Real-DriverReview  – 2019 Volkswagen Jetta

Michelle: The features they have on the 2019 is like night and day because they added so much technology.

I really like the ambient lighting and that you pick what color it is. And, I like the sunroof a lot because it’s huge. I like the headlights.

The taillights as well so just the all-around lighting on the car.

“The features they have on the 2019 is like night and day because they added so much technology.”

Michelle: Yeah, I really like the car a lot.

It has a lot of nice features that they just added.  Because, I have an older Jetta, a GLI.  The features they have on the 2019 is like night and day.

Because they added so much technology and so much… It’s so much prettier too, you know?

“Usually, you have to pay a lot more to get nice headlights, but not for the new Jetta, which is really awesome.”

Just the interior, like Apple CarPlay and the ambient lighting. Even the headlights, because not every Jetta comes with nice headlights.  But these ones do and it’s awesome.

Usually, you have to pay a lot more to get nice headlights, but not for the new Jetta, which is really awesome.

I have a GLI, so it has nice headlights, but those are a lot more expensive than a regular Jetta, you know?

Tom: Sure. You think it’s pretty.

Michelle: It is! I mean, like-

Tom: It is a pretty car, I agree.

Michelle: It has really nice lines.
