Before you sign for the Jetta

Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, electrical system and forward collision avoidance; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Engine and fuel

The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, 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.

It is rated at 6.9 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 21 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $10.70. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 453 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Best uses

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the Jetta on your commute, then decide.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $10.70 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $107 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
