I'm buying my first & it's a 2019 RLine. I've always owned Toyota's & Camry's, but I wanted something smaller since my youngest is now 10, but something a little sporter. I hope I will like this! A big change for me! But I know I'll love the gas mileage!
I own a 2019 Jetta R Line...my fourth Jetta. A couple of comments: 1. My previous Jetta was a 1.8 TSI model. For normal driving I do not notice much difference in performance. 2. My average mileage is around 35mpg mixed city and highway. On longer journeys I get close to 45 mpg. The economy was a buying factor for me. 3. I live in New England and opted for an R Line with the winter package which got me heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and heaters for the mirrors and windshield wipers. 4. Price was great. With dealer discounts and other offers I purchased for around $20K plus tax. That was almost $4K saving. 5. Large sunroof is really nice. 6. Remote engine starter also included as standard. That was not mentioned in this review. I like the car.
1.4 is enough for this car . you need drive it for fell the power horse. Yes is small engine but the turbo make the diference. If you want racing car buy porshe .
It''s turbo, not naturally aspirated as the Raiti stated. 0-60 is in the mid-7's, not 9 seconds. It moves and if you're up to it, the 5-speed manual is a blast to drive!
Not naturally aspirated, the engine is 1.4 lt Turbo charged. MPG combined is 34 MPG , not 28,29. A little bit more research before posting the video would not hurt.
I forgot to mention that there are so many nice cars and other vehicles out there, Viva la difference and selection, but when it comes down to business, what is going to be right for you. Styling, ergonomics, creature comforts, performance, safety, longevity, and reliability. And most importantly, cost to acquire, maintain, insure, license, and availability of parts, and service)repair sources that are reasonably convenient for you. I notice so many people are great car reviewers, but few mention the potential problems, breakdowns, like known transmission or vehicle specific issues to consider when making a purchase.
I remember driving a co-worker's early 2000s Mk4 vr6 powered Jetta. That was a very nice vehicle at the time and could pull. I haven't driven this new Jetta, but the sub 150hp rating seems awfully low unless Audi is positioning the Jetta as the gateway into the A3 or A4. This would work for a first car or for a new driver, I suppose.
Nice Jetta. I agree with almost everything you stated, though, I have no problem with the grill styling. I like the looks of the Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, even those big plastic rear panels that looks like it was supposed to have rear sensors on the Type R, like the Euro versions which have sensors in the front grill. Maybe after market could make replacement pieces, even for spy special agent types to dispense 007 type oil slicks, tear gas, machine guns, etc.... On the Civic Sport Sedan, they made the lower front and rear fascia more toned down like this Jetta, or like the Subaru Impreza Sport models. The wheels look more silver to me than gun metal, which would be my preference in trim here, without going too black. On sport models with the darker trim, factory smoke tint in the taillights would be a nice added touch. Even some of the older Buick sport models had that. It looks way better than dull, uneven spray on tint, and OEM legal and more long lasting. I do like the deep trunk, though you got a point about the leftover height for heavier objects, but I bet it's not an issue for your cameraman. My sister had a 1988 VW Jetta GL. It was roomy for the small size, but had a huge trunk due to the boxy shape that year. Plus, with the deep trunk, things not likely to fall out ss much when the trunk is opened. The shortcuts in quality materials, especially in the interior is often an issue, probably price point being the most common factor. And yes, that rod for the hood like shaky and flimsy. Other than that, the main negative issue is the engine output, and dependability and reliability. Other than the engine and related gear failing to run smoothly, or things like structural rigidity and integrity, as in getting damaged easily or falling apart, water leaks, etc., one of the most common issue other than specific engine issues is the transmissions, especially CVTs. Is the Jetta a better alternative to the Honda Civic? That is highly subjective to preference, and price for styling, performance and features for the specific trims, and options. As for me, I would go with the Honda Civic Sport Sedan, hands down. I don't think the Jetta can match it at that price point and features and such.
