The fuel efficient 1.4 VW - with the 5 speed shift
By ezshift5 | on 7/5/2026 1:57:51 PM
I returned my VW diesel in accord with the factory "buy back" offer...................and I got a brand new Jetta for a very low price. After 70,000 miles - - - - no issues ! This car is very fuel efficient...........an 800 mile Sacramento to LA via I-5 calc'd out to 53 MPG. Driving the car - using the easy shifting manual transmission - and the very light clutch is a pleasure.. The sole downside would be the cost of dealership service (so we use CSAA) Again no issues at all… - 5.0
Dad wagon wins!

I recently was fortunate enough to acquire a 2011 jetta wagon 2.5l for a really low price due to "misfire" and poor performance. Being a huge fan of German engineering, and had previously owned the 2004 Passat 1.8 turbo wagon(coilovers;catback piped;18"BBS;MoMo steering wheel etc) I replaced the coilpacks with the audi red ones and purchased titanium plugs, it ran like a charm. Went with a cold air intake and straight piped from cat back and 18inch asa revolution rims. You can feel the power increase. I'm waiting to get a stage one tune and maybe a performance intake manifold.… - 5.0
Bitter sweet
By Feeeny | on 5/13/2026 2:51:16 AM
Getting this car was my first time buying a car on my own. Prior to this I was driving a 2007 Chevy cobalt coupe and I hated it. Wanted a refresh and got all my money together for this and I was inlove with the Jetta immediately. Granted it was a huge step up from what I had, and there were much better cars out there, but it’s the peoples car for a reason. It’s reliable, fun, and nice to look at. Were my oil changes $85? Sure. But better than driving a Corolla.…
