I had an 09 jetta sel Tdi and a 2012 jetta wagon Tdi sel. Bought a new jetta tdi 2015 and I am pretty disappointed. The interior is cloth, door panels are plastic, steering wheel plastic and on and on.
But the worst feature is road and cabin noise, a choppy ride, and I feel every bump and imperfection from driving over less than very smooth road surfaces.
Question is: are all of the jetta s's like this? I like the idea of a new Tdi that could last for many years and miles and that is the good news. The bad news is this car will last many years and miles!
I've ridden in Passat tdi's that didn't seem to be this loud and bumpy and my previous tdi's weren't this noisey. Are the Jetta SEL's that much quieter? The only available SEL's in my area are used ones and they want more for one with 40-70 K miles than I paid for my new one.
I'd appreciate some advice. I really don't want to put 150k miles on this seemingly cheap made car. Even the doors sound loud and cheap when you slam them. Do they leave out sound insulation on these Jetta S'? thanks in advance.
