The Pros: The car drives smooth and handles well. The blue & red interior lighting scheme makes you feel as if you're in a spaceship. The Cons: The interior moonroof liner broke the day after I got the car. The driver door window fell into the door. The whole window cranking mechanism had to be replaced. The plastic glove door & the center console broke off. The moonroof leaks. The a/c doesn't work at all. And there is a mysterious problem with the cat. converter & sensors. Replaced all and STILL getting the check eng. light. Diagnostics keep saying it's a random code, no real problem. Right. TRY to pass inspection with the light on. Not in NY baby! Now I have frost on inside windshield.

What a huge disappointment this car has been. I've had it in the shop for the radio/stereo/CD player alone a minimum of a half dozen times (and they've never given me a loner). Now, just outside of the warranty (on a 3 year leased car mind you), my 'mass air flow system' (or something like that) goes. MD emissions thing? Anyway, $500 out of my pocket. VW of America's Customer Service sucks. Don't even try talking to them - they're useless. The whole reason I bought a new car is so I didn't have to spend my days in service department... What a disappointment!

My Little Jetta

I have had my Jetta for barely over a year and love it! I enjoy driving my little car, but it's not fun to pay for when something breaks down. My catalytic converter came lose and thankfully I can weld the shield back on, but to get a new one would cost around $800 bucks!! I keep having to get oil leaks fixed, but for 125,000 miles, the car is still in great condition! I haven't had this much fun driving a car in quite a while! Speakers are almost gone as well, but the car had a FULL SIZE tire in the back when one of mine went flat! Perfect!! Also, the brake light wouldn't turn off after the car was off, but if you take it to VW dealership, it's defective and is replaced for free.

The Jetta I have driven for the last 9/10 years has been good to me overall. That said, I would not buy another Volkswagen the next time I purchase a car. It is a sharp looking vehicle, fun to drive, and very comfortable. My issues have mainly been with the quirkiness of mechanical instruments and engine parts. I think you could find a Japanese car for the same money and find better reliability. Common issues include replacing the following: Water pump (impeller is plastic on original and designed to fail; eventually the inside of it melted and had to be replaced. The catalytic converter needed replacing (warranty is 10yr/120K miles FYI). And various other check engine lights etc.

This is my second Jetta. I have replaced the water pump, power steering pump (all under warranty), ignition coil and wires (cost $400!). At this point, I only have 30,000 miles on the car and I worry that it will turn into a major nightmare. I have a current problem with a very rough idle and start, but the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. I love the design, handling and performance, but I am disapointed with the quality. My cupholders, and armrest have all broken and been fixed. My back seat cupoholder is now broken again. My other problem with the car is that it squeaks and rattles a lot....good thing for the nice monsoon stereo.
