Yay! The camera work didn't make me want to barf! Great seeing ya back reviewing cars Emme, awesome as always!

I want to hang out and speak in accents like that! Great review. Enjoyed all the details and the editing. One of the better car reviews and reviewers I have seen lately. Thanks!

Nice video! Particularly appreciate your mention of the turning radius. That's a maneuverability issue many reviewers don't discuss.

Nice review Emmy Well done, keep going

Great review Emmie. Lot's of fun. Usually a Volkswagen is too.

Wanted to learn about features of the 2015 VW Jetta Hybrid SEL three minutes into this video and its a multi volume(one sec quiet to get you to turn it up then BLAST loud) thing. Its mostly about her and horses.......

This car looks so good! When does it release in Australia?

The dash is simple and beauty is in simplicity.

I like how you guys hold off on the reccomendations until the cars are given a fair test.

I don't mind light steering as long as the vehicle has a really good sense of center for the highway straights. Babysitting the wheel to just go straight is exhausting.

Quick note, Not a DSG transmission in the S, SE, or SEL. The only trims the DSG is available in is the TDI and GLI. The other models are a 5 speed S-Tronic Transmission.

Great reviews! You're definitely one of my favorite female automotive journalist atm

I used to like this car a lot. I myself have a 2006 Jetta. It's just that the competitors are starting to make much better looking cars.

I cannot deal with super light steering wheels. I absolutely hate it. My parent's 2005 kia amanti's steering wheel was way too light. I felt unsafe driving it unsure how much control I have with that car. But I always liked Jettas. They seem fun to drive, and it feels faster than my honda accord. (My friends 2009 Jetta) but the car looks nice, but what were those round things on the ceiling of the car? It looks ugly. Is it lights?

The interior looks nice

I'm exactly Emmy Hall's height. By the way the refreshed Jetta looks much better than the one released in 2011.

Is it brown or dark beige ????

I was one of those who defended you when you got bashed for asking for donations. But TFL refusing to let us support you using establed payment system makes me think you are doing just fine. I am not creating another account on another specialized website, when there is PayPal. Peace :)

2160p quality?!!? dang, i thought only the offical youtube channel could do that

Don't have to wait until 2015 the GLI already puts out 210hp. Maybe she meant 258 torque like the GTI has?

no TDI or Hybrid specs?

Emme - it's a regular 6 speed automatic in the 1.8 gas engine, not a DSG.

Did you know that if you press and hold the *unlock button* on the key fob...that all the windows will roll down simultaneously, and will roll back up when you press and hold the *lock button* again?... ( FYI...the steering "feel" gets heavier and sharper at higher speeds. )

The Jetta isn't a bad car, but it does have some very stiff competition.

The 1.8 TSI isnt a DSG. I had a loner while my DSG was in the shop and it will not automatically upshift in manual mode. It also lets you start in 2nd gear however the dsg does automatically upshift at redline in manual mode and will only start in first gear from a stop. I also think the 2.0 115 hp Jetta S starts at $16000. The 1.8 170hp Jetta SE starts at $18000.

I got one of these as a rental (in white) when my Honda was in the shop for the airbag inflator recalls. First thing I noticed was all the hard plastics. I never thought I would see more hard plastic in a German car than in a Toyota, even Corollas have a little pad of fabric by the "elbow wells" on the door panel. EVERYTHING, from the door panels to the entire dash, was Fisher-Price quality hard plastic. No attempt whatsoever to make things a little on the softer touch side. Not even faux leather stitching, which is popular these days in this class. 2nd thing I noticed was the "3" as the first VIN digit, meaning the final point of assembly was somewhere in Mexico. The 3rd thing I noticed was the funny movement/engagement of the transmission when you are stopped at a red light, and you take your foot off the brake, the car bucks a little, the transmission wasn't very smooth with regard to shifting in general and that can annoy some car enthusiasts. Women will not mind at all. I took it out on the twisties, and while the frame was tight and I didn't notice any significant understeer at the limits, the engine is all about that raspiness with no power to go along with it. Makes noise but doesn't want to move. I didn't even bother to pop the hood to see what engine was in there, whatever it was I would guess about 1.4L to 1.9L of displacement with no more than 105HP to 115HP at top rev. On the plus side, the car seems VERY FRUGAL in the fuel department. I was given the car with a full tank, drove about 60 miles or so, some of those miles really hard, and when I went to refill the tank it took only $3 of regular (at about $1.89/gallon). The car had about 10,000 miles on the odo. Would I buy one? No way in hell... Makes a great Uber of Lyft car though.

I'm a huge tech savvy but I love VW because how minimal and basic it is. It just feels clean and open.

Camera man sounded like the property brothers lol

@ 2:31 Ak from FastLaneDaily??? FastLaneDaily

Why manuel are better than automatic ?

FINALLY A ENGINE TEMP GAUGE! Also all 1.8 TSI dose NOT come with a DSG, its a conventional Torque converter transmision!!!

Song played: "Blue Skies" by Silent Partner from KZfaq Audio Library...

much better to save the donation part for the last so at least we can finish the video

Lol virginia does not take speed laws that seriously... I do 10 over all the time and have never gotten a ticket. I'm from the north btw.

At 2:30....wow emme

FYI my 2014 SE 1.8t 5speed dynoed at 189hp and 204tq on 87 octane. These cars are underrated from the factory.

it looks like an older Audi A4 from the rear... And thats a good thing.

