2001 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"The Jetta is a good car, but I would like it better if it did not reak of crayons"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've gone through 3 batteries and am now replacing the alternator.
The arm rest is broken.
The vehicle "famously" has the over-powering smell of crayons.
General comments?
I love the look of my Jetta.
I like the space it has.
The overpowering crayon smell has made me nauseous and all us Jetta owners needs to call VW 800-822-8987 to report this annoying smell.
I like the power it has.
I like how it drives, very smooth.
