Exterior Nice exterior, good paint quality, Bice alloy wheel design, bi xenon head lights.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Good quality interiors, good space and great comfort in its class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great performance, decent fuel economy & The DSG automatic gearbox is amongst the best in the business and offers supremely smooth shift quality. With a light foot, the DSG upshifts at a really low rpm. This keeps the drive relaxed and also maximizes fuel efficiency. On the other hand, keep the accelerator buried into the floor in “S” mode, and the Jetta will shift at anywhere between 4,600 – 5,000 rpm, with lightning quick upshifts that are impossible to replicate in a manual. Downshifts at high-speed in kick down mode do result in a lag though; if in a hurry, use the paddle shifters. The paddle shift function is fairly obedient, and will even allow for aggressive downshifts. Using the paddle shift + S mode is fun on your favourite country road. But, for most other driving conditions, just let the computer control the excellent DSG gearbox. DSGs are generally considered to be a generation or two ahead of what the competition offers. Just hope that this gearbox doesn’t get the same reliability complaints that have been reported in other VW group cars. The 6 speed manual transmission is decent to use, though GTO adds that it didn’t feel as slick / smooth as the one in the Yeti. The clutch is light enough and doesn’t require much effort to engage. Note that the top 3 ratios of the manual are overdrive.

Drive quality is really good, The engine and gearbox and driveabilty. All are awesome. It is drivers car. The car is rock solid around the bends at 180kmph. I love my car only for its drivability.

Small issues that increases the TOTAL COST of ownership. everyyear apart from the 15-18k on the servicing there would be an additional average spend of 20k on the vehicle. Sometimes it is the break pads. Sometime it is some electrical issue. The battery always geos down every winter if you dont use the car for 3-4 days (that annual vacation that we take around christmas/newyear).

Major maintanence issues:

1) Roof cloth came down in the 5th year of usage and car is around 55,000 km running = INR 40,000

2) The paint peeled off in the second year =  12,000

3) The break pads and front shock absorbers = 20,000

4) Tyers wornoff in 4yr... = 40,000

5) Some part to deal with breaking =  15,000

So folks to conclude...

Buy this car only after you factor in a big bite in your wallet for maintenance...

Please also factor in the paitience you need to when you deal with VW customer care number 18002090909 / 18001020909 

Happy driving...

Amazing gearbox and Amazing drive qualityNot for Indian Conditions.. paint peeling off..roof cloth coming down...avg annual spend 40k

I bought a Passat three years back. It was my worst decision. It is an apology to German technology. In three years they have replaced two electronic module, alterantor, comprseeor, rear camera, fly wheel., Blower motor, cooloing water pump. The senior management incl MD do not respond to mails. They are asking me to change my brake pads and discs every 25,000 km. I have not changed even onec on my Toyota car after 65,000 km. The service centre claims that the xtended warranty is only for parts and not labour. The servicing has to be done every 15,000 km. Just service bill will be close to Rs 50,000 and you can be sure they will find another 50,000 as replacements. This for a high end German car.

I presume the story is same for Polo, Vento and other cars. Do not get fooled by initial car features. The total cost of ownership of VW cars is too high. I wonder how VW in Germany are accepting this poor quality.

Som Mittal.

It is ok as long as it is not in the service centre which is oftenPassat is a poorly engineered car. Too many problems. I guess similar issues with other models

I’ve been using Volkswagen Jetta for around 5 years now, it remains one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. My car is the one with 2.0 tdi AT, the dsg automatic transmission is just simply superb. The quick downshifts make it ideal for overtaking. This cars is just similar to Audi A4 and A3, even though they’re double this car price. Jetta has got great comfort,handling and moreover it never breaks down. The company service is also comparatively good. Jetta is one of the perfect car you can buy with ?20-30 lakhs price bracket.

Value for money car. No one can beat it in this range. Safety of person is most prior and vw gave us. This car is safe , fully loaded & range car. Very comfortable and spacious car.

All jetta cars will have ac problem after 3 years and have to change compressor and blower. It will cost one lakh. Service cost will be very high after 45000 kims. Very costly to maintain it after 3 years.but it's a safety car and no doubt about it. Better provide extended Warrenty for 5 years or improve ac and blower quality.

The car is fine, nice to drive, VW servicing network is poor and part supply from VW is pathetic .Dealer don't know when part needed for repairing will come and one is at their mercy , one such dealer in Bangalore is Elite motors VW is unresponsive to customer complaints ,they are left to mercy of ineffective service dealers , AC compressor bad despite being imported , it's horror story

It is a very nice car I purchased it from my family member, and it has more space than Kizashi I like its look the most, the transmission and engine still going on 2 lakh 56 thousand kilometres.

Volkswagen Jetta gives a great driving experience but at the time of resale faced many issues and got less price comparing other cars. It is servicing and maintenance was also costly and spare parts were difficult to find in the open or local market.
