2001 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America

Oh my God! Every time I turn around something is going wrong with my 2001 Jetta. First, the inside is peeling on the door handles and the ashtray. The headlights constantly smoke, I have gotten several tickets because either the front headlights are out or the brake lights are out and I am not aware, the engine light has been on for over a year and no one can seem to fix it correctly past 3 days and the car jerks like crazy. It's hard to keep my payments on time when I have to keep using the money to get the car fixed every other weekend. I loved the car and decided to buy one. I will never ever by another one again. Oh, and it's horrible on gas and I had a nasty smell coming from my car and nothing I used work. After trying to inspect the car myself, I found mold in the trunk underneath where the spare tire is and on one last note, when it rains, sometimes my car gets flooded on the passenger side only even though the windows are rolled up.

When it's working properly in between breakdowns, it rides nice.
