Absolutely, the Wolfsburg is by far the best value on the VW lot. I just bought one 2 weeks ago, 6 spd manual, spoiler negotiated $21,530 including all dealer fees and DMV, not including tax. I then qualified for $1,000 owner loyalty credit so final sale price $20,530, which I was very pleased about.

Jetta $1,000 VW Loyalty Credit by srn3

Does anybody know if the $1,000 Loyalty Credit is still available on the Jetta? If I am not wrong, the Loyalty Credit expired on Dec 1st, 2008. Does anyone know if the incentive is still available for the month of December?
 
Thanks a lot!

Tested a new Jetta and love the handling. But did anyone else notice that the center console is right on your leg when you have your foot on the gas? Don't know if I could handle this for long distances. Also, has anyone cross shopped the new Mazda 6i against the Jetta? How would you compare the handling? Thank you.

yes--the center console is really tight--worst thing about the jetta i've found after driving it for 2+ years-- right knee room is poor.

that's interesting, i've never considered right knee room and I haven't really noticed any difference in that regard going from an '06 Avalon to an '09 Jetta, but it's still new to me so perhaps i will in the future. The only thing I have trouble with is the tiny center storage area.
 
As for the Mazda 6i I never test drove it but sat in it during an auto show and I hated the interior it felt a bit cheap to me and definitely uncomfortable.

Jetta S vs. SE by oceana143

Thanks for answering my previous question. One more item: With taxes included, the S is about $2,700 less than the SE. The car would be a daily driver to work with one or two 1,200 mile round trips to visit family every year. I don't need the sunroof as it cuts down on headroom and things like ipod, satellite radio are of little or no value to me (sorry for being a Luddite!).
 
Baed on the above, is there any reason to get the SE? Are S versions as easy to find? Thanks again.

Traded a midsize car in on my Wolf and actually find it easier to get in and out of, they wanted you to know you were driving a bigger car. And it couldnt turn as sharply as my VW.
 
 As for legroom, I'm 6'....no problems here.

Hi, I just bought a 2009 Jetta S with MT for $16,500.00. First they quoted me the MSRP 17,990, no thanks, 17,000, still no thanks. Inquired through the internet and got another price of 16,750. Called the first dealer and got 16,500, DONE DEAL! 15,000 seems a bit low, given what I've read, but good luck. It seems to be a buyer's market.
BTW, Love the car!!!

Thank you for that info, skidzam! And congratulations! So it's not impossible to get them to go a tad lower. I'm amazed they quoted you 16,500 over the phone! Would you mind telling me where in the US you are? I still haven't even found the time to do a test drive, but once the Christmas craziness is over, I'm going. Glad to hear you like the car too. I'm still trying to decide between a Jetta and a Civic. I guess the test drive and price will have to be the deciding factors.
 
BTW, does anybody have any input on whether one is more likely to get a good deal at the end of December or at the end of January? I can buy a car now, but I can also wait another month, I'm not in a hurry.

Hi BilKop! I guess I should be a little more specific. The first dealer who quoted me 17,990 and then 17,000, did so while I was at the dealership. I already had a test drive. The third quote was from the internet, on a website that offers car deals through my employer. After that quote, I called the first dealer and they beat the internet price by 250.00.
I live in New York on Long Island.
As far as choosing between a Jetta or a Civic, I can only give you my humble opinion. I have owned/leased many cars over my adult life: Peugeot x2, Sable, Camry, BMW 525, Lexus, Mitsubishi Galant, Altima and Hyundai and honestly, NOTHING DRIVES LIKE A GERMAN CAR!!
I drove a Volkswagen Golf (turbodiesel) in Italy and was so impressed, I swore my next car would be a VW. For the price, you can't beat the handling and pep.
Good luck, do your homework and I'm sure you'll come to the right decision.
Merry Christmas!
