I was so excited...my first NEW car. No more worrying about breaking down or having my car in the shop - I was buying a VW! NOT! This car stinks so bad - I don't even know where to start - I'm so angry w/ VW I just can't stand it. Gas tank was replaced after having the car for 1 month. Sunroof leaks, mass air-flow sensor had to be replaced, passenger & driver window regulators both broke within a week of eachother. VW Customer Care has reminded me that VW is not obligated to help it's customers after the warranty expires - even if they know the parts they used to build the car are crappy. Please save yourself the trouble - buy ANY other car!
My fingers are crossed

Good so far, but still, a few typical problems: Three window regulator replacements. Chipping and scratching on the inner door handles and sliding cig lighter/coin tray lid. The front spoiler assembly has been dragged off its flimsy plastic attach points. Replacement of the A/C adapter next to the coin tray. The left driver door creaks. Chances are, the mechanic's previous job was fixing shopping carts. The service center waiting room is a kingdom of Woe. The car has been fine so far, but I'm thinking about making a clean break when the lease is up.

Overall this car has been good to me. There were some unexpected repairs, but I'd gladly sacrifice 100% reliability for styling and fun. Not to say this car ever left me stranded or broke down during rush hour. It's great in the snow and rain and the fuel economy is still over 30 mpg on average. With over 80k miles I'm still on my first set of breaks and clutch. The major problem is that it burns 1 qt of oil every 1000+ miles, which is a hassle for some, but overall it's nothing that I have trouble living with. Let me mention that this car has sat in traffic for 1000s of hours - the kind of wear that breaks down a car the most - and still very few problems.

No other vehicle sold in NA can beat this combination of fuel economy and performance.

Within the first month, the first window track broke, the EPA emissions light came on, and the trunk latch stopped working. Within the next year, an engine coil had to be replaced along with a clutch, two wheel wells, and 6 more window tracks. Be careful if you decide to own a 2000 Jetta because if you park too closely to the cement parking blocks, youre bound to lose the front paneling. Im going on my second year of new-car ownership, and I cannot open the driver-side door from the inside and have to turn of the radio manually upon exiting my vechile. If I dont the radio will continue to play even though everyone has gotten out of the car.
