Volkswagen Jetta [2013-2015] User Reviews

Exterior Very stylish car. Pleasure to be in because of the stylish design. However they cud have changed front headlamps and daylight a little.. (i love dis ones also but thn vento and polo shud hav been different)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable car.. however it shud have audio controls at back cos car mostly driven by chauffers. problematic for 3 to sit in the rear.. having said that i jss love the interiors and othr features in the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very gr8 as of now. it features in many VWs , skodas n audis. the dsg gearbox is a pleasure to drive. car goes to high speeds vry quickly. sports mode is an added advantage.

Ride Quality & Handling Automatic cars are always pleasure to drive especially on mumbai roads. hadling is superb.

Final Words I chose d jetta over laura and i am glad about my decision. i am in absolute love with dis car. love the black color. very good car. 

Areas of improvement Shud offer more features in the top variant atleast just like laura L&K. less arrogance of vw dealers wud do no harm. 

Exterior Bought the 2015 Jetta Face lifted model a month ago and have driven it for 700 kms. Exteriors look extremely good After the facelift. The bouynet could have been slightly higher. Tail lights are very Audi like. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious and comfortable for the Highline version. Unlike the previous models, the face lifted 2015 model's Air conditioner is extremely powerful and cools the interior within a minute while it is 40 outside. Running day lights with auto head lamps are the added features in the 2015 Jetta Highline. Flat bottom steering wheel is very sporty to look at and extremely accurate and responsive while driving.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent common rail diesel engine. Superb pick up. DSG noisy and not smooth in the upshift. Fuel Economy is bad for a diesel engine. Gave 10 / L during the current summer month with the AC on. With the heavy diesel, the car looks very planted to the road.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent. Ride qualty - Very smooth drive with vey little body roll. The high quality rear suspension makes the rear  passengers   vey comfortable. Most bumps do not reach you. Very accurate and responsive steering.

Final Words Highly understated car. Bit expensive yet the top version of jetta was 7 lakhs cheaper than the base model of Audi A3. Surely, the brand value of the Audi A3 is missing but then one has to decide whether he is an internally or externally driven person. There is a trade-off here between brand value and getting less for more in the A3.

Areas of improvement Jetta proves, at times, to be a slightly bigger car for the congested Indian roads. Do not buy this or another big luxury car if you have to frquently drive through congested city roads. Jetta is ideally suited for the highways or the 4 lane city roads.

Exterior

 Excellent exterior with masculing appeal. Excellent finish of paint and chrome work.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Great space - better than BMW3, extremely comfortable, Good interior - but VW could have given more chrome on centre console. Need improvement on leather coverings on door trims. Sunshade is required on rear and back passenger windows.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Refined engine with great mileage. Don't feel you are driving a diesel car ! German enginnering is really better than Japanese !!! Super suspension. Extremely refined gear box (AT). Love to drive it.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Superb suspension. extremely well handling on curves and traffic.  Feel safe at every speed.

Final Words

Very good car. Except bluetooth connectivity which does not cost much (to VW). Sunshades are required for rear as well as rear passenger windows.

Areas of improvement  

 Need to give bluetooth & GPS for such a priced car. Also required is auto closing of side mirrors when car is locked. Also as stated sunshades are required for rear and rear passenger windows.

Exterior

Only drawback they should have offered FOG Lamps in all Variants of the Car, The Car has Good Finish and the Tails Lights are really Designed Very Well.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Features are not Apt to the Car with such Price Tag, Music System is Really Poor, Problem is that VW India does not have any information on whether we can update the Music System or Not. Also the Rear AC Vent Design Needed to be improved the Person cannot easily shift the legs across.Ideal for 4 People only. MOST IMPORTANT GUYS WILL SMALL KIDS PLEASE CHECK THE LOCK SYSTEM IN THE CAR PRIOR TO PURCHASE AS THE CAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE WHILE DRIVING _ VW DEALER INFORMED COMPULSARY TO MAKE CHILD SEATED IN REAR SEAT WITH CHILD LOCK. THEY SAY THIS LOCK IS DONE FOR YOUR SAFTY INCASE OF ACCIDENTS OR FLOODING THE DOOR CAN BE EASILY LOCKED.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 This is the Best Part Execllent Responsive Engine Drove About 3500 Kms in nearing 2 Months, Good Milleage Gives me 14 Kmpl in City like Mumbai and Highway Goes about 21 Kmpl (If Driven at Constant Speed of 110Km/ Hr) Still More Speed with Reduce average to 17 - 18 Kmpl. Gear Box is Slick & Good.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride Quality & Handling is really good, the Car Addresses Sharp Coners very well at High Speed.

Final Words

NOT REALLY THE IDEAL CAR TO BUY IN TERMS OF FEATURERS AND INDIAN MENTALITY BUT GOOD GERMAN ENGINEERING .

Areas of improvement  

VW SHOULD IMPROVE SERVICE AND ALSO UNDERSTAND INDIAN DRIVING CONDITIONS.
