Just bought one in black. Paid under 22k, such a steal with what you get! Even has travel assist and centerlane stuff, basically drives itself on the highway!
@@mjweissman6309 after tweaking the factory unit's equalizer settings to go up in bass and treble and mids down a bit, I have to say it's not all that bad. obviously not a premium sound, but it's really not bad either depending on the quality of the source audio. @mjweissman6309
Got a quote for a brand new left over 2023 model for 18k. As long as you can haggle, they will bring down the price. Some dealers have a few left overs and are itching to get rid of the 23 model. Pretty good considering it includes 2 year maintenance and driving assist package.
Hard to find manuals now a days that's all i drive. This is a good value for the money I would buy this if i was in the market for new ride. 22k 6 speed all led its solid with 160hp and 180torque.
Not only are manuals nearly impossible to find nowadays, but some of the manufacturers have them only on their top of the line sporty models. I just want a basic model with a smooth manual gearbox and good fuel economy. If I want sportiness, that's what my GSRX-1000 is for.
This is definitely the value of the century, I mean it’s literally a baby Audi A4, the build quality looks great, fuel economy is great as well, it doesn’t feel cheap like the Nissan Sentra, this is definitely top 3 first cars in my book
I called the sales man yesturday to evaluate my suv so I can switch it for a Jetta! I actually can't wait to test drive it! I'm a Honda girly but Honda got sooo expensive for what you get. And I love the style of the new Jetta ❤!
I totally agree! I used to have a manual 2019 GLI and had back aches for road trips (between norther and southern Cal) over 5-8 hours driving a day. It took me a couple of weeks to recover. As for manual transmission experience, it's much better and smoother than my 2023 Subaru Crosstrek manual, but it's a 228hp vs 152hp.
100% same experience with the seats. Had a 21 R-line with leatherette seats. After a couple of hours would definitely develop some lower back aches, although the seats felt comfy 🤷♂️ hoping the cloth seats in the 24 I am buying feel better!
Absolutely great video and test drive. You were very thorough with your presentation and description. You look like a natural driving the stick shift. All in all, a very enjoyable video to watch. Looks like you really enjoyed driving the Jetta, and you gave me a good sense of the vehicle driving dynamics.
Nice evaluation..I gather that VW has upped their game on assembly and material quality. Engine uses a timing belt and I understand it is an interference design. If car proves reliable and at least average on repairability, it deserves to succeed. It must ovrrcome a lot of negative public perception, however. Will watch closely, in the meantime I remain a Civic and Corolla fan and do drive a Civic.
A couple of questions… The white exterior and the black interior… and that comes with a gray ceiling and sunvisors, etc.? I thought it came beige. But if the roof liner is gray, that’s awesome. It probably looks very nice contrasted with the black interior. Also, did you see a way to have your current fuel economy and which gear you are in inside the tachometer at the same time? Your speed can/will default to the bottom right of the display. So, if there’s a way to have your tachometer your speedometer, your current/instant fuel economy, and your gear indicator in your display, no matter how it is set up or where it is displayed… That would be awesome. Any idea?
Styling inside and out is the same. There have been some small tweaks. Don’t quote me on this, but I believe for 2024 the leather wrapped steering wheel, blind spot warning and adaptive cruise are not standard over the 2023 model year.
You can have a display that shows the tachometer and a digital speedometer. In the Jetta SEL comes a larger digital dash that will display the tachometer and speedometer in a more traditional sense.
