Used 2000 Volkswagen Jetta Consumer Reviews
Great car, annoying problems
Great driving experience, great handling (w/17" wheels). Fuel economy is great as well. There a are NUMEROUS small problems and quality details, and most dealers as well as VW do little to back them up. Anything plastic on the inside you can count on deteriorating, or breaking at some point. Not enough to make me sorry for owning, but VW and their dealers should do more in the way of good will for their customers. Despite being a great car, their sales numbers are sliding because of the issues, although they are small.
Baby Audi
One of my favorite things about this car is the way that it drives. The ride is very smooth and the engine is extremely quiet. I have had the turbo waste gate replaced, but all in all this is the best car that I have ever bought and I would not hesitate to buy another one tomorrow. My only complaint is that the back seat is a little snug for taller people.

FAST AND FURIOUS
I have owned my VR6 w/ A/T since July 1999.This car is designed to be DRIVEN!! and believe me I have pushed it to the limits. I love the power and the performance. I enjoy the sound system and the interior lighting. During the first five years, I replaced the battery, a couple of sensors and rear brake pads. My window parts were replaced under warranty and my cup holder is broken. No other problems after 50,000 HARD miles. Now my check engine light comes on more frequently and I have more wind noise. I just had to have a coolant leak fixed and the engine cooling fan motors replaced. So far, the fun and performance of the car has outweighed the upkeep expenses but I doubt it lasts to 100,000.
my car
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.
Love it/Hate it
I love the look and ride of my 2000 Getta GLS, but unfortunately, I never have a chance to drive my car because it's continuously in the shop. For the 2 1/2 years I've had it, the O2 sensor, catalytic converter, elec fans, thermostat, many many fuses, etc, etc, etc. have all been replaced. I will NEVER buy another because of all the problems I am having (it's in the shop right now).