They don’t disconnect the battery so the battery doesn’t die, they do it so the car alarm won’t randomly go off when someone opens the door to take a look
I wonder if simply going with the 1.8 would've been just as good with the fuel economy? Previous VW Jetta SEL's had the 1.8 as standard equipment. I had a Passat with the 1.8 and it would do extremely well on fuel and weighed more than the current Jetta and the quality of power was very good considering. It has been said VW went with the 1.4 to save weight since it has a cast aluminum block vs. the 1.8's cast iron block, but that weight savings can't be that significant. I don't know about rear spoilers or wings. It's been my experience that they trap/collect dirt and grit around the perimeter and sometimes that can translate into surface scratches if you are not careful with washing. They don't have any real performance benefit on this type of car. On the Jetta, only the SEL Premium gets the leather seating surfaces. The other trims except the S have leatherette. I don't know about the shifter boot, but I would assume leatherette due to economy and it not being a manual. I want to drive one to get a driving impression. The Civic is held back somewhat due to the CVT (maybe not in ultimate acceleration, but the feel is different) vs. the Jetta's 8-speed. However, it will get better mpg's. Something few comment on are the huge trunk hinges. It would be so nice to see them use the fold flat hinges. Better design and not that complicated at all to manufacture. I feel the consumer is getting short changed here. But, VW does use a seam weld for the side body panel and forged hinges vs. the Civics stamped hinges and spotted welded side panel to roof panel leaving the black plastic gutter strip to hide it. Interestingly, VW only charges extra for the Habanero Orange, which is the most unique color. Honda doesn't charge extra for any Civic color.
First drive home ..200 miles. 47 mpg. I have no idea how the EPA estimate is 40 hwy. 45 easy to get. So far I'm averaging 38 in mixed driving (with spirited runs to break things in).
To those complaining on power I recommend a tune for the car. These cars on a mild tune are doing 180+ hp but more importantly 240+ tourqe. For 600$ you get better acceleration than a 1.8t and according to some faster than a gli or gti! The cool feature if this is that electronic lsd, very cool feature in this price bracket
Those aren't integrated exhaust tips. Those are just trim pieces that surround holes that lead to nowhere. The real exhaust lives under the the car on the driver's side, it's just plain dual exhaust pipes bent downwards.
thanks for the video and info, now i can cross this one off my list. at a 147hp, it just doesn't get it done for me. at the top of my list is the Honda Civic 'R' with 300hp+, followed closely by the Hyundai Veloster turbo. Thumbs up for the video, thumbs down for the car.
Thank you sir for watching and taking the time to comment! I am glad that I was able to help you cross this off your list! I can't wait to get my hands on a Veloster N! Stay tuned because I have a Veloster Turbo Ultimate review coming!
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! Many times it is hard to mention everything during a review. That is why I sometime do more then one of the same car.
If you are thinking to buy a new VW JETTA 2019, think twice. I bought this car in May 2019. The 8 speed automatic transmission, beside making a grinding noise when is driving at a constant speed of 30 to 40 miles per hour (+/_ 1,200 RPM), make an annoying vibration. The service department and the VW representative said that the vibration and noise are normal. I think this is the most ridiculos answer that I ever heard from a car manufacturer. I when to different VW dealers and drove a brand new car and all have the same problem. Be careful when you test it, maybe you will not notice it at the beginning. Just type in Google "Jetta 2019 transmission problems" and you will see. Pd: This happens on roads not very steep as we have in florida. Thanks
Thanks, Joe for your perspective on the new Jetta! Although I wish this R line was available in a manual trans.. Only available on the base S trim... Whereas the new Honda Civic Sport IS available with a manual trans.. I’m open to both the Civic & Jetta manual variations fore sure! 🤟🏻
I recently traded my 2013 CC R-line in for one of these and boy was that I mistake. My CC had been giving me some issues so swapping it out for something New seemed like an awesome idea. I didn't have much to put down at the moment and I still had a little bit left on the back end of the CC. What that being the case I was told that the 2019 Jetta R-line was the only thing that would work for the deal. So I foolishly took the deal but tried to return the car after a few days of getting a good feel for it. Basically the car is really light weight and Small, and doesn't have a solid feel which my CC offered and a few other small car manufacturers offer. It's unbelievably slow and the 1.4T Engine that it has is a major downgrade coming from the 2.0T. The 17inch Rims and tires don't help either, the wind feels like it's gonna blow the car away on the Highway and the standard audio system is a joke. Moral of the story I'm Now stuck with well equipped collage kids car for the next 2 or 3 years.😡😡😡 It's not the worse However, if your looking for premium features and a more solid ride this isn't it.
