Turbo blown after 60k mile driven

2017 Volkswagen Jetta 1.4T SE 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

This is worst car ever. I bought 2017 Jetta in 2020 (used Jetta) as a commuter; it had 40k miles on it when I bought it. After 20k miles on it, turbo charger is blown and mechanic said it is $3500 to replace it. Avoid this car at all cost.

The Jetta S reminds me of my first car, VW Rabbit. Basic car, basic technology, but a hell of a lot of fun to drive.

Purchased late summer of 2017 - during the height of VW 's emissions issue. Fuel economy 41 MPG since new., Easy to drive with light clutch and manual transmission with smooth synchros. Huge trunk, comfortable seats and easy on tires:7/32 all around (new = 10/32.. No rattles, brakes are good: rotors, pads still original. Full IRS = fine handling!
Just plain fun!

I had no idea what I was buying--my salesperson was clueless--I just wanted to trade my 4th vdub for a 5th one. I bought her certified used, and could not be happier! I don't drive around town much, but I do make two or three long road trips a year (2000+ miles). I can't WAIT to drive this car on a highway! I only found out it was a turbo last week, and I've had it for 4 months! I love Jettas, I love the "tuxedo" interior, and I love this model! My last, a 2012, had the convenience package and was lovely, but the SEL TSI is splendid. It can haul some really big items in the back seat and trunk, too. It was a lease-return, and appears to have been well-taken care of. I'm pretty happy. I've driven race cars back in the day, and this is a pretty fun car.

Use this primarily for sales trips (4+ hrs highway) and as daily driver. Average over 40 mpg on highway up to 40k...had slight drop at 42k, changed spark plugs and back to over 40. Great legroom in back for taking customers to lunch, large trunk. At the price (15k OTD for SE) is a great deal. HATE the pleather seats as it’s hot and sticky on long drives but that’s only negative. Fun to drive, especially with manual.
