing I wish I got was the Beats Audio and Interior Lighting.
I just financed a fully loaded 2019 Execline jetta! I love it. Thanks for the solid review Thomas
Bought the 2019 Jetta S and very happy
I think something may be wrong with your tags cuz I have been looking at Jetta review for months cuz I bought one, subbed to you guys months ago, saw your GLI review and just NOW found this review. You described the 19 Jetta exactly how I feel about it! It is actually pretty fun and no other reviews have given it's due credit idk why! Thanks guys!
6 months owning my 2020 Jetta and nothing wrong! My 3rd Jetta. Excellent gas mileage.
best jetta review so far...well done...my only gripe with this car...if you are slow off the line, the automatic transmission in regular and eco mode makes darth vader like breathing sounds in high gear (D5 and D7) and low rpm
silkhead44 i can’t imagine a car that sounds like Vader being bad..
Thomas, yours reviews mean a lot to me as they answer so much of what I care about and question. For this overall great review I wish you had mentioned something about how it differs from the GLI.
Relatively pleasing to the eye, a ton of room, great fuel economy and it’s cheap.
Very well presented. I rank you No 1 in presentation effectiveness. Just purchased a Jetta Execline eager to bring it home.
Love my Jetta RLine
This is a nice looking design. If I buy a new modern car the things I'll need to learn than the old days.
My extended average on fuel economy is usually 5.5-5.9L/100KM with mixed driving in the summer I get anywhere from 800-850 kilometers from a tank! That’s to me is insane in a gas powered only car!
my 2021 Jetta recorded 45mpg at 65mph for 180miles
A manual trans with a DieselGeek Short shifter dramatically improves the entire driving experience of an already well-made car. Love the gas mileage, and there's plenty of trunk space for most folks.
I bought a 2020 SEL and I really like it. I did a test drive of the 2021 Elantra. It's certainly more stylish but the power wasn't that great. I got $6k off the 2020 (with 33 miles) so they could push their 2021 Jettas. It feels very Audi. When you shut the door it has a nice vault sound. I love the Digital Cockpit. It's a nice car and I hope it holds up. It's a far cry from the other 2 VWs I had. My 1st was a 1974 Bug.. I miss that car.
Great review, Thomas! I knew that was the church Downtown Guelph!
It looks surprisingly good considering how bland contemporary car design is.
Great review. Own a 2019 Jetta SE. Awesome car to drive. Love it!
Bought the Jetta S and love it
Same here good car and really roaming
Excellent review!
I have a 2019 vw jetta sel and I already put 40k miles in one year. My kids love it with the darkest tint in the rear windows they enjoy being back there and there enough space for the size of the car
By the way VW is one of the few companies that still make manual transmission cars and that was a big plus.
Oh boy does the car respond when you need it to. Easy car to to work on other then having to buy a few extra tools but not bad
Always great reviews from you guys. Cheers from Louisiana
More fuel efficient than most American cars.
"Doesn't feel like a first car" $31,000+ is a first car? Most people's first car are used ones at 10 grand and under.
My first car was used.
My first car was a shit brown beat up 1981 Toyota Celica ...ST.
you can get a base Jetta starting at 18 grand, and lease it very cheap
Yippie My first car was a 1999 Corolla with a broken window Lmao
This car starts from 20k why so ignorant?
I agree, really wish the crossover trend would just die already.
Wao that is good I have se model and don’t stay in the mode selected after park the car . Also the button light is in yellow color indicating eco mode and when you see the cluster say drive mode I need push the button again for shift to eco mode when I want use again. Yes maybe you right and is the level trim . I don’t know why vw put the stereo base in the se trim level my radio don’t have home mode and sound is bad compared with my sonata se entry level. But overall I am very happy with my Jetta is a lease so maybe next time I got the Passat or Tiguan .
Awesome review, i bought this cat last year and love it! Subscribed!
Love your reviews!
Great review
I would get the Jetta instead of the GLI because I can't get the GLI in blue color xD.
Hey, where's "..and I'm James"?
He wasn't there in the early reviews?
One thing I really don't like is that the exterior color and metal is brought over into the exterior on the b-pillar
Seems like a nice daily. Would never buy a VAG product but appears they made this for the North American market only and and found its demographic
You are right german car means problems and expenses.
