Got unlucky
I purchased a used 2007 VW Jetta about a year ago as my first car with 139K miles on it. I’m not sure if it is because the previous owners never took care of it, but let me give a run down of repairs so far.... 141K spark plugs and coils went out, 144k throttle body went out, now at 146k camshaft sensor and adjuster gone out. I’ve drive this car less than 8K miles and it seems I need a new repair every 2 months or less. So far I’ve paid more for the repairs than what the cars worth, and I have no choice since I don’t have enough money for a new car at the moment. The car has never broke down on me so I guess that’s a plus... Volkswagens are very high maintenance cars and sometimes I am scared to even drive it because I’m worried about the check engine light coming on... AGAIN. Stick to Toyota or Honda if you don’t want your car in the shop every couple months

2007 Jetta Wolfsburg edition 5Cyl Auto
This car is very fun to drive, and for its price it's well worth every penny. I'm a male 23 years old, and sure the jetta's are typically known to be "chick" cars, which i found ridiculous, personally. But that just goes to show people, than buying a big truck doesn't make you a man, rising above the influence and not giving a damn what people think perhaps helps. But anyway, what i do find a bit irritating is that the aux connection is in the glove department, which is pretty inconvienant. I dont know what those germans were thinking. The turning radius is great, and for a 150hp it accelerates very well. Lots of space in the trunk, sound quality is decent, heated seats are amazing.

Brake problem!
Not a bad car overall. But I guess some lucky few (including me) have experienced defective brakes. I had to replace the rear pads and rotors at 21,000 miles and now again 9,000 miles later! VW claims this is normal wear and tear. I've owned and driven many cars and never had to replace pads, let alone rotors before 40,000 miles. There is no brake wear indicator light for the rear brakes, only for the front. The rotors are designed so that they have to also be replaced every time the pads are replaced. Very expensive!
As Expected
This is not a sexy car, but it offers good service and comfort at a very favorable value. "The People's Car"
Love It!
I traded an '01 Cavalier with 136,000 miles on it for a VW Jetta Wolfsburg. My fiancee has an A4 Audi. These cars are very similar, but not the same. So far, other than the vanity light not working (dealer repaired), the car is great. It has lots of power, handles great, and it's comfortable. I wish it came in blue though. I think we are going to trade the A4 in on a Jetta GLI and save $6,000-$8,000. It just has no quattro AWD. I was leery about the car being built in Mexico. I was going to buy a Rabbit 4 door that was made in Germany, but for $500 or so more, I went with the Jetta and am glad that I did. I would not recommend the dealer though. They were typical BS artists with no product knowledge! I knew way more about all VWs than them.
