2019 VW Jetta Review | Flawed Functionality

Affordable well-built cars are vanishing in favor of larger expensive and complicated SUVs. The VW Jetta has long been a solid and mature car for the masses. But in 2019 there are many other options that may make this car less appealing compared to the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, and Mazda3. If you are looking for a new or used cheaper transportation check out our review.

Great car review once again. Really hits the sweet spot and describes the every day foibles of living with a car, including an emotional aspect. Great industry knowledge and targeting cars in the price ranges that 99% of the people can afford is smart. Can't wait for the next video, I don't even care what car is being reviewed, I learn a little more about the car industry and its thought process with each video.

Your reviews remind me of older Car and Driver articles, just unfiltered thoughts from a knowledgeable enthusiast

[AudiophileTubes]

Kudos to VW for not using crappy CVT transmissions!

[serge]

The cinematography and in-depth knowledge of the car puts this channel leagues above other "car review" channels

I love my new 19 Jetta!!!
I love how people pick apart a car this cheap. I got a loaded SE for $21K. I cant complain. I think its a very nice car

[avlisk]

I always appreciate the uncluttered lines of a VW.

[Affalterbach]

Super mature, will not look dated in ten years. A great buy for $18k without feeling super cheap. Agree.

[alexandermakrianis]

No crazy waves or curves, that's why I like this car and decided to buy one.

[MeynMotorGroup]

Hope you had a great Christmas. Huge congratulations on reaching 200k. Might have been overdue but, that’s ok. I hope you have a successful 2019.

What I love about this channel is the absolute honesty. Too many reviews out there pick only the positive aspects and minimize the negative.

I recently purchased a 2019 Jetta with a 6 speed manual transmission. The interior is very comfortable and easy to work with. The car in incredibly quite. I love mine!!

Just bought this car and this review is spot on. VW says the torque converter sound issue is normal (I noticed it immediately and went on forums), but I'm going to bring it in just so they have it on record in case there's a recall or anything. Really good review, all the thoughts shared here are what I had in mind when I bought the car, and describing the interior as a 'sterile space' I think really summarizes the character of the vehicle and people who drive vehicles like this. 10/10

Well I got the 2019 SEL trim line back in July and has about four thousand miles on it. Two things that I don't like about the vehicle. It is a little bit noisier override then I like and some of the quality of the Interior or a little bit cheaper looking. Other than that this car is an awesome car for the price point. I was looking at the Honda Accord when I was looking at the Jetta. I love the Honda Accord even though it's a different segment it was close to the same price. But you get so much more car in the Jetta in the warranty for the price than you do a Honda. I would have had to go up to over $30, 000 on the Honda Accord trim line in order to get the same that the Jetta offers at 23000. The lines are sexy and it's a definitely a good running car with plenty of power. Love the beats sound, sounds are quality and the high and lows are perfect. The ambient lighting makes the interior at night. The 2019 jetta to me is just perfect in the price range . Just a few cutbacks that I didn't like, other than that it's a great car.

This review, as with the other SavageGeese productions, is a work of art (and, I must add, the absence of Mr. Turbowski only increases my appreciation). I feel we'd be unlikely to find the less-than-complementary remarks about interior noise(s), marginal seat cushioning, and unrefined transmission behavior from other reviewers. Thanks for the super-comprehensive, balanced and highly-useful reviews that are a pleasure to watch. Nobody does it better (yes, that was a song).

[mstevem]

Very underrated car reviewer on YouTube.

[MythuSiva]

While most reviews are quick and shallow -- I really enjoy your videos that go in depth and you've consistently managed to deliver it without much dryness. Keep at it guys!

[FlowStateNewOrleans]

It's sort of a weird review. When you're comparing it to cars in its class, you seem to generally think it's one of the better ones. It's almost like you're dinging VW for created a car that gives a first impression of being nicer than its class. By my way of thinking, that's a plus rather than a minus.

[rickhayner]

I really appreciate this review. Most reviews look at the loaded up versions of any particular model. So it is refreshing to see a review of an entry level car. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[pduffyusa]

I enjoy how you look underneath the car in your reviews, everyone should do it!

Talk about timing...this week I have a 6MT Jetta S. It has the same footwell buzz around redline. It also retains the kickdown switch accelerator pedal from the automatic, which feels weird when you’re driving stick. Great review 👍
