Tires GISLAVED or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
Pros: handles great on snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.
Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

I bought a MK3 Jetta 2.0 gas just to get me through for a couple months after I crashed my 4Runner. It was one of my favorite cars. Decent power, handled great. Coldest a/c and hottest heat of any car I have ever owned. I put a good set of snow tires on it and it would go anywhere.
Pros: decent power, handled great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta

Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.
Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.
Pros: extremely reliable, no issues
Vehicle:

Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
