2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI review from North America
"Better than expected, in every respect!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car, which is amazing.
General comments?
This VW Jetta TDI is without a doubt the most solid, reliable, and economical car that I have ever owned.
I am aware of three other TDI's of the same model year that have gone over 200,000 miles.
There has been no trouble at all associated with the diesel fuel - the technology has come a long ways since the first US diesel cars.
