May I also suggest you try to find a dealer demo/courtesy car?
They may have low miles.
I bought my GSW with 5,757 miles.

My opinion after 2012 VW quality is up , You have to remember alot of kids by 4 year old Volkswagens then tune them up beat on them then go on forums and complain.
if you go to a vw dealer usually they have very low mile dealer cars for a good price . I just bought a VW Passat with 5,200 miles for a great deal with a better than a new car warranty.
My wife's brother works for Ford so she wanted to look at the Fusion , luckily it was across the street from VW dealer , she drove it 1 block and said let's get the Passat .

2019 used Jettas are hitting the lots around here with 5k or so on the clock for around $16k. 6 year/72k bumper to bumper and I believe the CPO adds in an additional 1 year/12k. That's a lot of car for the money with a very long comprehensive warranty.
Tough to beat something like this.

On VW they added the 6/72k warranty in 2018 bumper to bumper. I am not aware of difference in price between 2017<>2018 but that is one excellent warranty.
Fusion 2.5. However, I've never been in a Jetta. Those who are recommending a Jetta probably have never been in a Fusion. Most people are brand-biased. Drive them both, and buy what you prefer.

Man, gotta watch out for "salvage title" or flood title cars. Maybe try Hertz or Avis or National, not sure which ones ran Hybrids or other cars you might like, used fleets.
The Verano is really a fancier Chevy Cruze, and not the current Cruze, the one back in 2014 or so, the Delta II Platform. Not a bad model though.
Actually a 2009-2015 Chevy Cruze, with styling that looks like a BMW 3series, is one of those under-appreciated sleeper values. Good cars with low used prices.

That sounds great! Blue is the perfect color. (Well, I like a bunch of colors, but shades of metallic blue are sa-weet.) Nice DeltaII GM platform, 2.4L LEA Ecotec direct injection, nice! Should be solid.
Of course, you know the oil and filter choice: A dexos1 full-synthetic with a Fram Ultra XG9018 oil filter for best performance.

The Jetta wasn't a bad car by any means. There were trade offs in my choice. First off the Jetta was a bigger car than the verano and it had a sunroof which the verano does not have. The Jetta also was a solid car and the 1.4 ltr turbo was a gem of an engine. But what swayed me to the verano was how quiet it was on the road at 70 mph which is what this car will be doing most of its life. The Jetta was was much louder at speed compared to the verano. Also was the fact the verano was a cpo vehicle which gives me a lot longer warranty on the vehicle should something arises. The Jetta does get a bit better gas mileage but the verano is getting around 34 miles per gallon in my first run. That 10 miles a gallon better than the vic and it rides better and is quiet
