Underrated car - here's why
BPT, 08/28/2024
2024 Volkswagen Jetta S 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
If you listen to car reviewers, they'll say to get the SE version because it's worth the extra price for the features you get. The reality is the S gives you everything you need: comfy seats, all the VW IQ Drive features and the same zippy engine and transmission. And it has the fun VW feature where you can lower all the windows with your remote before entering. We live in a value era … now and this fits. Save your extra $$ for a new couch or something.
I used Edmunds to make an informed choice. They also helped point me to dealers where I got an excellent price. Some are a bit wary of manufacturers operating in Mexico and lower build quality than say Japan, Germany or the US. VW has been in Puebla, Mexico since 1966 and this is where all Jettas for the US market are made. If anyone has Mexican manufacturing dialed in, it's them.
The 8 speed automatic is nice and it's an Aisin unit, made by Toyota. I've driven many CVTs and this feels better. Acceleration is amazing and freeway entry is no longer a worry. In a nod to the past, my S still has a key, not push button start like the other models. You also need to press the brake to start. Some people dislike this but it's always been a habit of mine. The S also has a very simple head unit with few buttons and easy to use controls. The AC controls are all manual knobs which is nice. Some cars have everything in the head unit and you're in trouble if it ever breaks.
