I own a 2004 Jetta TDI with 303000 miles. It’s be the best car that I have ever owned.

I think you're easily one of the best car reviewers. Most of the others are pompous, and moan about stuff that doesn't matter. You have values similar to mine.

Petition to have companies send the manual version of their cars to Sarah. Also I almost popped a rib laughing at the 3-burst comment at the full auto bird

I always love the fact that Sarah gives every car - regardless of price point - a fair and honest shake.

finally, a positive review of this car. i've been a fan of sarah-n-tuned since its beginning. my car, 2019 jetta, 1.4 TURBO, SIX year warranty, EIGHT speed automatic! i paid $16500 new. drove philadelpohia to atlantic city and back with air on 80 mph? got 46mpg. have gotten 55mpg. german car, handles nicely, quiet, comfortable. almost sub 7 second acceleration. drive it like a diesel, never over 4000 (since the shift takes a moment it hits 4500). what a blast. thanks sarah, you figured this car out.

Sarah’s ability to match her attire to the vehicle is 🔥.

I own this car. 2024. I've been in a Jetta since 1989. A lot of people buy the Jetta. I paid 24K out the door.

My son has the 2019 SEL. Zero unscheduled trips to the dealer. 80,000 miles. I have an Atlas, same story. My wife is getting the GLI Autobahn Manual in a couple of months. The SEL gets a steady 40+ mpg. We don’t need no stinkin’ Tesla.

The gooch is the most luxurious and highest performing part of the possum

Myself and my coworkers are listening to sarah at work this morning. They will understand.

The interior in the Jetta is pretty damn impressive! Even without the Possum Gooch Fur lined doors. I really like the ridges in the hood too. Pretty solid car for 30k.

I think there may be more to the console white interior than just cute contrast. As soon as you showed that I immediately thought how brilliant a white interior is because that will allow you to see down inside much better than the normal black interior. More light!

I work on these everyday in a local VW dealer in Tucson. I have the 2024 40th Anniversary Edition Jetta GLI. I love it. 🙌

I recently got my first ‘new’ car, after countless cheap fun cars, a manual GLI, it was cheaper than many boring cars and is a treat each time I drive it.

Love this review style - you actually cover way more than some of the other entertainment-orientated review channels but still made it fun without giving it a forced feeling. And you know your stuff when it comes to the mechanics which is more than most other channels can say lol

2017 VW Golf Alltrack. 1.8 TSI, DSG transmission. 115,000 miles. Regular service with OEM materials in the owner's garage, not a single visit to a dealer, no warning lights ever. Looks, feels, drives like new. Love my VW!

I love seeing cost effective reviews just like high performance devices. I'll never able to afford an expensive car, but for a new device this could be in range and is surprisingly nice! Thanks!

2019 Jetta S here. 6sp manual. Was under $17,000 when I bought it new!! One trip to the dealer for warranty for an emissions purge valve (stupid EPA crap). 62,000 miles. No issues at all. It's been great. Best of all it drives like a VW! It's been beyond great.

Maint. Is most important for any car. I bought a brand new VW Fox in 1989 and put over 300k miles on her with no issues at all except regular maint. Of 3k oil changes with OEM oil filter and graphite oil additive. Only mech. Work was new rotors/brakepads and wheel bearings replaced along with shifter bearings replaced at the hand shifter. After manually shifting for 250k miles it needed it but the clutch never had to be replaced only adjusted. Best car i ever owned next to my toyotas of today.

VWs rock. My 3 door 2016 VW Golf MK7 1.8t with a stage one tune cruises at 140mph with no problem. Almost nine years old and I have had zero mechanical failures so far.

"3 round burst, bird!" lol

I lost it at "possum gooch fur..." Your descriptors are so damn funny.

It’s a great example of attention to detail can mitigate a lot of material choices. Cheap doesn’t have to feel like it.

I've driven, and owned nothing but VW's since I first started driving in 1976, I have 4 VWs in my fleet, including a '78 Super Beetle Convertible. Thanks for your review of the Jetta.

I have a bare bones 22' sport 6 speed and love it. I have almost 50k miles on it and so far no issues. Mileage is ASTOUNDING... not even trying I can get 50mpg going to work(55 mile drive, over a mountain too). Love VW Jettas AND your channel ❤❤❤

Nice review. Glad you gave the car a fair shake. Most reviewers just whine about it being "boring" because the look never really changes.

