2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"A fast, beautiful, German engineered performance bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with my vehicle is that the sunroof got stuck. However, after leaving it alone for a few minutes, the problem mysteriously solved itself and never reoccurred.
General comments?
I love this car!
The 1.8 Turbo is the best engine I have ever had in a vehicle. It is reliable and there is no noticible turbo lag. It sounds great and pulls even better!
The only downside is that it requires premium gasoline, but I don't mind paying a bit extra for the excellent performance I get back.
The interior is very luxurious (i opted for the leather and sports packages) and the fits in the interior are impressive.
The car looks great and I love the rims (I have the optional 17 inch rims from the sports package)
The stereo rocks (I have the optional monsoon sound system)
The service I have received from the dealership has been excellent and they even gave me a free extended warranty when I bought the vehicle!
