2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive 

2009 and 2010 were the best modeled Jettas. It seems like the recent redesign was a step backwards imo.

Agree 100% on the notion that we need more diesels. I just got a 2009 TDI Jetta and I'm loving it - and I can't help but snicker at my hybrid pals who drive boring, slow cars while I get the same, or better MPG. Can't wait to get it performance tuned. I'll get 50 more hp and at least the same torque increase while improving my MPG. Diesels Rule

I had a 2004 tdi manual when I was in high school and then my first year of college as a commuter student. I loved that car so much!!! I really want to get another tdi. I never had an issue with it. Even after the mechanic ruined the engine and it was spitting smoke everywhere it still started like a champ and would limp it's way to were ever you needed it. True loyal reliable car.

I bought this car a month ago and this is my first car ...My family want me to get prius and i hated it. I was looking into volkswagen eos or CC cus it's fancy..When i saw this car at dealer i give it a chance to test drive cus interior is amazing. It's simple car and more practical.. just what i needed. Eos and CC have like window or roof problem that could occur and it will cost $500 to fix each time for each window or roof may be much more so i end up buying this simple little cute car. This is my first car and i drove some of my family car..this is easiest to drive and comfortable. Plus Disel are cheaper then regular gas at my area nowadays. Couldn't be happier ..and this car drove fast enough to change lane and get over other cars. Never felt lack of power in this car.

I've a 2010 Jetta 2.5 L gasoline engine. Absolutely love the car, the transmission is not DSG but it is still very fast especially in sport mode. It never fails to put a smile of my face and the handling is phenomenal. If you're looking at a compact car. Dont bother with a civic or corolla, for the quality and reliability you are getting in the Jetta, it's a no brainer. Das Auto!!!

Fantastic!! Thanks so much for reviewing this one. VW actually used to offer a TDI in the Passat (2004-2005 I believe). It was the last great Passat (based on Audi A4 platform) with a second to none interior...45mpg

I really like this Jetta! Love the diesels to!

I have this 2010 Jetta but with the Wolfsburg edition which has great power. Very nice to drive. One thing I wish is having the leather seats!

i have a 2010 jetta tdi sedan and i must say it is the best car i have ever owned at any price! it also has sooooo many features that you didn't cover. What an excellent car! I do wonder why everyone doesn't buy one. Diesel motors have less moving parts and i hope to get 500,000 miles out of mine!

VW has updated the Jetta for 2013, we like the changes, hopefully, we can get a video of one soon.

Great video. I'm considering this model, thanks for the info

I just got a 2010 Jetta sportwagen TDI. It has 80,000 miles and its run really smooth. I was between the TDI or the Prius but once I test drove the TDI I was instantly hooked. The Torque, the steering feedback, the Panoramic Sun Roof, the quality materials inside the car and that DSG. I just couldn't say no. Hopefully it holds up good and I get none of that VW electrical problems thats its known for. We shall see.

actually,volkwagen has been in the hybrid scene since 2011 in the new touareg. Great video

This is the perfect Jetta IMO

great review!

Just picked up a 2010. Drove it hard in sport mode the entire first tank of fuel and averaged 32 mpg. This car does a great job at providing an enjoyable driving experience with great fuel milage. The DSG maintenence is pricey and must not be skipped, but it is a very very sweet transmission.

Great vid! my grandmother bought an 06' 1.9tdi brand new when they came out we have taken it on many trips and have averged over 45 mpg everytime even through the smokies. It currently has over 170k the only bad part is the servicing esp. at the 100k mark is around $1k, she has only had a couple of issues like the fly wheel and a faulty brake caliper. Keep them coming!

The iPod jack is up on the top all the way to the right in the glovebox.....or at least it is in the 07 my family has. Broke 73k on my dad's 07 Jetta 2.5 yesterday and still NO problems and no creaks or rattles or anything inside. Overall I really love the car its still great and brand new looking for an almost 6 year old car and it really is more upscale looking and feeling than ANYTHING else in the class. Not to mention its a fun car to drive even with the automatic!

I agree. In the San Francisco Bay Area, diesel is regularly priced around the same as premium gas, so for a diesel to make fiscal sense, there is a lot of cost/benefits math involved.

I bought one of these 2 months ago with 70k on the clock and it drives like a new car.loads of power and comfort and looks very stylish.

