Great car
I've been VERY pleased with my Jetta. Worst gas mileage to date is 42 mpg and have had as high as 53 on the highway. I filled up before I left in Kansas City and had a little over 1/4 tank left by the time I hit Dallas, doing 80+ the whole way. Diesel engine suggests changing the 100% synthetic oil ever 10,000 miles, which saves a few bucks. I've put 32,500 miles on since I bought it and the only problem I've had is the radio's ground cable needing replaced (which the dealership did at no cost and provided a courtesy car). Interior is fantastic and standard features are far better than comparative cars for the price. Poor- mans BMW!
Don't Buy One!!
My father sold us the vehicle because we needed a reliable car and this one has had no problems. Before he sold it to us he had the 40000 mile service performed. Since then we have had the car back in the shop 3 times for over $250 each time (o-ring in air conditioning, brake light, stabilizer bearing, brake light sensor) and now the master cylinder (brakes) is out and they want over $500! They act as if it's my fault and, of course, nothing is covered by warranty. I will never purchase a VW again!!!
TDI
it's great, fun to dive, efficient, take biodiesel, reliable, no problems with this car
Utilitarian with fun
I have driven a TDI for 4 years now and still enjoy driving it. I live in Colorado so snow tires are neccesary in the winter but she is still fun to drive 4 years later. It could use a few more horses but for 50mpg it is hard to beat. Make sure you get the additive for the winter because fuel line freeze up will happen with the diesel.
jetta 1.8t
this is the most fun i've had driving a car since my old GTI. upgrade the turbo with a simple 10 minute chip upgrade and now you've got 200hp in a $19,000 car.
