2000 Volkswagen Jetta GL review from North America
"A lot of car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Initial electrical issue.
Expensive parts.
General comments?
I had an issue with the electrical system, I pressed the lock key on the key fob and the alarm went off and would not shut off. I had the car towed to the dealership because the trunk would not close. The dealership gave me a passat while it was being fixed (4 days) and I have not had any issues since.
I was hit in a parking lot. cost to replace bumper $4000.
