2004 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Worth every penny so far"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing wrong with the car is that the engine light came on a lot after the first 2,000 miles. I had it assessed and it was found that the car had a bad O2 sensor. So that was a $210 job. I hear this is a common fault in the cars design. Other than that, the car runs great and the engine light hasn't come back on since.
The leather seats feel very nice, but the stitching in them is starting to fall apart.
General comments?
I love the car.
Handles OK in bad weather. Not like my Jeep with its 4 wheel drive, but it is a very fun ride.
I sometimes hear a rattling noise when driving fast, but it hasn't affected anything.
The heated seats are a very nice feature in the car.
