I owned a 5 speed 2000 Jetta for about 7 years, bought it used with 4,000 miles on it. Overall I was really satisfied; never had any major malfunction and never got a Check Engine light on. Drove it for about 50,000 miles. I actually bought another one but automatic when I passed this on to my wife. Same good experience overall. However, did experience the issues with the locks and windows. Very hard to diagnose and repair. Fortunately got guidance on how to repair them by myself in a VW forum and fixed them all, but was hard nonetheless. It appears to be that after reaching the 8 yrs threshold, soldering joints in the electronics start to fail.
Too good to trade in

Traded in an SUV for this car when it was 3 years old and had about 30,000 miles. After getting over the initial shock of how tiny the vehicle was, almost everything has been positive since. This is the second-best car my family has owned (the first was a '98 Cabrio). We've had GM, Honda, Toyota, and Mitsubishi, but nothing like the tight handling of the VW. At 135k, still a quiet, smooth ride. We've been through two minivans in the time we've had the Jetta, and it might be time to replace the Jetta next, though it's showing no signs of quitting. Dealt with the CEL for the O2 sensor issue for about 4 years-- but not too much just to ignore. Also had some engine fan issues after 100k.

Over all, I am more than satisfied with my Jetta. I live in Colorado, so power in little cars is scarce, but my Jetta climbs in the mountains without making a fuss. Yah, I wish I had the 1.8T because of the lack of acceleration (still smokes Civics), but for the money, you get a lot with the GL. Most of the bells and whistles found only as options on other cars are standard and as far as a luxurious feel, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda take a back seat. My only gripe is that my dealership used a cheap 'clear-bra' and it's starting to fade and they won't accept responsibility since the company that installed them went bankrupt.

I have had my car for a while now, and the attention to detail that VW has put into the car amazes me everyday. The features theat the car has is great, from heated seats to self adjsting mirrors, to automatic windshield wipers. THE car is perfect, the R6 engine sounds great but it does comsume a whole lot of gas. I average about 20- 25 miles a gallon.
Great Car

I have had a great experience with this car. I have had it for 2 years and driven it about 27,000 miles. The only problem I had was a plastic vent cover on the lower portion of the front bumper was knocked out while driving. Also I had a flat tire but was quite impressed with the full-size spare and the ease of use of the included (although strange-looking) jack. My car has the five-speed and I personally think it transforms the personality of the car to fun compared to the automatic. I plan on getting another Volkswagen when my lease is up on this car.
