First i think is agile, easy to park (i live in NY). For a compact car is very roomy and have a big trunk. Now as most of the owners i have a problem with the power windows(fr.driver side , and rear pass.side)they both broke down bet. nov. and dec. of 2002, to get it fix $350 each(ouch!)one of my headlights broke and a used one cost 180dollars. My point is that if you have a problem with this car you'll pay more than any other car (in the same category of course). I'm switching to the Mitsubishi Outlander.

This is the absolute worse car I’ve even owned. I’ve dubbed it “Christine”. Let’s see there in the O2 sensor issue. the green-ooze that drips out of door onto frame, the horrible gas mileage the tail light that needs to be replaced ever month, the moon roof comes off the tracks, the gas tank door won’t latch anymore,leaking off oil, the safety belt latch keeps breaking. Customer Service of VW, they SUCK and are RUDE. Not to mention when my Jetta broke down in the middle of a Midwest Winter two hours from my house, they didn’t send someone right away and than they lost my car. Yup, didn’t know which dealership the car had been taken too, this ordeal lasted over a week.

I'm sorry others have had so much frustration with their Jettas. I had a bunch of things go wrong in the first 6 months, but they were all fixed under warranty, so I don't really mind. Nothing has broken twice and nothing has broken out of warranty (36,000 miles in the first year). This dealer and service department are top-notch. I drive an hour for service -- even for oil changes! They are as cheap as Jiffy-lube, and they know it's a VW, not a "Volvo" like JL tried to tell me.

I purchased my jetta used, stupid me! First off the O2 sensor went out, then the fuel latch won't latch anymore, the cruise only works 1/3 of the time, yellow goo leaks out the bottom of the doors in summer, then finally the biggst of all problems the transmission failed at 58500 miles. BIGGEST mistake I've ever made. Consider something else before you make the mistake I made.