Nice Review Of 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. 😁

video helped persuade me to buy a 2010 tdi. Love the car. No major complaints. Good MPG pretty fun to drive. More fun then my b5 passat 2.8. good handling. Comfy interior and ride.

Diesel is priced in between mid grade and premium around this area

My mom has the 06 with the older 1.9 tdi campanella white with 86k miles on it and still running strong

I have a Jetta 2010 2.5. Love it!!!

good review

Great Video. Do you think you could make a video of the land rover LR3

In NY (on Long Island), the price of diesel yesterday was $4.25 (9) and I used and paid $3.73 (9) for regular 87 octane - what our car recommends and we use. 50c/gallon is a huge difference, which is why Priuii are so prevelant around here plus you can use the HOV lane during rush hour in a Prius and not have a passenger. Love the diesel option for it's torque and improved fuel economy, but cost and convenience out weigh it for now - at least around here.

Great Discovery. high-pitched quilt

Very cool! I do like the TDI Passat though.

Well done. Thx. Just bought a 2010 it’s been sitting 2 years. What should

Great review man!

i own the 2009 TDI in blue it is a great car and i would recommend this car to anyone wanting to save gas. i get 32-35 mpg city and 42 hwy

That was mid 2012 when they went to discs. And trust me after working for VW for four years I know the SE 2.5 and TDI and up trim levels get soft touch dash. And yea I forgot about the suspension but they are considering bringing it back into the SEL

I would love to see a review of the new 2014 Jetta 1.8t model. Curious too see how the new 1.8t delivers...

Correction VW updated the jetta for 2012 with all rear discs, for 2013 se and up they added metal trim inside and chrome exterior strip, now all models even gli are missing rear ac vents, soft touch material is only reserved for hybrid gli or sel models. rear suspension is still twist beam on all tdi and 2.5 engines, gli and hybrid get independent suspension.

Great vid can you guys do a focus electric

yes! i have a 2006 MKV Jetta 2.5. gives me no problems.

Sofyan! The 2013 Jetta SE and up will all have the upscale interior! You shoulve said that since people were forgetting about the Jetta and buying something else because of its interior. BTW discs are all standard now, and fully auto 4 windows with one touch up down every window which you cannot say for the Focus. And rear suspension on the SE and up is also standard, and next year with the 1.8T replacing the I5, it will be a nice car again!

We will try our best, the mk3 and mk4 Jetta's are getting pretty old now, and most are in rough shape in the used car market.

Hey Sofyan, I`ve been watching your videos for quite a lok time on both chanels actually. Do you think you can review a mk3 or mk4 jetta? Preferably manual and diesel. Btw, congrats on your marriage proposal, really happy for you. Thanks!

I wonder why americans love the jetta.in germany it´s hard to find jettas on the roads even though they´re from here. 50 % are diesel cars here these days but i don´t like them too much.the diesel shines at high speeds(100mph +)where its way more fuel efficient than the gas equivalent.but as i would live in the us or canada i would stick with the gas motor since it is fuel efficient too at highway speeds,has lower maintainance costs and sounds way better. i like the channel. best from germany :)

One of my best friends mom has a white 2006 jetta tdi, the first year of the jetta v tdi I believe. I would own one.

The TDIs are best. But I wouldnt buy a diesel unless I'm looking at full size HD pickup. Great video!

The mk6 jetta in europe does have the rear vents, some people though retrofit the us spec ones with the rear vents. and some select mk5 jettas us spec ones have dual zone climate, they took it away for the us market though after a few years.

I agree on the fact that they're should be more diesel in America other than expensive hybrids, I mean I don't have a problem with people driving boring unattractive hybrids, but I just wish diesels on cars, not just trucks would be a option for other automotive brands other than Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen.

Just a little tip: Look at the camera lens, not at the LCD screen. That way you'll appear to be looking directly at the viewer, not off to the side. :-)

do you think this would be a good first car for a 16 year old?

2theRedline Would you choose this TDI over the Jetta TDI 2011-13 for its outer design and inner material quality? I really want one of these.

Can you do a review on a Acura rsx type-s?

This mk5 was sooo much better than the current jetta. They should of just stuck with the upscaleness of it.

There are wayyyyyy more diesels (TDI, Bluetec.. etc) compared to hybrids now in southern Ontario!

I'd go for the gli if I would get the new jetta, i do wonder if it will really be the 1.8t or the 1.4t that the us will get.

engine is still cold, and not allows you to get more that 3000 rpm when pressing gas. Its intelligent and not allowing the driver to harm the engine.

