Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, air bags and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Reading the spec sheet

The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Its combined rating is 7.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. Expect about $11.16 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

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

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Rent it for a week first

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Jetta on your commute, then decide. If the Jetta is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.16 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
