- This is a quick buyer’s guide for the newly refreshed 2022 VW Jetta. One of the main changes for 2022 and up is the upgraded 1.5l turbo 4-cylinder from the Taos. But can this refreshed Jetta compete with Honda & Toyota? See my 2022 Corolla Review: • Pros & Cons.. 2022 Toy...

Please do a review on the Arteon 😁
I’ll see if they give me one in 2023
I've been looking at Sport and SE trims. Lots of car for the money with impressive fuel economy numbers.
Very true, sport seems good
Main gripe for me is the terrible four speaker sound system with no satellite radio in any trim below the SEL with no upgrade available. Other than that the Sport sounds like a really good deal.
I agree I have a 2022 Jetta sport and the radio sucks. But I'm kinda spoiled anyway. I think 90% of car stereo systems suck. My favorite is the Marks Levinson systems you can get in Lexus
@@paullabbee9300 I don't expect stellar quality from a base system, but six speakers and SiriusXM would be nice and its as low as I would go.
At 20k and the way the car looks it is a good presentation. With that said the Civic is so excellent and in the long term, reliability and resale answer questions that are an aspiration for VW. Like the looks, but as long as Honda builds what they build the way they build it, I don't see any way this car competes dollar for dollar overall. Great review Kevin.
Civic is so good this Jetta is mostly a cheap lease option that’s how I see this at least. Speaking of Honda, working on the 2023 HRV this week 👍
Good luck finding a new Civic
i have had the jetta since 2017, i had the sport, i lked it it was pretty good. i now own a 2020 jetta r line which i like also, but is a lease and it ends 6 months. i'm thinking of getting the 2023 sport, but like you said it does not have heated seats, or pano roof it makes the car look somewhat better. by the way i think your reviews are excellent, you dont mess around say any jokes, you are very straight forward with your reviews, and i appreciate that.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us my friend!
Thank you for an honest review on a Volkswagen product ✅💯
No problem 👍
The Jetta is very underrated but I still question long term reliability
Yea I like the price point of this but I still see this as a cheap lease option for someone
VW Jetta are extremely reliable. Each time videos like these are made there's always a few comments about reliability. I am on my 4th Jetta this one a 2017 TSI S model. I had no issues with any of them and all have been driven over 100k miles. My current car has 119 Thousand miles ZERO problems.👌l decided to skip the 2019 to 2021 models because the HP was dropped to 145hp. I will be looking at the new models come 2024. BTW the Jetta transmission are Japanese manufactured by Aisin the sticker under the hood shows it. Aisin also makes transmission for Toyota.
I had this car for a rental while in Hawaii this past summer and was completely underwhelmed by it. I know it was a rental, but the interior was creaky and falling apart. The worst part was the transmission where it would slip on engagement on steep inclines. It was so bad that I thought it was a DCT. the infotainment was hard to navigate.
On the other hand, we had an alimta for the first half of the trip. I'm generally not a nissan or cvt fan, but I ended up really liking the altima. It was extremely roomy and the controls were easy to use. Most surprisingly, the CVT was perfect for the mountainous roads where it would smoothly adjust to the right ratio for the steep inclines/declines without having to constantly feel the jolt of the gear changes in the jetta.
Yea this has a long way to go I see this as a cheap lease option for someone on a budget.
What year car was it?
@@joebrooks3824 tbh, i don't remember. it was the current gen, but maybe an earlier model year b/c it didn't have any of the latest safety features like AEB that I expect to be standard nowadays.
@@Wasabi9111 The 2019 model is known to have Transmission issues... Class Action Lawsuit.
As someone who really likes German cars for the particular heavy and Teutonic feel they have, I just wasn’t a fan of the new Jetta. I owned an older one and when it got totaled in an accident I just bought a used MB instead of a new Jetta.
I’m glad you’re ok from that accident my friend. I agree with you, that feeling that you are referring to has changed hands from VW over to Honda now so the Civic now feels the most German out of the bunch in this segment which is pretty crazy
@@MeynMotorGroup thank you for the well wishes, I’m totally fine! The only downside is now that I’ve owned an s class, there’s really no going backwards… I’m spoiled now!
@@deang7834 oh wow yes that can certainly spoil one in regards to automobiles 😅😂 S class is truly one of the finest vehicles I’ve ever tried as well I’m glad you have one my friend and you got that experience
@@MeynMotorGroup civic is trash lol cloth seats … eww
But don’t you think this Jetta is more trash my friend?
As a Jetta driver for the last 6 years, I like the mechanics and interior quality. However, I have discover that it has a known rust issue at the lower part of side fenders just by the front wheels. It is a known issue because of a poor design. I am a bit dissapointed because I like VW however I do not like "rust". I hope someone from VW management reads this message and do something about. Please deal with the known rust issue that affects the lower part of the side fenders. Thanks
As someone who sold and owned VWs, the Jetta is a easy $, not a long term driver. Would I buy one, No. A Golf, yes. But dump it before 90k. The gremlins will start to creep out.
Did the horn change/ get better? (I had a 2019 Jetta)
I just test drove this 2024 VW Jetta car with my daughter and I can confidently say that 40% of what this guy said about pros is BS. The plastics on the interior and exterior won't last 7 years in warmer climates. The ride is bumpy, road noise was terrible.. lacks sound proofing and engine needs refinement.
Probably got a trash unit to test. Discrepancy amongst new cars is all over the place, one car can feel great another can feel like a dumpster.
There's no way. I have a 2020. All my friends always want to drive it because it's so smooth and the steering is so easy. You're either lying or you didn't drive a Jetta.
@@cadenceglass8809 How can I prove this?? And why would I want to? A better question would be why would I lie?? I have absolutely nothing to gain.
@@celloman78 k
good video Kevin 👍.
Thanks 👍
I just picked up a 2023 Sport model. I can tell you the xds will def come in handy. It blows away any Civic from a value perspective and has great mpg. Also, a much better 0-60 which is stress free freeway ramp merging compared to the 2.0 Civic. It is really a cushy cruiser which makes it a perfect daily for me.
Very nice!
I am in the process of getting myself a 23 sport model as well. I was wondering what its like for oil changes. Are they expensive and does it require a special kind of oil?
I got the same car and I agree. And yes the oil changes cost more then on a civic or Corolla. Every 10,000. About 100$... synthetic oil is the reason
Would you recommend this for a first time car for a girl? Or a Toyota Corolla?
Get the Corolla
You said the 8" infotainment screen is only available on SEL model. I don't think that's correct.
Thankfully you don’t have to think, all you have to do is go on the VW website.
@@MeynMotorGroup You're right. Some of the SUV models offer the 8" screen on the lower trims. My bad.
On the Jetta it is.
No blind spot monitoring if no chip is available!
Your right my 2022 Jetta sport didn't come with it. I got a credit for it though. 400$ off I think
@@paullabbee9300 Can u have a chip installed in the future?
That's a good question but I think the mirrors don't even have the indicators and definitely no side radar
Why would anyone purchase a VW made in Mexico when there are so many other choices made in the States, South Korea, Japan, etc. Otherwise, great review Kevin.
I see this as a cheap lease deal for someone on a budget under $25k I’ve been noticing a lot of car makes moving to Mexico for their new factories but to be fair the cars are just put together by robots so I suppose it doesn’t really matter where the factory is
The 3 Series is made in Mexico as well and people buy a lot of those lol.
VW has been building cars in Mexico for like 60 years.....
My 2019 Honda Fit was made in Mexico! Great car!
Yo bro
