Used 2002 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon Consumer Reviews
Lemon
We have been very dissatisfied with our 2000 VW Jetta. We bought the top of the line Jetta because we thought we would have it forever, but are selling it in less than two years. Broken things have included: sunroof (got stuck open and pieces began falling out), cup holder, six changer CD player, left back door wouldn't open, front grill pieces. Malfunctions include: mass air flow system, electronic power control, emmissions system, and engine problems.
Good bang for the buck...
I'm really very impressed with the quality and amenities on this car. We bought the basic "GL" model, and are very satisfied with it; the only feature I miss is the electric windows. The handling is pretty nimble for a wagon of its size. As for the engine and tranny, we're still in the break-in period, so we've avoided flogging it too much. The car also swallows a huge amount of stuff with the rear seats folded, in part due to the high roofline. We're all smiles.

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!
appreciate
that this car is best and safest
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.
