Jetta

I've had the car for only four days and I really love it. The fit and finish is is superb, the materials are all high quality. The monsoon sound system really kicks. The ride is taut and the steering is tight and very well balanced. The suspension is sporty and it stays surprisingly flat on turns. This is a fun car to drive, it handles like it should cost another ten grand.

Great Car - Service Sucks

I love my car. Everytime I get into it I love it more. However, I have had to take it in for service 3 times in the 2 months that I have owned it. There is a rattle in the door window that they just can't seem to fix. Thank God for the Monsoon sound system. :o) I do not like the service people and I think that their level of service leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, I love the car enough to make up for their shortcomings.

A Peppy Jetta!

As a GLSTurbo Jetta owner, I'm very satisfied w/the car in the short time I've had it. Turbo runs like a dream and the automatic is very smooth. Best handling car I've ever owned. Here's hoping I don't have any of the problems other longer-term owners have had. Build quality, fit and finish, thus far appear to be excellent. A very solid car. Wasn't going to buy a volkswagen, until I test drove this little rocket. And, glad they changed the placement of the cupholders in the '03 model. Drop down cupholders, in front of controls, are rotten. Had that on my Subaru and hated it.

Have a 2002 bought in december2001. Wonderful car to drive. The turbo is very peppy and fun. The car is very nice in the city and on the road. My kids really love the car and are are comfortable in the backseat. Car radio is great, wonderful storage space and nice uncomplicated and clean looks. This car is more thn a car for the younger set. The car is a great value. The dealership has been great