The first new car I ever bought was a manual 94 Jetta III LE - exactly 30 years ago... The MSRP of the base model Jetta in 94 was almost $14k which is about $29k in today's dollars, and it was a much simpler car (manual windows, no ABS, read drums, etc..) had less power, worse fuel economy. It's great they still make a car like this at such affordable price.

We bought a 2022 for my daughter. For what it is the power is great, cruises nice on the highway and if you go 65 it will get 46 mpg. The car has 36k miles and so far zero issues just the three oil changes the first two were free.

Thorough clear and concise. Love the engineering details you provide. Nice review!

Can't help but wonder if that sticker you removed was a "do not remove under penalty of law".

Totally agree on the whole "wish people would pay more attention to cars" and the "you don't need an SUV to haul stuff" bits. I've hauled a Marshall stack, pedalboard, guitar, and backup amp head in my WRX.

Sarah your dad jokes are hilarious especially when you laugh at them yourself 🤣😂

Just the greatest channel of the hardest working content creator on KZfaq 🙂 much respect ✊ AND the best looking in stiletto heels 👠

I have a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Sport 1.8t. It currently has 122k trouble free miles. I’m the second owner and bought it at 38k miles in 2019. The car is still driving strong, has been super reliable and still a joy to drive. I’m currently looking to upgrade to a current gen Jetta but not sure if I need to or not because my car is doing just fine. If anything, it would be purely a tech upgrade.

The Jetta is a great car. I wish VW would give you a GLI to review. I love your car reviews👍🏾. I have a 2019 GLI with the 7 speed DSG and it is a total sleeper. Great power from the 2.0 Turbo and incredible fuel mileage averaging over 30 mpg. Plus VW gave it a better sounding exhaust for the refresh a few years ago. Keep up the awesome work.

"The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta has a predicted reliability score of 81 out of 100 from US News Cars, which is considered "Great". However, Consumer Reports predicts that the 2024 Jetta will be less reliable than the average new car, based on data from the 2021 model and Volkswagen brand scores. Consumer Reports also gave the Jetta 3 out of 5 marks for predicted reliability, with the only major issue being the in-car electronics."

40th Anniversary edition with manual, $29,310, including shipping. 2L engine, 228 hp.

Great video, Sarah!! Tkanks for showing!!

I had a 2016 model blue colour 1.4 Tsi Jetta a wonderful car. I sold it in 2021. I miss it

I’m really enjoying your latest video drop schedule. That Jetta is a great value that definitely shows its VW/Audi lineage. “Drunk robot”… 🤣 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

I own a 2003 Jetta TDI turbo diesel 5 speed with the ALH engine best engine VW ever made ! , 60 MPG the way I have it set up, 280,000 miles and running great, stomps all over EVs !

Very enjoyable and insightful Thank you Sarah

This is a car with a nice interior, creature comforts, good fuel economy, and a whiff of torque. Just what normal people want.

Sarah you are quickly becoming my favorite automobile reviewer. Love the humor!

Happy Monday Sarah!! Thanks for making Monday and Fridays awesome!! Stay excellent!!😎

Probably the most in depth car review I've ever watched. I'm not even looking to buy a new car. I'll send this to anyone looking to buy a new car though. Love volkswagens.

always on point with your work, well done

I enjoy watching your videos, very professional car reviews and informative.

I like the way you do the reviews, and all of the knowledge you bring. Also the humor. I think you are great! New sub

Excellent technicals reviews...just subscribed !!

I got my girl a ‘17 SE for $129/month lease when VW was basically giving their cars away after diesel gate, and it has honestly been one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. In 2017 all models got the GLI’s IRS so it handles well above its price, and the 1.4t is punchy at legal speeds and gets >40mpg no matter how you drive. It hasn’t needed a single repair for 70k miles and still looks and drives like new. It has had many CELs and fault codes, but it’s all just over-reactive sensors and easily cleared with an OBD Eleven scanner. We liked the little car so much that we bought out the lease after 3 years and just decided to keep it as an extra vehicle forever. The residual was so in our favor that it only took another 2 years at $250/mo to pay off. I drive WRXs and tune them to within an inch of their life, but as I get older I’m more and more tempted to trade my ‘22 WRX for a ‘17 GLI DCT with a mild tune and switch between that and the SE depending on if I’m commuting or driving for pleasure. Sure would make consumables easy to stockpile lol.

