2005 Volkswagen Jetta

Pros: Fun, Economical, Great Resale Value, Safety

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Its a Volkswagen and a Jetta-It cannot be beat.

Review: When it comes to word association, the word Volkswagen always brings one response. That would be "German." This car has all of the outstanding German engineering that you can get for a reasonable price. The only non-German thing about it is its ...

Pros: Phenominal mileage, dependable, fun to drive.

Cons: Small back seat. No other problems.

The Bottom Line: Best commuter car I have ever seen. and FUN to drive. STILL the best after 2 years!!

Review: I bought this car to replace my 1997 Saturn SL2. I needed a car that would get good mileage, be fun to drive, and be able to tow a small trailer when needed. All I can say is this car has met every expectation and more. The mileage is unbelievable. I ...

Pros: Peppy off the line, holds the road amazingly well. Interior very plush. Very nice car.

Cons: Brake and accelerator pedals to close. Center console top adjusts forward and blocks drink holder.

The Bottom Line: Fun car that doubles as a very classy ride. Economical, great handling and very nice interior make this a very nice way to spend my morning and evening commute.

Review: This is a great car. Very comfortable and compares in looks to the Lexus GS300. We just bought the first one here in Kansas and it is amazing. If you are familiar with the Jetta's, go look again at this one. A total re-vamp of the car and it is ...

Pros: Wheels, Engine, Seats, Suspension, Body Kit...

Cons: The backordered seat cover. A little difficult to drive smoothly.

Review: I love my car. Unfortunately, so does the body shop. I had my car for six weeks before I was hit by a drunk driver. It's been in the body shop ever since (six weeks and counting). The problem: the car has seat-mounted airbags (which saved my passenger ...

Pros: engine, 5-speed manual transmission, standard features

Cons: $25,000 for a base compact?

The Bottom Line: Please see the review

Review: A few weeks ago, I read in the local city advertising paper that the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta is 1/2 the car of one of their high end sports cars - the Lambo Gallardo. I believe he mentioned the fact that VW owns Lamborghini, and that that car has a 5.0 L ...

Pros: Great gas mileage

Cons: Electronic problems

The Bottom Line: Great money-saving fun-to-drive car.

Review: I bought the 2005 VW Jetta TDI new in October 2004. At the time, I was looking for a car that had good gas mile age and was fun to drive. The car has alot of get up and go. I had no problems the first year, however I have had several problems with the ...

Pros: Good fuel economy, quality interior and nice overall fit and finish.

Cons: underpowerd, generic looking.

The Bottom Line: This car is designed for those who want good fuel economy and a quality near luxury product.

Review: I took a very extended test drive with the new Jetta TDI sedan. Because I do not own the car yet, I will keep the review short and to the point. By the way, the other reviews on this car pretty much nail the issues right on the head. Read the other ...

Pros: Occupant Safety, agressive front end, GLI upgrades, more room.

Cons: Lower cost interior materials verses the last model in the base 2.5 edition.

The Bottom Line: Choose the GLI model

Review: Why would VW create two cars so similar? I fail to think that the Passat will get much attention as the Jetta is built on the same platform and shares so much mechanically. Does VW think we will purchase the Passat because it has better engine ...

Pros: Great interior space. Awesome fuel economy. Large trunk. Fun to drive!

Cons: Maintenance must be done at dealership.

The Bottom Line: A great car with with great fuel economy!

Review: This is my second Jetta TDI (see my review of my 2003 TDI). I traded in my beloved 2003 for the larger 2005.5 Jetta due to an addition to my family and the need to fit a carseat in the back. I have owned the car since 2005 and now have 57,000 miles on ...

Pros: Fast little bugger, Stereo totally rocks, and the trunk is enormous

Cons: the cup holders aren't as snug as we'd like them to be

The Bottom Line: Great price and package. If you're just starting out and safety, craftsmanship and reliability are your main concerns, then this is the vehicle for you.

Review: Mom, I definitely have you to thank for convincing me that VWs where the way to go. My husband and I have loved the whole Jetta experience and were not too excited when my parents suggested a Jetta. After searching and testing driving car after car we ...
