2005 Volkswagen Jetta Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

It is Reliable, and good on gas. It is Comfortable, and spacious. Handles good, and still sporty. Good for commuting, automatic but still allows for Manual shifting. Safe, and economic. Leather seats, fairly good factory sound system.

I absolutely love that it is a turbo diesel. It gets great mileage. It has a great sound system. I think it drives great even with a lot of miles on it and I think it could get up to 300,000 miles on it easily.

It's a small vehicle but still has a lot of room if you wanted to go on a weekend getaway. Perfect for someone who feels more comfortable in a small car, a college student, a new driver. It's really good on the highway.

This car has sports drive, you can switch from automatic to manual gear shift. It also has German engineering, which is awesome. It has a nice sleek look to it and great running engine. Most parts for it can be found fairly cheap.

Some good qualities about the VW Jetta is the design of the car it is current and up to date. They are long lasting cars. The gas mileage on the cervix awesome. You don't constantly have to fill up the gas tank.

Not the best in snow. Repairing yourself is extremely complicated compared to other cars. Recommend going to the dealer for repairs. The seats could be more Comfortable, and the windshield is very narrow, so seeing the traffic lights when at intersection is difficult at times.

I think that the interior is a little small. There's no auxiliary input to the sound system. All of the fluids that are up to specifications for the car are very expensive and difficult to find in stores.

The gas mileage is not that great around the city. I would find myself filling up every 5 days. Also, the computer in it caused the car to die on the road frequently causing me to have to get my car towed.

It requires a good amount of upkeep to keep it running well. A lot of the parts come at a pretty hefty price because it is German made. Other than that there are no other cons to the Volkswagen Jetta.

The one con that always gets me is when having to change the tires. The tires come with special locks in them. Which is good so no one can steal your tires but bad if you misplaced the tool needed to change the tire.
