1999 Volkswagen Jetta GL 4 cylinder gasoline from North America
Summary:
Not worth the money
Faults:
Replaced the trunk release switch shortly after I bought it.
Window handle broke off.
Back seat cup holder broke the first time of using it.
Floor mat snaps broke within the first month.
24 hours after the two year warranty expired with only 21,000 miles on it, the check engine light came on -- replaced the MAF sensor, trunk light switch, and coolant temperature sensor.
It squeaks when I drive over even the littlest bumps.
There is some kind of black goo seeping out of the door hinges.
General Comments:
When I first bought this car I loved it, now I don't feel confident in it anymore.
When I owned my Honda I had things go wrong with it, but they were normal wear and tear things. I always felt secure that the car would never leave me stranded.
I don't feel the same about my V.W. anymore. I feel like I'm driving a really old unreliable car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Buy a Hyundai, you will be happy, Volkswagens are too expensive to maintain.