Drove Jetta nd Civic. CIvic haș no turbo and it doesn't need one. Handles like a sports car. Nothing wrong with Jetta but I think Civic is better as far as cornering and general road handling. Jetta turbo lags for about 1.5 sec at times, Civic response is immediate.
147 is kinda impressive from a 1.4L engine, without forced induction. Expect even way lesser power than the typical NA 2L or worse less power than a NA 1.6L city driving dont need 400bhp to be quick, the Jetta 147bhp engine just enough to merge traffic on the highway esp with the DSG, thou the zonk is prob the 7 speed lifespan
@@linchester8464 we don't get the dsg in the US. We have an 8speed auto. If you want more power just tune it. You'd make more power and have better acceleration than a 1.8t or a 2.0t
I just wish the R-Line was offered with a manual transmission in the US. I just bought an S model solely for the manual tranny, otherwise I would've gone for the R-Line manual. Not a lot of price difference.
ok, 147 hp yes but its turbocharged and with the 184 ft lbs of torque that really matters and it begins low in the rev range . 30 -40 mpg , excellent warranty , 8 spd auto ( not a CVT), alloy wheels std , very aerodynamic ( .27 cd). Several aspects you mention are wrong ( Mpg, not naturally aspirated its a turbo , etc)
I owe Hyundai sonata 2013 gls. At 102K engine failure due to a bearing problems. Very common problem for Hyundai/Kia 2.4 gdi and 1.6T .Just google it .Yes I did get qualified for new engine , but i can tell you its quite experience when you go on highway 65-70 mph and engine dies...no Hyundai/Kia for me no matter what warranty they offer
This car officially boots from 0 - 60 mph in 7.7 seconds. That is above average for the segment currently. Slow is not a word you can use for this car.
@@chidiohiaeri5885 my sons 2017 jetta 1.4t with a unitronic tune (stage 1+) intake and an exhaust pulled a 5.95 0-60 and pulls on focus st's and new gtis/glis. With the 8speed it may have better gearing and be faster than that
There's nothing that says Volkswagon like that BIG frigg'n emblem. Geeze, Brunhilde, aka Nurse Bertha, could use it as her shield while she sings one of Vaghner's operettas. Like the styling but the side profile kinda reminds me a bit of a Volvo. 147hp? Hmmm. My golf cart has more hp. Sorry Joe, I think the W goes to Honda.
It looks similar to the T-Roc and now I'm pretty worried the MK8 Golf is gonna look similar to this too. I really hope not cos this isn't boring it's ugly.
0 to 60 in 9sec That my friend is absolutely epic fail...I'm sorry it just a fail. Interior looks OK, design look settle or plain That's about it. Good review on this car though.😉🙂
Bought my 2019 RLine Jetta 2 years ago and it's still one of my favorite cars I've ever driven.

David Bradburn nice to hear I am considering an r line myself.
David - after 6 months do you still love it? Any issues?
U bought for really good price my friend. Here in Ny dealers are too greedy
0-60 seems to be around 7.6 second according to most reviews. That's a very solid number in my opinion for what this car is .

That front is too throwback for my liking. The back is attractive though.

its not a CVT and it gets better mileage
This is true! I hat CVTs!
I guess
Raiti's Rides I love CVTS now as far as the Jetta the car has a tiny engine with just 147 hp so you’d expect better gas mileage
@@IWeasel But 184 lb ft of torque.
