2015 Volkswagen Jetta Review and Test Drive of the German Wonder

It’s a mystery. The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta is America’s most affordable German-engineered compact sedan, with well-equipped versions boasting a strong and frugal turbo four-cylinder, automatic transmission, navigation, 17-inch alloys and lots more for under $24,500. The lineup also includes a 46-mpg diesel, a green hybrid, and the GLI sport sedan. All get freshened styling for 2015 to go along with terrific road manners and a spacious cabin. So why are sales falling? Looks? Value? Competition from Japan and Korea? Suspect reliability? Here are some answers.

Great review! However, I would love to see more about the TDI SEL with the 6speed manual. There are very few reviews of that model, I can't wait to get my hands on one!

please also review the acceleration and the car's power.  Its not just for super cars because that comes in factor for daily drivers. People who drive a lot want a car like these and driving can be really frustration for daily drivers esp if they're going a long distance. First thing you want to do after a long drive is probably rest for a while, cars with more space and better interior with more power don't' give you that feeling.
You don't want to feel like you're paddling a bike either.

WRONG the S model does offer push start button if you get the technology package.

And then vw puts a torsion beam back into the 2019 and took away all engine choices but the dreary 1.4 turbo with 150 horse power.
I'm not sure what they were thinking there.

2016 Jetta coming! Look for VW NMC...and keep on waiting.

[RobertBrumley]

It's a good driver but it's ugly! Looks very dated. Maintenance cost are much higher than Japanese cars.

Things that bug me about this Jetta. Poor build quality, bland styling, outdated technology (a 5 inch nav???) SE trims and above should have LED DRLS standard with projection headlights. Some people want real leather, lets give it as an option and lets bump up the plastic quality.
