2000 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"Feels solid, but breaks like a cheap plastic toy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes went out at 15,000 (rear)
Brakes went out at 30,000 (rear)
Mass flow meter went out at 34,000.
Glove box broke.
Arm rest broke.
General comments?
This car feels solid, but it is nickle and diming me to death.
I don't trust it for long trips.
It is the plastic in the little things that break. They use a better quality of plastic in McDonald's Happy Meal toys.
I drove a Mazda for 130,000 mile and only changed the oil.
