2003 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America
"Wolfsburg is German for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new Wiper Blades = $0.
Purchased winter floor mats (not standard equipment, even in Canada!).
General comments?
I got my 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition (GLS) Jetta almost a year ago now and I have not for one second regretted my purchase! The 5-speed manual is a must when coupled with the turbo-charged 1.8 it is amazing what that little engine can do! It is a blast to drive and all the standard safety features give it that added edge of comfort and security behind the wheel. The Wolfsburg Edition in '03 came with LOADS of extras at only a slight increase in cost over the standard GLS, however they really only add to the already existing amazing features available in GLS and GLX Jetta lines.
It, of course, does not compare directly to the higher end BMW, Mercedes, or even Audi "comparables" but buck for buck I truly believe the GLS Jetta is a far better buy. Take one out for a test drive... but bring your pocket-book... you may fall in love.
