1999 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 V6 from North America
Summary:
It is sleek looking, but it is not reliable.
Faults:
I have only had the car for three months, in with in the first week of purchase things went very wrong.
My Visor light stays on at all times and I fixed it by taking out the light bulb.
My six disk CD changer broke three weeks after purchase. It jammed and will not let me manually take out the changer. It has my Cd's stuck in the changer. The dealer says they will not fix it under the warranty.
The Check engine light comes on more times then I can count.
The car dies ALL the time. I have had it checked, and the TECHS say it is not the battery or the alternator, it is a short.
The brakes have squeaked since day one, and now, 3 months after purchase, the ABS and BRAKE light flash at all times.
The key does not work when used in the door to shut or open windows and sunroof.
My trunk light has never worked.
Once again I have had this car for little less than three months, and I have STILL failed to get registration tag, and plates.
General Comments:
The car has a lot of pep to it, and looks very nice, however it has many hidden problems. I can only hope nothing else major goes wrong after these problems are fixed.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have the same car and it's a real money pit I haven't had it for more than a month and a half before it has had to go in for something. but a sweet car to drive.
