General Comments:
Check engine light comes on every two months like clockwork. I have owned the car for 14 months and it has been in for service at the dealership 6 times. Very disappointing for a $22K car that is billed as a work of "German Engineering". Car has a lot of problems that is shared with other Volkswagens (Beetle, Golf, etc.). Volkswagen has a lot of "bugs" to work out in their emissions systems.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 2001 Jetta too (Review is "Piece of Crap!"). The transmission slipping thing has happened to me and about 3 of my friends... Volkswagen says it is normal! What a joke! I drove with the service manager to show him the slipping and he said "Oh they all do that". Give me a break, it is dangerous and VW won't fix it!
