2007 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg edition from North America - Comments

Electrical issues- radio hardly ever worked & sunroof wouldn't open. door quit locking @ 1200 miles.

I've had a love hate relationship with this car, until a few days ago when I was driving home from work. As I proceeded through a green light a lady in a new Mazda 6 made an illegal left turn in front of me. I slammed into her at 40 mph and then was thrown into a light post, I escaped the car without a single mark- it actually felt like I ran up on a curb. I will always own a Volkswagen after that - incredibly safe vehicles.

Every modern car offers similar safety as a VW Jetta, it doesn't deliver anything special.

The reviewer mentions electrical issues.

The vehicle gets totalled, but protects him.

The reviewer will buy another one.

Most modern vehicles would protect against collisions like this just as well, and many like Hondas and Toyotas do not have as many problems.

So, why get another another Volkswagen??

Hehehe oh yes Honda and Toyota, sorry guys quality has left these models from some time. The legendary quality is gone, if you don't believe just check the reviews. too bad.

I think you have to experience it to understand it! I had a hate hate relationship with my 02 Jetta, but I gave VW another chance and got a VW Passat. After 3 years and establishing a love hate relationship, after couple minor issues with my Passat, I totaled it. Was T-boned at 40 mph by a Lincoln Town Car, then hit another car. Got out of the car and walked away. I'm sure other cars are safe as well, but VW's feel solid and I feel safe in mine.

I've heard of unfortunate stories of other vehicles, so I stick to what I know. VW proved to me safety first, and so I now own a 07 Jetta. It's not worth it to me to have a flawless Toyota with 30 mpg if I'm going to be killed in it.

I'll have to disagree with the first commenter post. Every new car DOES NOT have the same safety that the Jetta offers. Take a look at http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx

Note that the Jetta is the only car in its class (besides the VW Passat) to earn a top pick. It also has Electronic Stability Control widely available, whereas most competitors may have it optional but nearly impossible to find.

I just totaled my 2002 Jetta the other day, and I am pretty sore but OK, and I hit a semi truck on the interstate after some idiot hit me and drove off, and I lost control of my vehicle...

I am now thinking of buying another Jetta, because like the guy above stated, I'm sticking to what I know. I know from experience it's a very safe car...
