    The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI: before you buy

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

    What to check on the Jetta

    NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and forward collision avoidance. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

    Engine and fuel

    The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.4 L/100 km combined rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $39.06 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    The Jetta in everyday use

    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 453 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Who the Jetta suits

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

    Rent it for a week first

    Rent the Jetta first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the Jetta on your commute, then decide. A week with the Jetta answers more than any brochure.

    Money matters

    The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel.

    Picking a year and a trim

    Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

    Java and the Jetta

    Java is about 3,178 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
