2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLX review from North America

There is a little crack in the heater core (which it still has, but it is totally fine to drive with), so it loses coolant every once and awhile.

The coolant reservoir tank has been replaced twice.

The glovebox has fallen off, but can be put back in its place.

There hasn't really been much wrong with the car, just a few problems with the coolant system. Other than that, it runs great, and not too much money has been put into "repairs." The regular maintenance has really taken care of everything.

My family has had this car since the beginning, so I know the 2 previous owners. It has been taken care of immaculately, and because of that, the coolant system is really the only problem to speak of here.

I have the 6 speed manual, and it really feels great. It's quick, responsive, and the handling is great! The leather is superb, and looks like it is new.

The backseat is a little small for larger people, but no big deal usually. There are so many little things that are great about the car that you usually don't get in a car like this. Heated seats, power sunroof, memory seats, on board computer, outside/inside auto temp control, rear sunshade, monsoon sound system (we've added a subwoofer, and got a new radio with XM/iPod), traction control, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, and an awesome VR6 engine.

The lights are a little weak sometimes, but the fog lights make up for it. The feel of the car is great, it's very luxurious, but so sporty at the same time. You can sit back and enjoy the ride, or you can rev it up and watch it fly!

It's a great car, and even though a lot of people say there are lots of problems, I have just not come across them. I get my oil changed every 5,000 miles religiously (5w40 syn), always fill premium gas, keep it clean, and don't let problems fester. It's totally worth the money, and the mark 4s really do shine!
