2006 Volkswagen Jetta Review:
My last car was a 1998 Jetta with cloth interior and roll down windows. This car feels so different it's like driving a different make and model. The car is much more comfortable but I do wish the gas mileage were a little better.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Volkswagen Jetta?
I love the solid handling and firm sporty ride. The performance is great especially 60 to 80 mph! people complain about the Cruise control location, but I have gotten use to it and find quite useful.The interior looks great and feels great.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Volkswagen Jetta?
Twenty more horsepower would be great. I have a sweak in the dash I shouldn't have at 8K mi.. Dealer service is terrible.The lock box made an indentation in the rubber around the glass. I had a seat belt cover break due to my sons car seat, and the dealer said they would order a new one, but never contacted me.

This is the third Jetta I've owned and the best one yet.

2006 Volkswagen Jetta Review:
After being multiple car owners over the last 27 years, we have never owned a VW. We've been loyal Toyota owners, but we may be switching loyalties when it comes to economical autos with great safety ratings. Very pleased with my TDI!
