2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Great car, good quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that went wrong with my VR6 was that I had to change the AC compressor (400$) and one O2 sensor (60$), both from ebay!!
For the fun I changed my cat converter; I bought a Magnaflow for $45.
Other than that, nothing.
I have no idea why this car is getting so much negative feedback. Probably bad luck.
The only thing you should probably go with is a manual transmission; the 4 speed automatic is not that good.
General comments?
Runs great, not so bad on gas, well at least comparing to my 4.2 Range Rover.
If you compare it with any car of its category, none will give you leather heated seats, great sound system and electric everything for that price.
