2000 Volkswagen Jetta from North America
Summary:
Good car with poor attention to engineering of interior items
Faults:
Driver side window dropped into the door.
Glove box hinge broke.
Front cup holder broke.
Side mirror switch broke.
Center armrest latch broke.
Brake light switch went out.
Had to replace brakes and rotors several times.
General Comments:
I like this car overall, it's just frustrating to see the little things giving me trouble and then reading that so many other owners are having the exact same problem. Obviously these items have design flaws and something should be done to help owners that show up at the dealer for service... warranty or no warranty. I only posted these comments after seeing so many other owners having the exact same problems.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

A diesel will not have the same take off as a gas engine because of the low horsepower rating, but the torque allows you to have a different sort of driving experience. You should have realized that when you bought it.
