2011 Jetta (MKVI)

The rear screams E90/92 3 series... Especially that trunk wit the taillights and license plate placement. Looks almost exactly like the E90 sedan trunk.

Wrong corolla you have it compared to. This was on the one on the market when this Jetta first came out

lol, that doesn't look bad if that is how it will really turn out. Stick a VR6 in that bad boy, and I would buy it.

So wait... wasn't the Jetta one of hte most unreliable VW cars out there? Does this mean things will improve? Sigh I really want a GTI, but I have people telling me left and right about maintenance. That's something I really don't want to deal with. The first 36k might be fine, but after that I really don't know.

I have an 07 GLi, which is pretty much a Jetta w/Turbo. I've had 3 minor issues with my car; none that really bug me much.

Rear right brake light keeps blowing - I've put 2 new bulbs in the 2 and quarter years I've owned it.

Had the shift-linkage snap off. (Fixed under warranty.)

Have a weird vibration when I put load on the engine on really hot days (90 degree days) when I push the car. At first I thought it was the clutch, but I am leaning towards a problem on the drivers front wheel + steering. I could never figure it out, and it is so rare, that it could never be replicated by the dealer.

I have an 08 GTI, asides for the DSG recall Ive had nothing go wrong with it, almost 18k on it now. I put the APR chip in about 10k miles ago and even with the extra power and driving with a lead foot its been fine.
 
The front looks good but the new taillights are a little disappointing. I really dig the mkV taillights since they darkened them in 2008.

No friend, that's the A4 rear, which is not very surprising at all considering it's a glorified Jetta...

iirc, A4 used to ride on the passat platform, but recently audi has been given its own platform with the engine oriented the proper way. suspension design may be similar.
