Is a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta a good first car for a teen driver?

Question

I'm looking for a car but i can't decide. It has to have 4 doors and a good gas millage. I really don't like the new honda civic or the toyota corolla and the Mitsubishi lancer looks like a boy car. Is a Volkswagen Jetta a good car? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

good choice

much better than the Mitsu

can you wait or afford the 09 VW Jetta TDI

going to get 40 to 60 mpg and be green

Honda Civic is better than the Corolla

have you seen the Honda Fit?

Answer 2

I have a Jetta and absolutely love it...

It's safe, has a great audio system, isn't too fast or too slow, good looking, good on gas, handles well and is very comfortable. It even does remarkably good in the snow (my mechanic was blown away by it's ability to get up icy driveways).

Also, it's not too expensive to fix, as long as you follow the maintenance schedule.

If you can wait try to get the new TDI diesel model. The older TDI golf's were very reliable and amazing on gas. The new ones are supposed to be even better.

Answer 3

A very good choice.  You will be happy.
