Solid Car, Fun to Drive

Paid less than the TMV price on Edmunds.com. The car is *solid*, puts a grin on your face on corners and turns. No problems with anything so far. Quiet, sturdy, quality all around you. The built-in premium CD player sounds great. I just splurged on model-specific rubber floor mats from VW's Driver gear web site as well as the cup holder insert for the center arm-rest. Now I have nothing to complain about regarding that mis-placed cup holder above the CD player.

Ilove my new car! It was the best choice I have made. The rid is awsome! Everyon compliments me on how cute, but perfessional looking it is. The price was right, too! I am proud to be a VW Jetta owner!

FUN TO DRIVE WHEN IT'S NOT IN THE SHOP

I bought my 2002 Jetta used with only 32000 miles on it. A week after my purchase the brake lights didn't work...which was a recall so I took it to the dealer. Two months after owning the car my temperature sensor went out. A month after that my triptonic steering needed to be replaced which was about a 900 dollar fix. A few months after that I had to have the carbon cleaned out of my car another 800 dollars. This car is so fun to drive it is a shame it is so unreliable. The turbo was a lot of fun for a young driver like myself. I loved the car but it didn't love me back. I now am happy with my Toyota xB.

Tight shutlines and a build quality normally associated with costlier vehicles. Rich interior materials. The base model includes 4 wheel disc brakes,ABS, side curtain airbags, dual front airbags, and front side bolster airbags standard. Honda charges a premium for ABS. Attention-to-detail is immaculate both inside and out. ABS plastic pans cover the underside of the car, properly diffusing air, causing less buffeting and lower wind noise. As with other 4 cylinder cars, the 2.0 engine bay is neat and all fluids are clearly marked and within easy reach. I am thoroughly impressed with VW
