Rental car review - 2024 VW Jetta. Really liked this car. Bad rental tires of course, but within those limits the handling was excellent. Engine is the base spec turbo 1.5L, and struggled a bit on steep hills, but it was fast enough to not be a problem. Adaptive Cruise Control is a first for me - slightly annoying in places, but once you get used to it, a handy tool. Android Auto, comfortable ride, huge storage space, average 33mpg over 800 miles. Would absolutely rent again.
@TomF we had a manual 1.8T wagon almost twenty years ago and it was fun to drive, good acceleration, nice gearbox, reliability was a mess though. Drivers window fell into door while driving it at speed in the 405 while raining, among other things. But that was a long time ago.
@mtothevizzah@TomF I had a manual 1.9 TDI wagon and it was a joy to drive. Also very satisfying to regularly get 50+ mpg when it was advertised as 44. I returned it after the emissions scandal.