I personally really like the VW interior but I can see it not being for everyone

VW has to connect those LED's

No DSG with the 1.8T

I wish that this had been the TDI.

if you want heavy steering feel drive my 2007 mercedes c280 4matic

Only the Jetta GLI has the DSG. This uses just a conventional 6-speed automatic.

A tip, it is pronounced Folksvagen. Great vid!

The Jettas might be boring in terms of design, but what I do consider first when buying a car is the engine. That's the number one on my check list. So far, I can say that VW is bringing decent engines to the market compared to Toyota or Mazda except for the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine which is basically a trash. With VW I would go with their TDI my eyes closed.

I don't understand why most of the manufactures don't have a manual in their top trim line. Do as BMW has with the M3/M4, make it a no cost option. If you have the transmission developed all ready. And you obviously do if you are putting it in a lower spec trim. Why not making it a thing?

I wanted to exit the video when she said the BASE SE model (false) comes in at about 16k (false) but what really did it was the DSG talk in the 1.8TSI...false again, does not come with DSG.

the TSI doesn't have a DSG, it's a 6spd auto

SE Model is the best value, can be had under 20k. Top of the line usually isn't worth it as you can step into entry level luxury cars.

Its not a DSG, its a regular automatic, you only get the DSG in tdi and gli ;)

adding the tech package that includes blind spot monitoring, frontal collision warning and led headlights is another 4,800.00. making the jetta the most expensive compact car in the world....ridiculous.

No DSG in 1.8

Have a 2006 Jetta with 12 year rust warranty. **12-year, unlimited distance warranty against corrosion perforation There is rust perforation on the trim of my door but apparently Volkswagen gets to choose whether they cover it... This is happening on every door on my car... Not covered? Wow. Really disappointed in VW customer service at the moment.

I had a volkswagen jetta before and i had a bad experience with it. It was in the shop for awhile and i regretted buying it. So if your thinking of buying this car. Think again. The people i knew regretted buying a volkswagen too.

i am too tall to be in 98% of cars with a sunroof. Large SUV's included. so yea, not that i dont "live a little" but sunroofs are pretty much crap any ways. just get a convertible like you said

U wud better fit in a michellin tire reviews If u know what i mean ;)

No GLI love?

when we will see Emmys mazdaspeed miata review ?

there is a lot of soft material yes it build with guality material go and see the Toyota corolla and the Honda civic and see if you can get that soft material on the corolla or civic Toyota are build cheap with hard material the Honda have hard material but build good

just kidding good review!

Shaky camera, practice more

I don't call push to start a feature, more of an annoyance

I never recommend VW except for the TDI versions. Just so many other cars you can find that are better, more comfortable, and reliable.

Sounds like the base cheep car with a auto would be a better value as a biggish family car . To bland to pay 28k loaded up.

*comment on a video about a cheap ok car dissing because i want a lambo for 20k*

Fast lane car more like slow lane compact

360p?!

I tried to pledge (from Canada) using my MasterCard - asked for cell phone (don't have one) or PayPal (don't have it) - sorry. Next time try using something a little more mainstream - never ran into this before..

That's a rip off for this car. U can get an ex-l Honda accord for the same price. That car is a size larger and higher resale.

Three way mash up jetta gli.... vs golf gti.....vs tigwaun 4 matic.... This car only makes sense if you buy the sel or tdi..... with a manual.... that dsg is less involving and has to be serviced every 50k by vw cause it's a sealed gear box.... $$$$$ The only difference is the New motor that goes 7k before needing oil change....... Emmy we love you like a fat kid loves cake..... lol

im sorry your talking rubbish, ive driven v'ws for the last 35 years, theyve sometimes gone a on quality purge and cheapened them to cut costs, i had a 2006 jetta (2.0tdi), the first jetta after a few years of thewm not producing one, and that ran me 6 years and 140K miles, it was well made and felt solid and i didnt have a problem with it, then i swapped to a mexican built 2012 model, boy, they dropped the quality through the floor, reminds me of a 2004-2006 seat. I dont think this car is going to last as well as the last one, the trim is cheap and horrible, the body is crap, the whole car is rattling after only 36k miles, for the first time in my life, im thinking of swapping to a different manufacturer. VW i think will lose a lot of customers because of their cost cutting and quality drops, theyve cut the wage overhead by going to mexico, looks like they want to save on build as well, good luck with that, im thinking maybe japanese or other german next time, which wont be long i reckon.

Loose the music that gets louder at different intervals..very annoying..

Doesn't it have "authentic wood grain" trim like my 2013 passat did? I love the play on words. it was Authentic IMITATION wood grain.. aka PLASTIC.. LOL

I paid $18,880.00 for my TDI Jetta.

This competes with Toyota Corolla for the title of "most basic car ever".

Er.......the "VOLKS"...........

Actually, Virginia sucks. Thanks for putting it so diplomatically Amy.

Bolsguagen, bruh....

Shit gas mileage

I don't like her reviews

VW has been building boring looking cars for awhile now. This new Jetta is no different. Super light steering and bland interior. Your basic "a to b" vehicle. Got my Emme fix. :-)

Wow Emmy, what did you eat? Did you just swallow an entire cow? lol. You got the pounds packing in gal.

Grow some hair

This may be the most boring looking car ever.

boring review.

still boring looking

OMG boring cars; where is the excitement factor with VW?

Boring ! Just like that girl !
