This is a great car. Fast. Efficient. A best kept secret in the USA. In Europe the TDi rules. Customizes well. Strong chassis. Highly reccomend this car.

Once things start to break, it is all over. Windows falling down are a constant problem. Door handles are peeling apart. Computer chip in front driver side door shorted, which causes the car not to realize the door is closed, and dings for the first 2 minutes of the ride. Mass airflow sensor, fuel pump relay have had several problems and replaced multiple times. Fan for A/C and heat broke. Windsheild washer fluid doesn't make it to the windsheild.

I bought this car used and started having problems with it a week afer I bought it. I've had to spend so much money on repairs that I probably could have bought a new, reliable car instead. The windows always malfunction and fall into the doors. The glove box breaks, wiring is faulty, repairs are very expensive, AC compressor broke, lights always go out. It doesn't help that when I tried to have repairs done the dealership kept trying to return it to me without fixing anything or left tools in the engine.
Unreliable Jetta

I would never buy another VW. This car has costed me over 2500.00 in the past two years. Several problems that are a small fortune to fix. Not reliable and always in the repair shop.
Great car

A great car... The 2.0 liter engine could do with more horses though...the styling is great and handling is superb !!! I have not had any major complaints about the car (the cup holder did break in winter)No electrical problems...no engine problems. the stock tires were horrible (goodyear) replaced them at 36K miles (antenna was stolen once.. I have 45K miles on it now and I still love driving the car... wish I had gone for the vr6... waiting for the 2003 vr6
