2006 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"Expensive to own and very unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light comes on repeatedly for various reasons. Dealer is no help. Spent several thousand dollars in repairs already.
Headliner peeling.
Plastic interior trim parts wear quickly.
Radio station presets reset when starting car.
Trunk lid would not close.
General comments?
Would not consider another Jetta or VW. Expensive to own and very unreliable.
