The Volkswagen Jetta has enjoyed enduring popularity for decades and has a longstanding reputation for its sleek combination of style, comfort, and efficiency. This spacious sedan appeals to drivers who want ample storage, competitive legroom, and luxury features at an affordable price. Our used car selection at VW of Marion frequently features this enduring favorite.
The Volkswagen Jetta is a popular choice for drivers who are looking for a comfortable compact sedan. The Jetta has been on the market since 1984, so there are dozens of options to choose from. The Jetta entered its seventh generation with the 2019 redesign which gave it a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for 147 horsepower. This increased to a 1.5-liter engine in 2022.
The Jetta offers solid fuel economy and a comfortable ride with faux leather seats in most models. The cabin is surprisingly quiet for its class. The 2020 model is a great used find with solid standard safety features, including an automatic post-crash response system. If you’re looking for a sportier ride, the 2019 Jetta GLI is the model to look for. This version offers a 228-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that bolts from zero to 60 in 5.6 seconds.
Drivers interested in the extreme cost-savings of an older model should look for the 2011 Jetta. This model year was one of the most reliable to hit the market. The first release in the sixth generation, the 2011 VW Jetta rolled out with a roomier interior than its predecessors, providing ample legroom and a spacious trunk. You can find the 2011 Jetta with four different engine options, providing plenty of choices for used car shoppers.
The Jetta has a solid lifespan that averages 160,000 to 185,000 miles, making it a great choice for a used car purchase. The Volkswagen brand offers reliability and longevity that you can count on to keep you on the road. The carmaker regularly gets solid ratings for customer satisfaction. The Jetta has been part of its lineup for decades, demonstrating the incredible staying power of this car.
Buying even a gently used vehicle can cut your costs significantly. A Volkswagen Jetta depreciates by 17% on average within the first five years. After ten years, a Jetta will go for about half of its original purchase price. Insurance is typically cheaper for a used vehicle than a new one, helping you save even more.
When you’re shopping for a used Jetta, there are a few key things to look for. First, check the vehicle’s mileage. The model year only tells you how old the vehicle is. The mileage tells you how much wear and tear it’s sustained. A well-maintained vehicle with low mileage is always better than a high-mileage alternative, even if the high-mileage car is newer. Whenever possible, get the maintenance history for the vehicle as well. A CARFAX vehicle history report includes all reported service and maintenance records, giving you a good idea of how the car was cared for.
For the greatest peace of mind, look for a certified pre-owned Jetta. Volkswagen of Marion ensures the quality and reliability of every vehicle in our CPO inventory. Certified pre-owned vehicles must go through a 100+ point dealer inspection that checks the engine, transmission, steering, and brakes. These vehicles even come with warranty protection.
Model years 2017 and older or 2020 and newer have a two-year/24,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty. The 2018 and 2019 model years come with a 1-year/12,000-mile warranty. CPO Jettas come with a CARFAX vehicle history report, a 3-month SiriusXM Platinum Plan trial subscription, and two years of 24-hour roadside assistance.
