2004 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Best economical sports car there is"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor problem with the driver's side window (linkage became disconnected), dealer fixed promptly.
General comments?
The 04 has the new PD type diesel engine. A big improvement over the old type in terms of noise, torque and vibration. Unfortunately mileage has gone down a little.
The new dash with the chrome is awesome especially at night with the blue lighting.
Very impressed with the handling and sportiness of the car. Can't beat the heated seats.
