Bought this car brand new and fell in love with it, until I realized that I was going to be at the dealer every 4 or 5 months because something failed or broke.
Near perfect VEEDUB!

When I bought my Jetta I was surprised when I hound out it only had 115 hp! It wasn't really fast but did keep up with V6 Accords. This car is near perfect with a few exceptions: it needs more power, needs more legroom both front and back, and to restyle the seat back tilt(use something else than a wheel all the way back) I think its givin me carpal tunnel syndrome. Otherwise this vehicle is more fun to drive than my Passat.

I have a base engine in my Jetta. However, that does not diminish its performance. Its very responsive. I like its handling and and I am very happy that I bought a Jetta.

Typical Jetta problems: car was routinely in shop. Either for annoying exterior hardware/mechanical issues (driver window continually fell off track) or for major electrical issues. Radio stopped working which we then noticed the horn didn't work. We were told that to fix the radio we needed to replace the steering wheel. And this would not ensure the radio would work after this. Engine sputtered and shuddered one day on a road trip which required an emergency stop at a garage to get O2 sensor replaced. Bottom line: VW does not stand by their own cars. They would just simply respond as if this is to be expected from a VW. They suggested we buy a new one.

I bought a used 2000 GLX VR6 with about 38000 miles on it in March since then I have put about 4000 miles of my own and am totally pleased with my purchase. The car is fun to drive, smooth, quite, and very comfortable. In one long weekend I drove about 1800 miles and even after a 12 hour run from ATL-PHL the car was still comfortable. The Monsoon sound system is very nice, climate control system works well, and I like the heated seats.
