Maint. Is most important for any car. I bought a brand new VW Fox in 1989 and put over 300k miles on her with no issues at all except regular maint. Of 3k oil changes with OEM oil filter and graphite oil additive. Only mech. Work was new rotors/brakepads and wheel bearings replaced along with shifter bearings replaced at the hand shifter. After manually shifting for 250k miles it needed it but the clutch never had to be replaced only adjusted. Best car i ever owned next to my toyotas of today.

It’s a great example of attention to detail can mitigate a lot of material choices. Cheap doesn’t have to feel like it.

Totally laughed out loud at that one!

The first new car I ever bought was a manual 94 Jetta III LE - exactly 30 years ago... The MSRP of the base model Jetta in 94 was almost $14k which is about $29k in today's dollars, and it was a much simpler car (manual windows, no ABS, read drums, etc..) had less power, worse fuel economy. It's great they still make a car like this at such affordable price.

Probably the most in depth car review I've ever watched. I'm not even looking to buy a new car. I'll send this to anyone looking to buy a new car though. Love volkswagens.

Love this review style - you actually cover way more than some of the other entertainment-orientated review channels but still made it fun without giving it a forced feeling. And you know your stuff when it comes to the mechanics which is more than most other channels can say lol

So happy to see you convert the metric measurements to SAE for those of us who are not metric centric. I was getting tired of stopping the video to divide your measurements by 25.4 to get the SAE number. Thanks!

My daughter bought a used 2017 SE and the 1.4L in that thing is impressive. Not much seems to have changed in 7 years. When I was younger (in the 70's) - 7 years was an eternity in car development/evolution.

I have a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Sport 1.8t. It currently has 122k trouble free miles. I’m the second owner and bought it at 38k miles in 2019. The car is still driving strong, has been super reliable and still a joy to drive. I’m currently looking to upgrade to a current gen Jetta but not sure if I need to or not because my car is doing just fine. If anything, it would be purely a tech upgrade.

VW has a special place in your heart. TY Sarah! You're always the bomb.

We bought a 2022 for my daughter. For what it is the power is great, cruises nice on the highway and if you go 65 it will get 46 mpg. The car has 36k miles and so far zero issues just the three oil changes the first two were free.

I like the way you do the reviews, and all of the knowledge you bring. Also the humor. I think you are great! New sub

"The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta has a predicted reliability score of 81 out of 100 from US News Cars, which is considered "Great". However, Consumer Reports predicts that the 2024 Jetta will be less reliable than the average new car, based on data from the 2021 model and Volkswagen brand scores. Consumer Reports also gave the Jetta 3 out of 5 marks for predicted reliability, with the only major issue being the in-car electronics."

Not having to toggle shport mode every time I enter the vehicle would be great. The beltline on new Jettas look sharp enough to cut glass. Not bad looking, though.

Great job, as always, Sarah

Absolutely the best reviews to watch .

2017 Jetta S manual 5 speed. I adore it. Trips at 80 mph all the way gets 40-42 mpg. It has the 1+ unitronix tune (from the dealer) and does 60 in 6.8, top speed 143. Ten thou / year, I'll keep it for 15 years

I've owned two of these in recent years. One 2019 I got for the kid and the other 2020 I got for the wife. We drove from Chicago to Phoenix and averaged 54 mpg at 80 mph with cruise control.

I enjoy watching your videos, very professional car reviews and informative.

Sarah you are quickly becoming my favorite automobile reviewer. Love the humor!

I got my girl a ‘17 SE for $129/month lease when VW was basically giving their cars away after diesel gate, and it has honestly been one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. In 2017 all models got the GLI’s IRS so it handles well above its price, and the 1.4t is punchy at legal speeds and gets >40mpg no matter how you drive. It hasn’t needed a single repair for 70k miles and still looks and drives like new. It has had many CELs and fault codes, but it’s all just over-reactive sensors and easily cleared with an OBD Eleven scanner. We liked the little car so much that we bought out the lease after 3 years and just decided to keep it as an extra vehicle forever. The residual was so in our favor that it only took another 2 years at $250/mo to pay off. I drive WRXs and tune them to within an inch of their life, but as I get older I’m more and more tempted to trade my ‘22 WRX for a ‘17 GLI DCT with a mild tune and switch between that and the SE depending on if I’m commuting or driving for pleasure. Sure would make consumables easy to stockpile lol.
