2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"It is a great value and a fine car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Daughter broke rear ashtray.
Latch for center armrest broke.
Squeak from rear suspension.
General comments?
This car has great fuel economy. I've had no problems starting it during the winter, even though it is a diesel. It has great handling and control. The trunk is very roomy for a car in its size range.
