Paint Scratches Easily
I have had the same problems as the other reviewers but my complaint is the paint and interior plastic components. The exterior paint around the door handles shows scratch marks. The scratches aren't caused by a key, just simply from my own fingernails...and I don't have long nails. The interior plastic cover around the radio and climate control also scratches very easily.

Don't let this happen to you!!!
My jetta has always had problems. The front bumper fell off frequently. Stan Olsen wanted to charge me over $900 to fix it each time. It was very hard to find someone to work on a Volkswagen. Also, my transmission went out at 60,000. When I called Volkswagen, they were not at all concerned about the quality of their car. I would not recommend this car to anyone.
NEVER BUY ANOTHER VW
I was so excited to buy a new vw, but that excitment faded quickly. The coils in the engine are defective. Volkswagen will only replace them as they crack so you are forced to send your car to the dealership everytime it breaks down. They do give you a rental but I had a rental for over 2 months because they had so many problems with other cars that the coils where on back order. This was not the service I was expecting from vw. I also had been complaining about my drivers side window having problems and they said there is another manufacture problem but they will not fix the problem untill the window actually breaks and slides down into the door.
2000 Jetta
My favorite car I've ever owned so far. I'd keep it indefinitely (unusual for me) if the gas mileage was better. I'd return to VW if they can get the mileage up!
