2023 VW Jetta Sport

[Dohc98vteC]

Hey guys, picked this up a few weeks ago wanted to share. My first VW or Euro car for that matter. Drives buttery smooth and the 1.5 engine picks up speed deceptively fast. I’m breaking her in before I test things like the XDS electronic diff. The 2022 models I looked at had a credit for “deletes” of the rear traffic alerts and blind spot monitoring. This one is complete and has minimal options so I pulled the trigger. Also new for 2023 are aluminum pedals and Sport badges on the B pillars.

Very nice. I wasn't aware there was a sport trim.

Looks great. Would love to see some interior pics.

Good choice/nice car.

What is the VW manual recommends for engine oil?

 

[Greasymechtech]

Manual transmission?

Also new for 2023 are aluminum pedals.

Hopefully there are three of them??

I like it.

We rented a 2021 Passat in Florida that was this color. Very sharp.

So the electronic diff is for the front wheels? Must say I’ve never heard of this.

Nice car.

The blind spot mirrors is a really odd delete as it is such a standard item now even on basic models. I do like that feature in our 2018 Tiguan SE.

Thankfully they've gotten to sensible naming, instead of alphabet soup.

Nice car.

Nice Jetta. The XDS system has been around for ~10 years now, you really won't notice it unless you are flat out 10/10 wheel squealing cornering.

Chip shortage is my guess.

Yes, just uses the ABS to help reduce spin on the inside f. wheel during corning to reduce understeer...just think of it as an extension of the ESC system.

Hard to find, think of it as a GLI lite.

Yep, if you count the dead pedal

Good choice! Enjoy the superb fuel economy and low end torque.

Nice! Is Sport the replacement for R Line or something else?

Seems like a cheaper alternative to the GLI without 2.0 engine, similar pricing as the R line

Basically an appearance package.
