Faults:

Rear left window quit working.

One door lock knob broke off.

Everything else was general scheduled repairs.

General Comments:

Super safe, solid, powerful. The New Yorker Magazine rated it among the safest of cars, noting that it is certianly for proactive drivers.

Reliable, high quality, like a BMW for a fraction of the price.

Best car I ever had.

Fog lights help tons in humid climates.

Sound system fantastic.

Faults:

It has lost acceleration rate.

General Comments:

For the amount of miles that are on the car, I haven't had to fix much.

When in fully-working condition, it's a lot of fun to drive. It has lots of torque.

It's very comfortable.

The diesel gets great mileage- about 49 miles per gallon.

The majority of the parts have outlived their "life expectancy," including the turbo.

Faults:

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car.

The only thing I noticed is cosmetic and it's just the wear on the brake boot. The leather didn't hold up real well, but is easily replaceable.

It goes back to our dealership for all service appointments. and maintenance. checks and has had no issues.

General Comments:

We have 3 diesel Jettas (82,89,98) and a 93 Eurovan, this one is by far the favorite of the crew. It's never sluggish and starts great in the Pennsylvania winters. The fuel mileage is excellent55/60mpg highway 50/town.

This car still rides like it was new.

A very smooth ride and it handles like a dream.

We have decided to keep this car till the end.

We are the home for wayward Volkswagens.

Faults:

Had to replace the stereo. Cost $260.00.

Left rear window fell down into the door. Three days in the shop. Cost $300.

Check engine light continues to go on. VW Dealership can't locate problem after two attempts, at $90 a pop. They suggested we start replacing parts. That scares me.

Driver door lock actuator failed. This caused the alarm system to malfunction. The car thought I, (the owner) was going to boost it. Very embarrassing at 10PM Cost $286.00.

Car was in shop 6 weeks for alarm system failure. It is still not working properly. Had to literally give my left arm.

General Comments:

This Jetta handles very well.

I thought the car was so great when we first had it.

Now the entire family thinks the car is possessed. The power windows go up and down randomly. The alarm system goes off while you are driving down the road. The auto door locks quit working. The dome light doesn't work. One day all the windows were stuck in the down position. I had to drive 15 miles across town in 20 degree weather.
