Ive had this car for 4 years and it blew a turbo at 80 000 km and the dc bus to the glow plugs at 90 km but it was all covered by vws excellent warranty and i havent had any problems since and i have 225 000 km on it now, would definately buy another.Great in the snow and of course mileage is unbeatable.
Do not buy!!! Please read

Ok you may think German but check the sticker, it is assembled in MEXICO.problem #1..ok so i didn't see that till after i bought the car...learn from my mistake please! i had the worst experience with my Jetta GLS 2.0 and just because the style changed doesn't mean the mechanics and reliabilty have! Hope you don't plan on putting anyone in the back because there is nooo room and the ride is very uncomfortable.i have spent many 8 hour trips in the car it stunk!...it has been in the shop more times than i remember. had an oil consumption problem (1-1.5 qts. between oil changes 3,000miles) i was told it was normal by multiple VW dealers. water pump @ 60,000 catalytic converter went. etc. ran out

Purchased my 2005.5 New Jetta 2.5 in June with 27k miles on it, like new condition. More features than everything else I looked at within this price range - loaded with leather heated seats, auto windows, wipers, and headlights, moonroof, etc. 13k miles later... (I drive a lot, especially visiting home every few weekends from college) This car is very fun to drive. It can be a little hesitant when accelerating, but does better on the Sport mode, though that quickly drains fuel. Runs smoother on mid-grade than regular. Mechanically reliable, but has minor other problems... trunk suddenly stopped locking the first time, window buttons peeling, wipers suddenly wipe for no reason, etc.

Just bought a 2005 2.5 liter with 68k miles and suffered a catastrophic engine failure. What a piece of junk! And no help from Volkwagen America. What a crappy company.........
Commendable Vehicle

My 2005 VW Jetta TDI is very fun and predictable to drive. All of its systems function fine. Its gas mileage was fairly close to 50 mpg on my first trip from St. Louis MO to Las Vegas NV.