Can ya'll to a Jetta vs 2019 Mazda 3 Sedan review? The Mazda 3 ('19) is available now for purchase
I was able to get the car at 15k. Mine is manual transmission I wanted the blue paint but I ended up getting the gray paint job. The interior stays pretty cool if the car is under the sun. I tinted the windows super dark and it made the car look ten times more expensive
The whole point of a Jetta, as an entry level German car, is to feel more expensive than it is. So they have accomplished their goal
Hi! I like your automotive tests, I like the way you present pros and cons and the feel of the car on the road. What kind of information it gives through the steering wheel and how you feel movement of the car. Especially liked the previous test of Genesis with a great combo: manual shifter, LSD, RWD. But I have a little remark. I find it a bit hard to take you serious when you talk about a car outside the car and you are standing there ether in shorts or in those N.B. trainers. It's OK to be in casual ware, but try to be in some sort of jeans or pants with long leggings. and please invest in some kind of driving shoes or some kind of shoes that are not running trainers. Keep up the good work. I think that you're a bit underrated and you deserve way more subscribers.
What's sad Ford Motor Company will be eliminating cars from the lineup except the Mustang since more people are driving trucks, sport utility vehicles as crossover utility vehicles (cuv). Not everyone wants a truck & so on, with that said I think Ford will lose more sales for people who still want a car, your right should be more of these than SUVs which still are not that great on fuel economy but are good for pulling trailers which I thought about a 2017 Lincoln Navigator for space if need it va a truck but this car here as the Passat I'm considering if I don't stay with Lincoln model cars. Great review of the Jetta.
The American public is going all CUV or Trucks. Sedans are a no. Women also loving CUVs. So no more market for sedan for the big 3 because not many people are buying them. Japanese and Euro brands keep their sedan because people still buy them in their home market.
Sad they don't offer it in Germany
That's because in this segment nobody buys sedans.
I know, I still want it though. :P
They Sell the Skoda Octavia instead. The same exact thing.
I had a 2013 autobahn edition. Lol. Autobahn. But that version was 30k and it seemed an OK value
You are lucky a lot Vw Jetta 2019 owners have the same problem I like the car a lot but this noise star to worry me vw dealerships say is normal I don’t think so . Thanks
What sort of noise?
I wish VW's were more reliable because the features in this car are absolutely amazing
I bought a brand new 2019 Jetta S with the six speed manual transmission. So far I love it and hate it. I wish I bought the SE trim because it includes a push button start and keyless entry. That means allot to me and I hate taking the key out of my pocket inserting it and turning the Kay. I haven't had a turn key since 2007. Besides that the 6 speed is great and built well. Fun too.
Acuravigor47 it’s like they’re punishing car guys
Great vid. I wonder how the r line drives
Derrion Brumfield it has basically the exact same driving fundamentals
Torsion beam rear for small cars, is simpler, cheaper and more durable...very common...
Is the Exceline trim the same as the SEL trim in US? What's your take on GLI vs. regular Jetta? Sportiness on a budget :-)
Excellent, more affordable car, but look at all those exposed wires in the engine compartment! VW, PLEASE improve the quality of your wiring harnesses.
I'd love to have this, but they dont even build them anymore in Germany
Very few "German" cars sold in North America are built in Germany. Do a Google search: where was my car built.
@@rizzlerazzleuno4733 it was built in Mexico. Not really known for quality control
@@bobow4075 I have a 2019 Golf built in Mexico and the quality is excellent. 12,000+ miles and averages 42 mpg at 70+ mph. Everything about it is better than my 2014 Mazda 3 built in Japan.
@@rizzlerazzleuno4733 Email me a pic of those MPGs I can't believe that kind of milage w/out pics. Also build quality on VW are known to be horrendous. Look at how many people have been having rattling issues and faulty torque converters. Great driving cars tho
@@bobow4075 My car does not have any rattles and I don't have a torque converter......have a 6-speed manual transmission that shifts smooth as key lime pie. Sorry, not concerned to proving to you the car's gas mileage. I know what it is. EPA rating from my car is 37 mpg highway and many Golf and Jetta owners with the 1.4 turbo engine will tell you they consistently get 40+ mpg. Enjoy driving whatever it is you drive. 🙂
It's kinda like a German Toyota that doesn't punish you for not being able to afford the car company's premium brands.
Skipping this until the GLI comes out. This is less HP than the last model plus I hate the new higher ride hight. I like low slung that is what makes the Jetta more German. Sigh.
The jetta as been Americanized this is not a good thing.
