Used 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Consumer Reviews
Good choice
I have this Jetta for only 2 weeks but this is the better choice that I buy. this car have a super luxury interior and a sport look in the exterior, the moonson sound is awesome, it have 6 spekers wooo...
Mexico+Tequilla=1.8T
The engine, suspension and transmission have been excellent. The brakes as well as the fit and finish have been a constant source of aggrevation. Although properly cared for the supposed quality BBS rims have been CRAP! Rattles in the speaker area, faulty rotors and rims that pit/clear coat failure make me a rather proturbed owner. After ditching a 99' Beetle for similar reasons, this one will follow shortly. My days with Volkswagen have come to an end.

Expensive to service
Handles well. The seats collect fuzz- balls, however with a little work and a pet sponge they can be removed. Rubber interior parts peel. We've replaced the door handles twice and now the armrest is peeling. By the way the armrest also broke it won't hold position. Some of the interior lights work sporatically. The regular sevice maintenance is expensive. The 50000 mile scheduled maintenance costs about $375 and cosists of mostly checking things and replacing plugs, air filter, a tire rotation and an oil change. Good news is my windows haven't yet fallen out.
VR6 MMMM
Great Car...Really! If you are looking for a Good car with classic lines, that you will continue to love even when things don't always go perfectly, then the VR6 is a great choice. The car rides well on the highway and well paved secondary roads..on choppy roads at low speed it can be a little unconfortable. High Speed handling and peformance 220 klm is exceptional, the sweet spot is 120 mph.. The passing power really surprises many V8 american cars i.e
Make good commercials-but horrible cars
I bought this car in February of 2009. It had 87,000 miles on it. I got it for a good price because the glove box was broken and the seller wanted to get rid of it. Bad idea. Soon after driving it around the grill fell off, the driver's mirror fell off, the seats don't recline, the lid that covers the outlet didn't close, the MAF sensor has been replaced 3 times, if you spill water on the seats it stains, and today my trunk decided to stop opening. Either do your research before you buy a Jetta (I would not recommend it however) or buy a Mazda, which I am about to do if I can sell it.
