Faults:

Nothing. It's been fantastic. The only issue so far is that unfortunately I was hit by some dipsh*t liar in Simi Valley CA and my Jetta has been at the body shop for 3 months waiting for some backordered impact bar.

That's just unfortunate, but nothing really to do with the car itself.

If I had to pick a negative for my Jetta it's this: The stock sound system, is G A R B A G E. Get the Beats Audio, or JBL whichever they use... it's so much better. The sound quality is better through bluetooth than the USB direct to Apple Carplay. It's sad. It's OK... but not a good sound system. Otherwise the power is surprisingly good for such a small engine, the gas mileage is spectacular, it's comfortable and even though it's an "economy car" and I believe the least expensive car they sell in the US, it FEELS substantial, stable, and more expensive than it is. I have no regrets yet about my decision to finally join the V-Dub Club.
