2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6 from North America
Summary:
Luxury car, comfortable price, hard on the wallet
Faults:
5 Coolant leaks due to faulty hoses... no joke, 5!
Replaced hoses twice and thermostat once.
Airbag Light on 3 times.
Cup holders jammed and broken 3 times (not due to excessive force)
Faulty Brake Switch.. causing EPC light to come on and car stuck in park.
Engine Workshop has came on twice. Had to take to VW and cost $100 everytime to run diagnostics on.
Front bumper has fell off too many times to remember.
General Comments:
This car is beautiful and drives beautifully as well.
However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because of all the problems I have had with it. Unless you have a ton of money to invest into it... which I unfortunetly don't.
Besides the problems I've had I love this car and will be sad to see it go... but it has got to go very soon.
I can no longer keep up with the maintenance.
I've put as much money in to this car as I've paid for it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

It all depends on how a vehicle is cared for since new.
I got 228,000 miles out of a Jetta with very few issues at all.
Just normal wear & tear items.
