2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI review from North America
"VW quality and good service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My electronic compass kept disappearing, lucky it was when it was still on warranty. Happened 3 separate times. My latest issue has been when the vent is on, it fogs up. I am forced to drive with my AC on at all times to mitigate the issue.
General comments?
Overall we have been happy with the car. We drive it 105 kms per day round trip to work and are getting about 51 MPG, a little less now that I have to have the A/C on.