Your reviews are top tier well done 👌

My wife and I have a 2019, Bought it when it was new 3 miles on the odometer. Had the car for a month and they needed to replace the ECM due to a malfunctioning remote start. Then we had the Oil Sending unit replaced due to codes at 13K miles, a plastic coolent pipe and coolent sensor at 22K miles, as well as a number of visits due to rattling in the drivers door which they needed to replace the locking mechanism as well as weather stripping in the door. We are contemplating on trading it in for a Toyota. Car still has under 60K miles and is under warranty until 72K miles bumper to bumper.

VW has a special place in your heart. TY Sarah! You're always the bomb.

So happy to see you convert the metric measurements to SAE for those of us who are not metric centric. I was getting tired of stopping the video to divide your measurements by 25.4 to get the SAE number. Thanks!

Love your thorough comedic reviews. By the way, the 2 Tone center console compartment- makes it easier to find dark items, Something I appreciate. 🎉

Love your video's Sarah! Please continue to make videos, of affordable cars.

Another excellent review as per usual...and yet another inspired choice of shoes. They are absolute fire.

I just lost it......possum Gooch....... love it

Very intresting review. In germany you´ll never see this car it´s only build for US market. So it was fun and intresting to see and listen to your review. Thx Sarah for your awesome work.

I really like that Jetta. Nice styling and affrodable-ish. Love you too Sarah. Thank you for the review.

Not having to toggle shport mode every time I enter the vehicle would be great. The beltline on new Jettas look sharp enough to cut glass. Not bad looking, though.

Great job, as always, Sarah

These Monday morning posts really give my heart the beans😅

Love starting my day with a little Miss Sarah n Tuned.😊

Like your informational review, especially to the chassis, and power train

I got a Jetta sport with a 6 speed manual in December and I love the thing.

Absolutely the best reviews to watch .

Great review, spot on with everything. I picked up a Sport with the 6MT for $24K several months ago and I'm consistently surprised at how nice it is, especially for the price. With all manual VWs going away I'd pick one up now if you're thinking about it.

I have a 2024 GLI, best car I've ever owned.

My daughter bought a used 2017 SE and the 1.4L in that thing is impressive. Not much seems to have changed in 7 years. When I was younger (in the 70's) - 7 years was an eternity in car development/evolution.

I've owned two of these in recent years. One 2019 I got for the kid and the other 2020 I got for the wife. We drove from Chicago to Phoenix and averaged 54 mpg at 80 mph with cruise control.

USB and USB-C ports for rear seat are inside the center console with notch for cables

Excellent and entertaining review as usual, I owned a VW Rabbit in my younger years (it lasted over 200,000 miles!), but have not owned a VW since, I would seriously consider this car if I was in the market, looks great!

Stunned Sarah, STUNNED! Like, you COMPLETELY MISSED!! the third USBc in the center console! 😄

My brother has a Golf with the 1.5L turbski, 6 speed manual. The clutch and shifting is just right. Such a joy to drive. Pity press cars aren't manual. You did get a shout out from LR Time, in their Sunday upload. A German couple with a sense of humour!

Fantastic review and the price per value is tremendous compared to other offerings... Nice!

Sarah great review!!! BTW you look great!!!

I have a 2021 Jetta SEL and I love it!

Sarah the Great! 🎉

GREAT content again! Thanks

Thank you Miss Sara.

The Jetta has always been one of my most favorite cars. I’ve owned 4 of them all with manual transmissions ❤️

I had a 1981 Jetta GLI (engine and transmission parts from the Golf GTI) ex- swiss police vehicule, it was such as cool car... Cool to see VW still proposing this model

Nice review Sarah. EVH plates. Miss you Eddie.

Before I got my WRX, I had a Jetta. It was a wonderful car!

Great review! Two things that are never actually necessary . . . Cylinder deactivation on a 1.5L engine, and taco flavored ice cream! Many Thanks, Sarah!!!

Fantastic review. I’ve always felt that VWs, and the Jetta in particular, are well made cars and have value exceeding other mainstream automakers (especially when compared to our American brands)

I really like your reviews. You miss nothing.

Love your videos Sarah.

Great review; thank you.

why didn't I find this channel before? Objective analises and more. That's great.

Nice review Sarah! Can you review the base stick shift model and the base Taos please? Love you!

Will take a fresh look at vw! Nice car! Thanks Sarah

Going down the street tomorrow to look for a manual at the VW dealership. For a test drive only,

GreatVW demo video I real like this car for a Volkswagen the thing will really give the car the beans love your reviews love your outfit 😊

Very comprehensive review 🫡

Stunning craftsmanship.

This is one sedan I actually wanted in AWD. It would be perfect!

I so look forward to the bolster test...thank you