Beautiful car but engine is way too small for me. Don't want less than 200hp especially in an R line

It's nice to be indoors with the AC! Finally it is getting cooler out so you will not see the hand towel very much!
turbo and dsg I learned my lesson the hard way$$$$$$$$
It’s cool they offer 6yr/72,000 miles but Hyundai and Kia offer 10yr/100,000 Miles
Brian Austin that’s not bumper to bumper though. Hyundai and Kia’s Bumper to Bumper is 5 years 60,000 miles. Thanks for watching!😊👍🏻
Raiti's Rides oh okay thank you for the correction that does make a big difference lol,thank you for the great videos!👍🏼
I owe Hyundai sonata 2013 gls. At 102K engine failure due to a bearing problems. Very common problem for Hyundai/Kia 2.4 gdi and 1.6T .Just google it .Yes I did get qualified for new engine , but i can tell you its quite experience when you go on highway 65-70 mph and engine dies...no Hyundai/Kia for me no matter what warranty they offer
So fuel efficient, but slow? Fair enough.
You hit the nail on the head!
This car officially boots from 0 - 60 mph in 7.7 seconds. That is above average for the segment currently. Slow is not a word you can use for this car.
@@chidiohiaeri5885 my sons 2017 jetta 1.4t with a unitronic tune (stage 1+) intake and an exhaust pulled a 5.95 0-60 and pulls on focus st's and new gtis/glis. With the 8speed it may have better gearing and be faster than that
@@IReahpZz What does that have to do with the performance of the 2019 Jetta?
Check our review of it. 147 HP!
I love your videos
I love your support!
Thank god they now have the Jetta 2019 gli! Much better choice than this...
AGREED!
I regret so much not waiting. This sucks. I didn't know when the gli was coming out. It looks so nice too (35 edition)
This Dub is boring, boring , boring. NEXT. 147hp in an R-Line ? Let's make jokes about what that R really stands for.
I totally feel your pain! I hope that the 2020 Golf R brings some change and a boost of power.
FOCUS!!!!lol! Thanks for the info.
I agree, PLEASE STOP TALKING WITH YOUR HANDS MOVING. PLEASE!! WERE ALL GOING CRAZY. love the channel, just stop moving the hands all over .
I like the rear, very Audi like. Also the interior is not as nice as the GTI.
I am going the gTI route if I was looking at a VW!
Camera quality sucks. Needs a higher dynamic range
There's nothing that says Volkswagon like that BIG frigg'n emblem. Geeze, Brunhilde, aka Nurse Bertha, could use it as her shield while she sings one of Vaghner's operettas. Like the styling but the side profile kinda reminds me a bit of a Volvo. 147hp? Hmmm. My golf cart has more hp. Sorry Joe, I think the W goes to Honda.
I love the shield idea! Maybe we can create a new super hero that has the VW emblem as a shield!
If VW group replaced their logo with the Bugatti logo in the front, then hell yeah! If not, I want the stylish honda civic.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
my 2019 has a turbo and it will press you into the seat. A lot of get up and go.
It looks similar to the T-Roc and now I'm pretty worried the MK8 Golf is gonna look similar to this too. I really hope not cos this isn't boring it's ugly.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
das Fahrvergnügen ya?
I would pass on this one!
Naturally aspirated? 1.4TSI. Hmm.
Yeah...
0 to 60 in 9sec That my friend is absolutely epic fail...I'm sorry it just a fail. Interior looks OK, design look settle or plain That's about it. Good review on this car though.😉🙂
I really appreciate you taking the to watch and comment! It was a let down for me!
wow that car needs a turbo
It really needs more power! Thank you for watching!
Buy a GLI or GTI for that. This is a cheaper option that is probably more reliable.
It already has a turbo!!
Yes
Thanks for watching Mark!
Then it needs a bigger one, that engine is anemic.
That is so very true!
If u want more power buy an audi, if u want even more power, buy a Porsche
That is a very good point Andrew.
Looks likee very other VW Jetta before it. Not bad but nothing special!
I totally agree with you!
I really want this car in India 🇮🇳
I am so glad that you liked it!
It's better than the Honda Accord.
Styling isn't cheap and 'ricer' like the Civic.
Like said below... No CVT! But no DSG either. Get the manual.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
You have no taste. Typical...
1.4 liter 😂😂😂 nice car though
I totally agree with you!
10 year 1,000 mile Warranty Hyundai and Dodge so sorry VW
Last
All that matters is that you arrived! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
2/10 not enough V8
Many people would agree with you!