So, this or the Genesis G70?
Noxwagen Das Emission :)
Oh pooh.
The SEL and the S are 2 completely different cars in terms of extras.
The S trim class, which is most common, has almost none of these features 🙄
What happened to the E46??
How about the 2019 jetta gli?!?
That video should be out this coming Wednesday
We all just gonna ignore his name is Tom Holland.
Did you say it cost $60 to fill the tank with gas or $16?
CDN $60
It’s Canadian dollars though
Someone actually thought my 2019 Jetta was a Passat
the interior is not solid...you will hear a symphony of creaks and rattles from the dash and sun roof after 40k kms
Yes. most people should be driving smaller cars, or rather more fuel efficient cars. Fortunately in 5 years or so, EV will be more common and affordable and many commuters, delivery vehicles, taxis, etc will be using an EV. People commuting in some overweight, over size SUV that might get 18 mpg at best are just wasting fuel, but since they can afford it, they do not care. If VW had not been so stupid and corrupt they could now be selling diesel cars in North America that get over 50 mpg......just look at what they offer in Europe, UK and other countries that meet & exceed very stringent emissions standards. But even VW is selling a bunch of inefficient CUV-SUV vehicles.
drove both the Jetta SEL and Civic EX and let me just say that the civic has so much better handling and feel. The civic feels planted and robust whereas the Jetta feels wobbly. The steering on the Jetta is unbelievably light which isn't too good imo. The civic has a nicer feel. on the freeway it's a no brainer, the civic is far superior. The jetta does look so much nicer inside and out but the fit and finish aren't up to par as the civic.
For me the civic just sits to low to the ground!
Great review. One question: I've heard that the opaque screen on the pano roof can toast the top of your head. Anything to that?
I'm inclined to this car, or the 2019 Forte, whose back seat is not so low rent as this. Any preference there?
as an owner...no it doesn't
I haven’t driven the Forte yet. I’ll be driving it in a few weeks though.
Throttle House I'll be looking forward to seeing it.
I just bought a 19 SEL Jetta, I am 5ft 11in tall and have pleanty of head room. Love the car and I have on avg been getting 38mpg in mixed driving
I'm not that tall; I'll be buying a car in Atlanta and want to be sure the opaque roof doesn't heat up people's heads. One above says no. Let me know what you find on sunny days, please.
ya but the real fuel consumption vs. VW guages is a different thing! my golf *always* burns way more than what the dash avg says :/
Car is freaking huge. Jettas were compact vehicles but now they look bloated. Not hating the car, it's just that this is almst a full size sedan.
Maybe VW will bring the Polo over to slot below the Jetta now.
I test drove it and thought it actually felt pretty small.
@@neil9658 As an owner of an 89 and 94 , car is pretty large.
If i knew what i know now i would have purchased a Kia Forte, much cheaper and more features and safety equipment. Drivers compartment legroom should be better, specially the right knee space with that rediculously large center console. Also not Keen on special European oil you need to use also, so many drawbacks.
Japan Only
#dressforsuccess
I bet they havent fixed the transmission issues yet. Why would they when they can charge you for reset the computer everytime. Dont buy a Jetta.
The front end of this car is ugly
This new Jetta is so fugly! That hood is from an old Sebring!
If you feel fancy in a Jetta, you are a sad sad individual.
Jetta are trash cars... Lemons each of them
Jason Hamelin hmm I question their reliability too,.,what car do you suggest?
@@chocolatewheelchair owned a 2009 accent. No prob at all. Cheap car. Girlfriend toyoto corolla 2009. 180 000 km+ no problem at all. Toyota tercel. No prob at all. Ford ranger 2003. Some prob but nothing out of ordinary.
@@chocolatewheelchair my friend bought a used 12 000km jetta from dealer. Worst purchase of his life. Turned it after one year for a subaru. The jetta did not start well during winter. He had to buy special glass wiper because even that is unique to Volks....$$$
@FlatusOhlfahrt Ha! Nailed it. I was going to ask what experience he had owning one? He listed off a bunch of JDM and a truck for his car history. I've owned an 88 and 89 Jetta, an 03 and now 19 Jetta GLI and a Golf too. Only real major repair outside of normal stuff like; brakes, struts, tires and timing belt/water pump, was a fuel pump left me stranded once on my 03 GLI. Otherwise great experience, they have all been a blast to daily drive and they're easy to tune to your own style.