I like VW TDIs but their turbo lag surprised me

Lucky! In Kansas, it is WAY more then premium!

Would you say it rides better then a Avalon? I know there two different classes.

Nice video. Im thinking of this vs a Volt. I just cant make up my mind. Kind of disappointing it dosent have push to start.

i once heard these struts (6:01) are very weak, if you lower it unevenly (pushing from only one side), they will bend and then trunk wont close. Still true?

My dad just bought a 2008 model jetta with 42500 miles or 68000 km will it be a good first diesel car for us and its a manual with top of the line variant

I'm so confused how to you check if your transmission is bad in the car ? I got one and I'm kinda annoyed by how it's built

I'd love one of these if they weren't so expensive.

Diesels would be more popular in the states if the fuel was priced like it is here in Canada the same or lower than regular.

I also like MK5's shelf-like dashboard, more practical than the stylish but useless dash in other compacts...

diesel's are great but there aren't many diesel stations in my area

About a year ago diesel was cheaper than regular. Now it's about 5 - 10 cent more than regular. In Vancouver anyways

How much would a Volkswagen Jetta like that cost, any pros and cons, and cost of insurance and maintenance?

These diesels have a ton of torque. Enough to snap your passenger's head back

The steering wheel on the left side seems right to me, the one on the right like it is here in England, seems wrong.

Can you find a Chevy Colorado or a Nissan Frontier if you can?

Ah yes the TDI, what probably 90% of Jetta's here in the UK use. In face most cars here are diesel, a traffic jam sounds like a tractor meet. Happily our car uses good old petrol

I spy wit my eyes a red monte carlo in the background

I was going to jump off a cliff if i heard him say "after all it is a jetta" one more time

The iPod/mp3 aux outlet is in the armrest?

I would like if you some Subaru's please would like to see a good review on them not that many good reviews out their

TDIs do get better mileage, but wouldn't the higher price of diesel defeat the purpose since it would basically balance out with paying less for gasoline with worse mileage?

better handling than fords new hybrid's i'm guessing

The diesels will run for 300,000 plus miles with proper maintenance.

The acceleration is impresssive for a 140HP car.

Where can i get this car????😳😳

Did you say the hp was 130?

How come I can hear you a lot more on the left?

Can you get this car, the 2010 Jetta tdi, with real leather? Do you have to buy vinyl/leatherette? .

So 9 years ago people still thought that diesel would amount to something

it is also strange that afterthe 2010 model, VW took away tons of key features of the car to reduce the price. Soft touch dash, movable arm rest, rear discs, independ. rear suspension, rear outlet, trunk struts,folding seats, locking rear seats, electric front seats etc,etc,etc. they made the 2011 into junk....now you need to add a special fluid into a container mounted in the trunk that keeps emissions down cause it no longer has a cad. converter.

Is this a common rail or PD engine?

Are these cars dependable?

I want to know what color the car is No.

Pero por que JETTA? Esa linea en México y America Latina se llaman BORA. Con motor 2.5 litros y 5 en linea. Bueno el de tu video es bonito tambien.

Hello, I'm thinking of buying this car but I'm skeptical about it's reliability compared something like the Corolla 2010.

Why does the front look like the Golf MK5

how much could I get this car for?

The best selling car in the US and the world is the Toyota Corolla

This is WAY bigger than a civic and corolla lol

Cn

I know I'll get hate for this comment but in my opinion the mk5 is the nicest jetta till this day and looks as if it will remain so..owned 2 and loved them both dearly....since its last year in 2010 it has gotten cheap looking and build quality has gone down.. Looked at the lastest one and it's absolutely ugly and cheap. Just my opinion.

its torquey but its not making that much power in full line accel& themaintence and shit on the diesel i personally think i would be better off with the turbo or 5 cylinder.the economy is in the upper 30's and cost to own is WAY less.yeah yeah fun to drive factor but there is one thing that other cars just CANNOT do turn off in traffic. i couldent give a rat's ass about hybrid reputation ours has 108K miles and needed nothing but tires.has 4 speeding tickets under it and can move when u want it.

That diesel noise is too much for my ears as I have Autism.

Diesels don't sell and hybrids do for a few reasons. One, diesel is far more expensive than unleaded, especially in CA. 2, VW is the main seller of diesels and their quality is crap. 3, Toyota is the main seller of hybrids and their quality is good.

nice car, crappy company.
