2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLX review from North America
"Most fun car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all!
General comments?
People must understand that this is a finely tuned machine; It is not something you can just forget about and drive without giving it the respect it deserves. I love this car and HIGHLY recommend it. By maintaining this car on a regular basis, this car continues to perform at its HALF LIFE extremely well. I will say, avoid the dealership at all costs. The best type of person to own this car is someone whom LOVES their car. Doing the work and maintenance on this car has saved me THOUSANDS by avoiding the dealers' OUTRAGEOUS prices. If you have common sense and a mechanical aptitude, buy this car. If you are a zombie air head who goes to the dealer every time you hit a pothole, avoid this car. The car has amazing power, as well.
P.S. The 1st owner (from new to 95k) also had ZERO problems because of exceptional care of the vehicle.
