Volkswagen Jetta - 2006 —
Our 2006 Jetta 2.5 VE is a wonderful car. It has enough room that my 6'6" frame is comfortable in both front seats and in either back seat if there is a normal sized person in the front with the fornt seat up.We average about 25mpg in combined driving with fairly lead foot driving style. Long highway trips have shown the car is capable of 33-35mpg. The worst mileage we ahve ever gotten was 22.5.
The car is solid as a rock, accellerates rather well for it's power/size, and handles very well. Cornering and "fun" driving are excellent. Interior is quiet and comfortable.
Would have liked to have had power seat for at least the driver's position but it was the Value Edition. Lack of sunrrof is another drawback but, again, it's the VE.
The 2.5L engine should be replaced by the 2.0 Turbo. The 2.0 is rated for better mileage and actually performs better. It is available in the Jetta 2.0/GLI but they tend to be MUCH more expensive.
This car was chosen over the Honda Civic (a little too small bu better mileage) and the Mazda 6 (just right size but felt underpowered in 4cyl model) among others.
