I owned a 2007 jetta wolfsburg edition and loved it. It got totaled on 2-14-11 and I miss it badly. Thinking about buying another one.

Less than impressed.

I’ve had my 08 Jetta 15 months, bought it with 11 miles on it. I experienced a whacky lurching within the first 1,000 miles that the service dept could not explain. Now I have electrical issues with my door locks-the back passenger side and driver side doors won’t lock, and when they do, they won’t unlock. My service experience has been TERRIBLE! They take the car for a full day and don’t even fix the problem, let alone give you a loaner!

After owning a Nissan Pathfinder for 3 years, I say Japanese cars all the way!

My mother came down for a visit and she was given a Jetta 2.5 (2008).She wanted me to drive her down to see her Mother in Miami.She said “you can drive my rental” Needless-to-say, I was VERY impressed with the exeleration.It really gets out of it’s way.The tourque converter mated well to provide effective torque in the powerbands.The layout is smart BUT the ONLY two things I hated were; You have to lift up the [right] arm rest to insert the seat belt clip.I also felt the egress and degress akward.I am 6’0″ and 230#’s I kept hitting my head on the A pillar-roof of the car, everytime I got in or out! The electric windows are not like American cars. They are Fully Automatic on ALL the windows (usually only the drivers window has the “Toll booth” option) I had drove the car for 3 days. It was a little confining around my head. I am used to my SUV.

You guys are both wrong. Jettas are made in Mexico. They are just as reliable no matter where they are built.

The Jetta Wolfsburgs’ final assembly point is also Mexico, which happens to be a state of the art factory.

the only ones made in Germany are the 12,500 Wolfburg Editions. I’ve had the new body style since 2005.5 and it is rock solid with absolutely no issues… oh and made in Mexico.

The thing is, so many reviews say that the jetta is not that great and many things go wrong with it. But that is if it is one thats made in Mexico. The ones assembled in Germany are much more reliable.
