29k mi. Have replaced the transmission, AC..twice, window clips..twice (window dropped into door), climatronic ac thermostat, CD player, radio, cup holder, center console/leather arm rest..(handle broke), battery...(they used unsealed batteries before 2002 which leak in hot weather like here in Houston), and have reprogrammed transmission points...8 times (red lines and shakes car). There is 2 second delay when shifting from R to D. The brakes wear out at 15-20k mi and have no sound indicator so that you ruin the routers w/out even knowing it. This wolf in sheeps clothing will take every dollar you have in repairs.

Certainly not my most reliable car, but it just has a lot of personality and it's certainly been my favorite. MK IV VWs are famous for a handful of issues and mine's had a few of them, all luckily covered under my CPO warranty since I bought it from a VW dealer. It was really love at first sight, a VR6 manual in silver with grey interior. The dealer let me take it out by myself and I was sold. I still love to drive it 4 years later and it still looks like new, aside from a couple of minor things. The issues? The infamous coilpack, MAF sensor, throttle body, and minor mechanical things like the latch on the armrest. VW recalled quite a few things before they ever failed on me.
One best Jetta ever

I owned a 1992 MB 400E before this Jetta. I used to have a 1986 Jetta also. By buying this car I didn't lose the power/weight ration thanks to the high low-end torque. I enjoy the manual transmission something I missed in MB. There have been very few flaws with the car. I think I am going to keep it another 2 years until I can get the next gen Jetta or back to E-class again. I would recommend Jetta for those who want to have fun while driving even in a traffic jam.
