2006 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan 2.5L

Pros

Great looks, packed with standard features, safety and fun to drive.

Cons

Gas Mileage isnt great..

Bought my 2007 about 5 monts ago. Bought the basic 2.5 (5 speed - love stick) and it came standard with ABS, Side Airbags, Traction Control and a bunch of other features that you have to buy the top (most expensive) competitors model to get the same features. My decision was between the Altima and the Jetta and the Altima would have been about 7k more for the same features/options. Took the hubcaps off and put on 19" TSW wheels, clear VW OEM tailights and had a in-dash Kenwood Nav unit (with Alpine speakers) installed and my little 17k ride looks like a GLI (just not as fast). Fun to drive, love the feel of the car. Sorta wish I got the 2.0T as the 2.5 is a little sluggish and not getting very good gas mileage. Only have 3k miles on it so far, but only averaging about 22mpg mixed hwy and city. Overall love this Jetta. Its my second one, has the previous generation and this is a HUGE improvement in all areas.
