Accessory power didn't work on delivery. I didn't figure it out till the next day. Took it back to the dealer and they installed a fuse that was missing. There was a 20 amp fuse in the console when I took delivery, but I didn't think anything of it. It was almost like the dealer prep wasn't completed or they wanted me to meet their service guys. 5K mile maintenance was $86. Kind of pricey so I'll probably use my local garage for future service.

Driver seat fabric has started to develop pills already.

The car is the value priced model and I'm very happy with it so far. Value priced model tires and wheel covers are not the greatest. I'll probably upgrade them sometime soon. Tilt / telescoping wheel is hard to adjust, but I'm getting used to it. Instrument panel with ice warning and temp is nice. Sound system is excellent, esp the MP3 capable CD player. I got a cable to connect my MP3 player to the AUX outlet, but they could have put it somewhere better than the glove box. Handles well in snow and icy conditions. Fun car to drive. Power & torque from the 5 cylinder engine is impressive. I get 33 MPG at 75 MPH avg, pretty good after driving a full size pickup. I would have preferred a BMW or Acura, but with 2 in college I'll have to wait a few years. The Jetta was a nice compromise and good way to lower my carbon emissions.

I have been driving this car for two weeks, engine light came on and now it will not start.

I do not like the fact that I could not contact anyone to get an answer to my problem.

I like the heated seats, especially now in the winter, they warm up way before the heat comes on, so you are not completely cold when you sit into your car.

Controls are easy to operate. This car is very roomy.

I have this new 2007 VW Jetta Wolfsburg for over 2 weeks now, I know this is not a lengthy time, but the car is impeccable. Nothing has gone wrong yet and if you make it through the first 2 weeks you should be golden.

The car is everything I expect from German engineering, though it is made in Mexico the guitar is detailed excellently inside and out.

The ride is very quiet and the fun factor is definitely a 10!

The cabin is spacious for a car this size and I feel is a great alternative to a much more expensive BMW. This Jetta rocks!

The additional features like black ice warning flashing temp and snowflake, heated seats that are variable instead of hi and low, the ambient heater/ac vent on the dash, the small, but very useful overhead lights that light up the console at night and all of this illuminated with blue back lighting with red accents on controls. Feels like a stealth fighter at night.

Faults:

Didn't start one day, I think I tripped some sort of security feature on it. Waited 5 minutes and it started right up.

Other than that: nothing yet, although I have only been driving it for 2 weeks now.

General Comments:

So far this is a very nice car.

I love the turn signal lights on the mirrors, the heated faux leather seats, and the rubber mats.

Engine seems to get more powerful everyday, especially in sport mode.

Also, the tip-tronic DSG 6 speed is a nice touch too.

I was very excited when I got this car, until I read some reviews on Volkswagen here.

Still going to remain positive though since this is my first new car purchase, or rather lease, ever.

Still not sure If I will buy this out at the end of the 39-months though due to the horror stories posted here on this site.
