This car is so much fun to drive, it's super smooth and great when you need an extra boost. I love the interior style and the outside design is solid. I would recommend this car to anyone...it's perfect!

I've had my 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg for a little over two years, and have enjoyed every minute I've spent in this car. It gets awesome gas milage in city and highway driving, speed, preformance, its all there. My car's reliability came into question when I discovered 35% of the parts for my car were assembled in Mexico and ~25% in the U.S. But, I'm happy to say that nothing other than the breaks, a burned out tape deck (lovin' the Monsoon stereo too much) and the occational oil change have put me back at the dealer.

This is my third Jetta and they just get better. I've owned this vehicle for 3 years and have not had any problems whatsoever. It is great on gas. I get about 33 MPG in the city. I would continue to buy VW.

I purchased my jetta in oct of 07. Ive had to replace a cooling sensor water pump radiator hose and thermostat. I commute 60 miles daily so it doesnt surprise me that ive done this. I wish I had gotten the 1.8t for the horse power but that gets me in trouble. I am overall happy with the car to this point. I firmly believe if you take care of it it will take care of you. Oooo my radio stopped working but I was thinking of purchasing something different anyway. This is as I like to call it a cheap luxury car..... This is as close as I'm gonna get to a BMW or Mercedes so yes I love it. And VW has a history of being diff which I like.

owning this 03 jetta has been wonderful and my kids love the car as well.Plus it being a 5 speed,makes it more fun to drive.The only thing that i would change is the location of the cup holders.When your on the freeway and your driving this vehicle you could be doing 80 miles an hour and not even know it.
