Not a Fan, Despite Being a Lifelong VW Owner
I've had 7 VW Jetta diesels since the mid-80's which all hold great memories. They were reliable, good on fuel, required little more than regular maintenance, and were easy to find resources for when needed. That all changed with the 2013 Jetta TDI. It has had more mechanical glitches than my other 6 had combined. Some were electronic, some were mechanical, and in each case parts were hard to acquire, expensive, and costly to install. The car rides and handles nicely, has the usual solid fuel mileage, but these ongoing annoyances tell me that a lot of corners have been cut in the quality of this vehicle over its predecessors. After having been a VW aficionado for 37 years, I now have to say that my next car will NOT be a VW.

Grinding Noise 2013 Jetta
I really like the car, it handles very well in the city and on the road, however, it makes a grinding noise when simply driving 25-30 mph down a city street. The noise is right under my feet! At first they couldn't find anything so I had one of the guys ride with me and when he heard it he was puzzled. I was told to bring it back one day and they'll have a Tech ride with me so when I have a chance, I'll take it back! Had I known it was assembled in Mexico I never would have purchased it! I thought they were being assembled at least in Tenn. I'm so disappointed that I wished I had purchased a Chevy or Buick!
Very reliable, great mileage
After 10 months and 9500 miles, all is excellent...upper 40s on the hwy, 29-30 in horrible suburban driving conditions where I live (a lot of stop and start). Absolutely no problems. I think it's a great, fun car for the money. A bit slow on the start, but it picks up speed quickly. I'm sold on diesel. The only thing I don't like is the odometer display. My wife claims she doesn't care about cars but I can tell she loves it.
