This is my first VW and to be honest it will be my last. I have had no major problems with the car , however a number of minor issues. I think anyone who is looking to buy VW should look around before buying.

Do you like to Visit the Mechanic and spend lots of $$ for repairs, then I have the car for you. I couldn't pass it's first Emmissions Test, due to some electronic failure. The water temp gauge broke--another bad sensor. The the check Engine light comes on twice in 5000 miles. EAch time requiring a $90 diagnostic.

GLX...With tons of problems

2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6 4dr Sedan

I bought my 2000 Jetta VR6 GLX in 2002. It has been in the shop all the time. It stalls spiratically, and no dealership or independent shop knows how to fix it. Engine Workshop Light and Emission Workshop lights always go on; I take it to the shop, and the code the car gives is wrong. The window fell one day and had to be replaced, along with the underside of my bumper. Regardless of all the machanical problems, it is a fun car to drive when it runs. Great interior.

Nether Buy Jetta

My car was in service 17 times in 2 years. Couple times they kept the car for 4-5 days, because they do not have parts (?!) and need to consult factory engineers (?!). Engine malfunctions, oxygen sensors, water pump, multiple electrical problems, security system failure - all "excitements" of going to service almost every month + endless hours in a way trying to get some answers from Vw service. With very appealing interior, it's very poor quality makes this car absolutely unreliable. Please, do not make your life miserable - do not buy Jetta.

Disappointing for a VW--Caviat Emptor!

Buyer Beware!I have a 2000 Jetta GL and Sadly,I must say that this will be my last!At 24K miles,the temperature gauge stopped working.When I asked the dealer about it,they said it would cost $90 bucks JUST to hook the car up to their "computer" to see WHY it was happenning!Also,around 20K miles,the car's suspension(they think)started making a loud "sqeaking/crunching" sound whenever I turned right,or took a corner while breaking.My rear breaks were shot at 22K, and after only normal driving.My check engine light and ABS light go on and off for no reason.The radio controls are inconveniently located too low to the floor.
