Buying the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Trendline+

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Trendline+ for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. This page sets out the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Trendline+ for buyers, in plain words.

Before you sign for the Jetta

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

The numbers in plain words

The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. 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 7.2 L/100 km combined: about 22 litres every 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $11.16 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Jetta

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 453 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Jetta makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Try before you buy

Rent the Jetta for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.16 in fuel.

Which one to look for

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
