 This is my 3rd VW Jetta.  I have driven these vehicles for over 10 years now.  This one is nice, but the 5 cylinder burns much more than my last 4 cylinder and without much more pep.   My real complaint is the brakes, I am at 23,898 miles and about to change the rear brakes, AGAIN, for a cost of around 370 dollars.  Coming from vehicles (VW included) that I went almost 50,000 miles on rear brakes this is disturbing to say the least.   Still a great car, a few flaws and electronic issues as every Jetta I have owned or known anyone to have owned has had and would still recommend it if they fixed the brakes.  Hope this helped.
