From the first moment i took the test drive i fell in love, the only thing i could think is, so much more power than my cavalier. Well i have had it since may 2008 and up until December the car drove great. The first thing i had to get replaced was the battery. February every light on the car went out. They all had to be replaced one by one. March came and the water pump goes out. Not a big deal you know, the dealer did sell me an extended warranty. May, my sunroof starts acting crazy like it wants to close but it stops and opens up. My rear left signal goes out every time i use the lights. In Arizona the heat is extreme, some days it takes about 25 minutes for the Ac compressor to kick on

I've had my Jetta TDI for a year now and have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised with it. Its gas mileage is great, as expected. I get around 42 mpg around town and just completed a 2,000 mile trek where I got nearly 52 mpg! It is surprisingly fun to drive (and quiet) for a diesel. I love it!

Did not have trouble until now at 105000 km. I lost power. Still at the dealership and who knows what all is wrong. They are starting with one part at a time. Since when should a care only run well for 100000 km and then be off of warranty. Does not make any sense to me and I should have checked the warranty closer. Have been told warranty is warranty and you are over the km. Waiting for the final results.
2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 5-speed PK2

First, I'm disappointed VW removed most of the convenience features found on the 2005.5 Jettas. The car is reasonably fun to drive and handles better than my former car ('03 Maxima SE). It's not a speedster and performs about the same as my last Jetta ('85 GL gasser). Oddly enough from the inside it sounds a bit like my old '66 Bug. This is a decent mid-level commuter car with European demeanor. I'm getting 45 mpg with a 5-speed. It's a Volkswagen through and through. There's minimal clatter, smoke and diesel odor, but the car does require a bit more user maintenance and attention than a 4-cyl. gasser: special oil, diesel additives, driving habits, etc. It's really a mileage geek's car.

Bought my TDI Brand new had to wait almost 4 months to get it. I have a manual transmission and the only problem I have had with the car is the clutch went out at 13,000 miles. Of course this is a wear item that is only covered for 12,000 miles. After doing some research found out that I was not the only one having this issue. Had to argue with the dealership but finally got them to replace it under warranty. Otherwise great car lots of fun to drive. Great MPG (41/49). The only other complaint is the air conditioning could be better. Does not do well unless car is going over 30 mph. I do get a lot of compliments on the car, almost as many as when we're on the harley.
