I really do love this car. I may be boring with my preferences, I guess, but even the interior was awesome to me. This car is amazing for $25K. Great job, Volkswagen!

I love those mechanical gauges, I hate how so many new cars are going to digital, I like the simple look, and it's less to go wrong later.

I got this same model in black and I love it! The sticker price was 23485 and I got it for 21650. I got the 5 speed manual.

I was thinking about a chevy cruze but the power in this engine has changed my mind, I think I'm getting this 1.8 turbo jetta!

That's pretty impressive to come in only 2 seconds slower around the track than a BMW 435i, which costs more than twice as much money ($47,000 vs. $19,000), and which is a RWD coupe, vs a FWD 4-door sedan. Way to go VW!!

Thank you for creating and uploading a 0-60 on the 2014 Jetta TSI! TFLcar rocks, holler at me sometime in you guys are in Ft. Collins.

That Jetta was faster 0 to 60 than I thought the Jetta is a good car great video guys!keep it up.

I own this exact car. Love it. Got it Certified Pre-Owned with a warranty !

And it also only has a 3 channel ABS braking system as opposed to a full 4 channel system. The rears are on one channel.

This track testing definitely adds a new level to your reviews. Hope you will be able to use this track for the long term. As far as the love-late relationship with the Jetta, you need to add bland exterior styling to the hate list. The brown color doesn't help either.

Good thing they did that leader-board chart, looks like they were starting to use the track more often.

I'm from germany and It's quite interesting to me how Volkswagen seems to think that the american market has lower expectations... it's unthinkable that Volkswagen would be offering the older automatic in the lower priced version in germany. Over here people would see it as a cheap solution and it would damage the brand. I think they should offer the same technological standard in both countries... it'd be good for their credibility.

Well how long was the hot lap in length ?

Only 2 SECONDS slower than a BMW!!

What happened to car reviews??

From now on, when you do the track test, it will be great if you can show only 2 screens like the last lap you did at 7:27 :), and if you can show more or even a full onboard lap (POV) how do you wanna call it that would be perfect :D

It's a very dynamic driving experience considering it's a front-drive platform. The Passat can be had with a 3.6L VR6 that puts out 282 horsepower, coupled with Volkswagen's excellent DSG gearbox with paddle shifting. The TDI offers world-record level mpg's with many owners reporting upper 40's in real-world driving and a large torque boost to a whopping 280 ft. lbs. this year, which it makes relatively low in the rev band (also coupled to the DSG). It's a very well-sorted chassis with capable brakes, too. All in all, the Passat is an American-built, high-quality German sedan that I was proud to say that I worked on as a member of the Quality Group during my time at the Chattanooga, Tennessee Assembly Operation. If you're in the market for a mid-sized sedan, I highly encourage you to check it out and look beyond the typical stoic German conservative styling.

Is there going to be a passat 1.8t review!!??

Why does the beginning music sounds like something from shaft?

just noted volkswagen website www.vw.com have been redone. nice looking. also the jetta now is listed in 4 trims: jetta 1.8/2.0 - TDI - Hybrid - GLI. so now we have both TDI and Hybrid.

Im driving this as a loaner while my 13 Jetta TDI Sedan is in the shop for dsg and other issues. I have to say this cars horsepower and torque are underrated. The transmissions shudders, not sure what thats about but the engine, sunroof, kessy, and touchscreen make me hope they never fix my diesel. However I wish the 1.8 got the same mpg as my jetta. Roman is right, the look of this car and even the updated 2015 is boring! Ill be happy when my lease is up.

Best car for the value hands down. 1.8T w/6 speed manual is awesome. Would choose this over the Mazda in a heartbeat.

nice work ! do the ford focus and focus st !!

