My All Time Favorite Car - 03 Jetta wagon
Of course its looks caught my eye first. Cute, but more than cute - stylish. Some cars have a classic, timeless design like a certain Honda Civic. This generation of Jetta does too. Bought it used with 21K miles, and gradually fell in love with it. Never got great gas mileage, about 21mpg. But I liked its zippy handling. Great car for city driving (and parking). Very useful cargo area. Rear seat a bit cramped for big adults. Engine is remarkable. Once, by necessity, drove it 8 miles without oil. Replaced punctured oil pan, added oil, and kept on going. Difficult to clean the beige interior, so I sold it. Hard to find a car this small on outside, this big on inside, so fun to drive.

The best car. I love driving it.
Sporty and reliable wagon, fun to drive
Have had 0 (zero) problems with my '03 Jetta 2.0 wagon, my first VW after many Hondas. While I can't knock Hondas, I'm impressed by the Jetta's step up in ride, general refinement and classy manners. The 2.0 won't put you ahead of the pack but there's plenty of oomph for the average driver. Great 5-sp shifter, superb sound from the standard CD/radio/cassette system, great bump- smoothing ride, good looks inside and out, what's not to like? And given the plethora of standard features I rate it high for value. It makes me smile every time I drive it.
What a car!!!
What a pleasure to return to VW. I had a 1995 Jetta and then a Ford and could not wait to return to VW. The new Jetta is fun and has everything you could ask for. The wagon is a nice family car.
