Used 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Consumer Reviews
perfect commuter car
After waiting for almost 4 months it finally arrived last December. 13000 m on the o. now. Getting 53-56 miles per gallon.
Bang for Your Buck
I've had no problems with my Jetta. It is a pleasure to drive as well as fun. Kudos to VW.

Always broken, Expensive to fix
Granted, this car was used and had 109,000 miles when I bought it, but it has been nothing but trouble. Had to have it after my cousin got one (and I got to drive it)! Both radiator fans broke within 2 weeks, $460. Multiple cylinder misfires. Some crazy coolant system-related engine code (P2182) that never goes away, had to have the thermostat and the thermostat sensor replaced, $400+. Strut mounts and CV boot joint need to be replaced. Transmission slips going into 4th. Finally found a good VW certified mechanic, but parts are expensive! Trying to sell the thing.
Big wheels, lotsa gear and even more fun
I've had this car for a month and have over 5000 miles on it already. I traded in a 2001 Maxima SE with the 225HP V-6 and don't fell like I gave up much performance. This one is smoother, quieter and more fun then the Max was.
Jetta TDI Wagon
Awesome gas mileage and good performance from this TDI with a five speed trans.