Is this car quick enough? I'm looking in leasing one for a first car and love the styling and available features. However, I am worried about having a 4 cylinder car. I've been driving all 6 cylinder cars and think they're more than adequate on the highway. However, I once drove a 2012 Ford Focus on the highway and it scarred me. I had it to the floor and was barely going 70. Felt like there was no power at all. Is this car like that? I live in Michigan so people drive 75-80 mph. I'm also worried about how it will be in our Michigan winters... considering it is FWD. I'm also comparing this car to a 2015 Chrysler 200C AWD since leasing prices are similar for both. I prefer the Jetta over the 200 for styling, but I do prefer the available AWD and V6 in the 200. However, I feel like since it's my first car, the Jetta would be better.

The Jetta is fast no matter what. And that's one car that AIN'T afraid to go past the redline.

Volkswagen makes a very nice looking interior

Roman, nice job. :)

Curious why not a GLI?

Roman u are getting use to lap that track better so u need to relap 435i and this time go for coupe pls

I have a 2013 gli it's a great car, no problems so far.

I love my SE Manual...Got 0-60 in 7.5 but im at sea level and have a manual.

Bigger than all those compacts.Jetta is good for room,wish they had offered the 1.8 back in 2013 when I got my 2.5.

So close to Bmw 435i ??? damn i didnt expected that.

My jetta mk6 doesn’t have independent rear suspension wtf

What tires Jetta had? Mazda 6 had all-season.

I know Emme can't be everywhere at once, but I'd like to see how she would fair going around the track against the boys. She should at least test the Miata on the IMI.

I like this )) Минута пятнадцать секунд, смотри )))

Ok so she's not the same calibre as the Top Gear track and you may have to watch out for the odd Tornado but well done on getting a track lads!

You guys should really get a guy that knows how to drive a bit better. Not to offend Roman, but I feel like he either needs more experience driving or something. FWD cars don't have the back end drift or come around unless you are pulling the e-brake. Even then, you can't sustain the drift efficiently. FWD cars always under steer when pushed too hard, even with limited slip difs. I like your reviews and i really feel this channel has potential, but it needs refinement. I just feel that driving is one of those things that requires that "seat of your pants" feel. Just saying you're hitting the apex a lot doesn't mean you're a good driver. I'm rooting for you guys, but I hope you take this comment to heart and get some extra off-camera track time or get a new guy for track reviews.

nice vid! get an accord v6 or the new a3!

I know that you guys already have all this filmed ahead of time but I would love to see the the Mazda 3 and Ford Focus on this track. I have a feeling they would do quite well.

Класс! Спасибо!

Im debating on a SEL 1.8T or the TDI SEL. Any thoughts. Getting it this summer.

I have never understood why VW US gave you a bad cut price/budget Jetta in 2011(as its the biggest market for it!) with no independent suspension/etc. We UK buyers keep the MK5 shape quality/independent suspension/etc all the way through. I have a Jetta 2007 TDI (140ps) Sport.....much unloved cars here whatever generation.

I cant believe the 435i is only 2 seconds faster. All of that extra money only gets you 2 seconds haha.

Jetta is definetelly better then Mazda. I'd choose Jetta. That's funny but I gussed 0-60 time which is 8.5 sec. Where is Andrey's best lap time on track?

on that track

I have a 1.8T in my jetta with 200hp (modified)

I am always surprised seeing how cheap even german cars are in north america. In germany we would have to pay at least 15000 dollars more for an comparable VW. What also surprises me is the fact that many reviews call diesel cars the future. In my country they are standard for years!

Love the chocolate color...jetta is so sexy....but how come other people get this exact same car from 0-60 in 7-7.3 seconds??

New jetta vw unveiled in New York addresses Romans concerns

Finally couldn't get my selfs to look at a five cyl.

1.8T CAN NEVAR LOSE!!!!... if only it got a 6-speed manual with a nice tall 6th gear for highway fuel economy. But you're right... the rear leg room is awesome. I don't mind riding backseat... especially if the driver is short.

The problem with the leader-board is that the driver isn't always the same.

If they couldn't afford the 2.0T with DSG, then they should have gone with a manual SE. Might have had a chance against the BMW.

I used to be a big VW fan, having owned and enjoyed them for years. However, I've found the quality has gone down and the warranty has been shortened as well as the prices soaring! I recently considered trading my 2010 Golf for a GTI but didn't. For only slightly more money I bought a Cadillac ATS with a better warranty and longer maintenance included! Additionally, most people think the Cadillac is a much more expensive car giving it a feeling of prestige never felt in the VW!

