Volkswagen Jetta (2006 - 2010) 1.9 SE TDI PD 4d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Solid, dependable practical person.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Actually they all love it, and that surprised me. Biggest shock of all was that the ladies really rate this car! I think it must be because it reminds them of what their Dad might have driven!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yeah I would. For a family car on a reasonable budget, it does the job.

What are you likely to buy next?

With an expanding family, it has to be another saloon. But I think I will go back to a Subaru or Evo. This could definitely be one for the other half though.

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

June 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Company car, so no idea what they paid. Would have been a good deal though as was much better than other cars on the list!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had a long list of cars to choose from for a company vehicle. Problem was 99% were absolute rubbish. Chose it without testing. Had a small child so needed something with practicality.

What was the dealer like?

Don't know.

What's it like to drive?

Competent if predictable. You not going to get any lift off oversteer put it that way, but it's not bad.

What's it like to park?

With it's amazing turning circle, actually quite hard! Not used to something being able to turn in so much when parallel parking!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Common squeak from drivers seat. A couple of rattles at certain RPM that you can hear in the cabin.

What's most practical about your car?

The large remote opening boot easily. Plus four doors of course.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Auto lights are really good.
