2001 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8 turbo gas from North America
Summary:
Love Love Love!
Faults:
When I bought the car, the passenger window was broken off in door. (Plastic piece broke) Cost $180.
Check engine light goes on and off, though I do not think anything is wrong with it, just a sensor that is broken.
Lint sticks to the seats really bad and is hard to get off.
Area on my cluster is burnt out, have not gotten it fixed yet.
Other than that I have had no problems, and even the ones I listed are not a huge deal or cost.
General Comments:
This car has a lot of power.
Great look! I also bought after market headlights and tail lights, which look amazing.
Very sturdy ride.
Good stock stereo, speakers sound very good.
Shifts very smoothly, haven't had to replace clutch yet (I am not sure of when previous owner had it changed)
Very reliable, starts in the cold fine. 0 major problems with it so far! Will be buying another VW in the future!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Don't buy the Chilton or Hayes manuals, they are near useless unless you are OK with just a very general description of how things are assembled.
Get the manual from http://www.bentleypublishers.com/volkswagen/
They are definitely more expensive, but are worth the money, once you figure out how they work.
Unless you don't plan on keeping the car for long, buy from Bentley.
Good luck with your typical VW.