I think u need to focus more on illustation the interior and the exterior, first. Then, examine the car performance. Good luck!

nissan altima pleas 4 not v6

Try the Hyundai sonata 2.0T.

195/65r15? REALLY? And I thought my 12 year old Saab with 205/55r16 was behind the times...

Would have been great to see the new VW GLI instead of the regular Jetta.

The manual transmission is even quicker!

Tons of legroom? The instant u hit a car, ur passengers will disconnect their leg bones to their pelvis.

how the hell are you going to compare a car with a truck on the lap time? might just well compare it with an 18 wheeler full loaded! dude get it staight

The passat is the same just bigger and its only a bit more

all Jetta's turbo automatic are dual clutch DSG transmission!!!

Mazda 6 sucks.

tons of leg room? ROFL. WTF...

seems that you are getting paid too much to make the car look too good for its reality 8.34 in a 0 to 60 please! might just well get a diesel truck. I used to be a big fan of flc but lately seems that there have been lots of fake advertising... just saying, state facts or lose subscribers...

great car, would be better with RWD though! Because drift car.

It's faster than that get a better timer please

Nice car, but not impressed. For less money you can get a Kia Forte sedan with a 2.0L 184hp motor. Wonder how it'd perform on the track compared to this Jetta.

Is VW trying to compete with Toyota at trying to make the blandest car in the world?

I think 0-60 times and hot laps are irrelevant for cars like this. I want to know how it drives in the real world. Is it smooth on dumpy roads? Good gas mileage, comfortable, spacious, how is the interior. Yes of course it needs to perform, keep up with traffic and over take if need be but that's a small part. 99.99% of people who own a jetta will never take it on a track.

Dear sir, I hope I'm not being insulting, but I find it exceptionally hard to see the point of these timed laps. Even more for timing them to the hundreds of a second. Your driving lines are quite...well... let's say unusual. And therefore the consistency of laptimes can't be that great from lap to lap let alone from car to car. You could've taken 3 seconds off that laptime easily by not braking seriously too late, driving a correct line and using manual shifting mode. ...and 5 seconds easily with a proper driver mod. :)

I'm sorry guys, as much as I love watching all of your videos, I feel like you maybe can't sustain this pace of video? Your camera work is mostly shaky and awkward (never zoom, good lord!) Editing seems rushed, and messy - as does your presenting, with errors and stutters all included. It's not the TFLCar I remember subscribing to a year ago. Hopefully you can be a little more careful, get the details more correct, and then change/shape your reviews a little bit.

Funny, I'd still rather have the Mazda 6. At least it doesn't look like a brown appliance with the personality of a blank sheet of paper.

как разворачивался, так сразу стало понятно, что русский...

I'm not sure why anybody would buy a jetta/passat. They are very bland and boring looking. I figured the only reason was because.. well, diesel. Now there are much better cars available, especially in appearance. The cruze is available in a diesel now, too. I am friends with a guy who drives for his job, but he has to use his own vehicle. He bought a used cruze with 13k miles on it and in a little under 2 years he has put 100k miles on it. He said it's treated him great, except for some turbo problems.

Americans-hunday British-hiundie Both are wrong, don’t try and pronounce foreign company

VW should improve the quality and reliability of their cars.

this dude dont know how to drive .. look at does hand on the steering

Get the new Golf, not this.

VW ist a reall crap!

it is the most boring car in its class

Boring car! Thought I would never say that on a VeeDub! The Beetle, and the Gti will be more fun. The Passat Diesel is the ultimate family from VeeDub. Waste of time Jetta needs to be more interesting.

This car does nothing to grab your attention. Sure you can have impressive and improved performance but if the exterior looks like a 1994 Honda Accord, I could care less...

What's going on ? I thought you are professional car revivers . This was real sloppy , sorry .

I think u need to focus more on illustation the interior and the exterior, first. Then, examine the car performance. Good luck!
